Crunching? noise when braking.

Car is fitted with 4 disc brakes. When you brake lightly and come to a stop there is no noise from the braking system. When you brake heavily you can hear a crunching type of noise before it stops. This does not happen all the time. Have inspected the discs through the alloy wheels and they all look fne. No scoring or worn…

When driving gently today the brakes does not make a noise. Only does when braking hard. It seems to come from the rear. Can feel no pulsating effect on brake pedal.

I'd bet on the rear pads, the rear brakes aren't doing much when you brake gently, unless you have a load in the boot.

More to the point, you have an unexpected noise when braking, which you do not understand. Go to a garage and have it checked!
