Right, you can see most mechanic cannot do proper job on simple thing. It is better you do yourself on your car. Otherwise you dont know which mechanic is good. Many car owners have problem with mechanics because cowboys mechanics usually mess things up.

To fit the pads and discs on the auris are really easy (correct me if I'm wrong) but as the mk1 and mk2 auris have the same layout (just different body kit) it's really easy. Front pistons just push in. Rears do needs rewinding (a bit of a pain in the ***** but if you take fluid reservoir cap off its not bad). Discs are just held on with the wheel, if you can't get them off use an m6 screw (iirc) in the thread slot for the disc and the old ones pop off. Some of the easiest brakes I have fitted to be honest.

Thanks for advices, I have looked at Euro CarParts for Brake Discs and Pads and I am not sure they are good enough. I have looked at mtec brake and I am very interested in it. They are fantastic products. I might go for mtec disc and mintex pads or I will go direct to Toyota. I found their products and they are fantastic. You are very lucky to have skills to fit yourself. I have learnt the lesson that most mechanics cannot fit new discs and pads properly. Most are cowboys.

I have an 08 2.0 mk1 auris with mtec front and rear discs (dimpled and grooved) with mintex pads all round. Never had any problem with noise and minimal brake dust too (i fitted them all myself) but cost me around 180 for all

Hello - welcome to Toyota Owners Club.

The T27 petrol from 2009 on is a CVT

I seem to recall many many complaints (on this forum as well) about brake noise in the early days of the Auris. Toyota responded with modified parts to fix the issue. I remember being surprised on my then new 1.33 Auris at just how chamfered the front pads were. Brakes have been silent in over 6 yrs. I suspect you are going to be looking at official Toyota parts to fix this.

I would start by checking that there isn't a faulty connection.

My mk1 1.8 (non vvt) has a non Toyota centre section and rear box, sounds very raspy like a bad sports exhaust and it does rattle the heat shields. Not too fussed as its just a work run about instead of a van but can see that it would annoy most folk. Not sure what brand it is tho. Sent from the moon using telepathy

The Euroflo was on the car since August 2015. The back box fitted better than the Klarius version I fitted the year before. The Euroflo system looks more like the original than the React/Klarius combo, I bought from Euro Car Parts. The both brands come with stainless steel catalytic converter sections. The shapes differ. I actual have a used React Cat' for a Mk1. I will sell that as it is mint. Here is a picture after cutting off the corroded bolts. Original Mk1 back box joint after 17 years. The issue is the fit. Make sure it is not touching anything, and that is aligned and not transmitting any resonance. The Mk2 "should" be easier, but you never know what to expect. I sold my Mk1 a few months back. Hopefully I should not need to touch the Mk3 yet. There is a lot of reading and even though your car is different the principals are the same. A friend had a new back box fitted on his Mk2, and it seemed fine.
