Hi

I did checked with the local Porsche dealer (Stevens Creek Porsche) and was told that it was due to brakes caliper dusts. He washed the brack pads and the sound stopped.

Howvere, the next day, the brake screeching/squeaking returned. The dealer told me that it is normal - porsche brake calipers get dust between the brake pads while normal driving and will makke sound. The only solution seems to be to wash them everyday. He also told me that the brakes of lightly used street driven boxsters tend to glaze and this can also cause squeking. He told me practically to live with it.

I am new to the world of porsche so my question is - is what the dealer telling me true? If so, what can I do to prevent the annoying sound short of washing them brakes everyday? Or is the dealer fibbing me to avoid correcting some genuine problem (the car is under warrenty).

Please tell me what to do
