So just a few weeks after a track day the brakes starting squeaking out of control. Pads were glazed. Should this be covered under warranty? End of the day if the pads cannot take a bit of heat they should not be on this car.

 

try heating them up again on the street, that should make it go away. They should be fine.

 

Subscribed....after last track day they squeal really bad! Didn't happen after the previous one, but hopefully it will work itself out.

 

Depending on what kind of track day you had
Did you try to heat them up and see if it goes away?

 

Did a veteran racer actually tell you they were "glazed"? Are you absolutely certain this is the state your pads are in?

Are your brakes working fine? Your pads will not glaze over just from street driving. There is a 99.9% chance they are not actually glazed.

Just deal with the squeak -- your pads are fine and do not require a full heat cycle / bed procedure or the scuffing/sanding necessary to remove 'glaze'.

Welcome to tracking! Depending on the weather and humidity, your 911 TT is going to frequently sound like a 100K dump truck as you pull up to stop lights

p.s. most people who track 911s get rid of PCCBs.

Not worth the $$ unless you are rich. Has nothing to do with squeal, and everything to do with overpriced rotors yielding only a percieved extra stiffness/initial bite that some people use to justify their exorbitant cost when they ultimately have little to no real world additional performance or cost benefit on or off the track.

If your pads are in fact glazed, well... time to swap to new pads and hope they don't destroy your rotors. I love Performance Friction myself - get the 01 if you want the best pads money can buy that will stop you like the hand of god is gripping your car in a brake zone, or 06 if you want a longer lasting compound.

I believe there is a Porsche-endorsed Pagid compound for PCCBs out now. The PCCB fan boys can correct me if I am wrong but for a while there was no confirmed official Porsche-backed race pad for PCCB rotors. I did a ton of research on them before I bought my TT but I am by no means an expert, so fire away if I'm off the mark here

 

Mine did have some glazing...it went to the shop shortly after tracking for suspension goodies, so I'll let u know if the Emory cloth they used helped at all.

 

Did a track day at SPA. Heating them up did not work. Did heating them up work for you guys?

 

So, after getting the car back, the slight sanding didn't really help. I do find that if I get them hot, they seem to stop squealing.....but hard to get them (and keep them) hot on the street. Guess I'll have to track more often

 

If you track any of these cars, make sure you change the stock brake fluid to a more race ready one. The stock fluid tends to boil quite quickly which does not bode well for brake wear.

The squeal I think will be something that you have to get used to unfortunately. If you are going to track the car more give steel brakes a serious thought and put the PCCB's away for when you sell the car.
