Brake grinding noise

[AusieCX9]

Hi All,

My Dec 2009 build CX9 (facelift version) just went in for its 10000km service, for a while now I have been hearing a grinding noise when applying the brakes pulling into my driveway. Its only really noticable when braking while the car is going quite slow.

I mentioned this to the service tech.

When I picked it up they said that they confirmed that there is a noise and they looked up the "Mazda Computer" and discovered that there is a fix for it (must be a known fault). It requires a new "revised guide plate" which they will be ordering in for me.

Has anyone else heard of this - I can't seem to find any TSB about it, but have not looked too hard.

Cheers

Interesting. I thought that TSB was for '07 and '08 models.
Your service advisor could be wrong.
I had mine changed, the noise was greatly reduced on my '08.

I will get him to double check when I call him to arrange a date/time to get it done !

They do say that we are a little "behind the times" Down Under in Australia - LOL

Does it cause excessive wear on the discs / pads if I leave it a few weeks / months ?

Cheers

Nah, you are at least a half a day ahead of us according to the international date line.(drinks)

Seriously,
no. It just makes noise when the brake has moisture on it and is cold.
It usually happens on first drive in the morining.
