Hey guys,
i'm getting some weird sounds when i drive. When slowing down apply pressure on the brakes, a worrling sound can be heard... also sometimes when i reverse it makes a loud humming sound. i recently replaced my pads, and i bleed the brakes, but i did have some issues with the bleeding.
1st. my front calipers didn't have bleedin valves i know it sounds crazy, but after check with the FSM the part on the caliper where there is supposed to be on, is flat. I will Post pics up to prove this for those who don't believe me.
2nd. the rear calipers have 2 valves and i'm not sure which one to bleed... so i bleed both... however i was getting uneven brake fluid through them. it was very strange.
any help or ideas would be great. thanks.

 

Lower of the 2 rear bleeding valve bleeds out the caliper, not needed regularly, doesn't matter though.

You should bleed through the bottom one now, with the top one closed if you bleed them both at the same time for some reason.

The sound could be your discs.. look at the surface of the brake disc and make sure it's absolutely flat and smooth.

Also if you didnt break in your new pads correctly...

And humming on reverse isn't related to your brakes... if it's more of a mechanical whirring it's normal transmission noise.

i know the reverse gear sound, and trust me this isn't a normal one. i'll try rebleeding again. thanks.
