My car is a 2.9 987.2
A couple of months ago I had all discs/pads replaced by a local Porsche Specialist. I've probably done only 200-300 miles since then.
In the last couple of weeks the nearside front brake has been making a squealing noise (not particularly loudly) which sounds to me as though the back front pads are moving in relation to the piston as the disc rotates. This appears to only happen when the brakes are warm and the noise will go away while I hold my foot on the brake pedal.
My guess is that a light smear of copper grease between the piston and pad may solve the problem, and I can do this myself rather than have to take the car back to the specialist, however I just thought I'd mention it here in case anyone else has any suggestions as to cause and cure.
I note that in some circumstances the PSM keeps the pads lightly in contact with the discs so I'm hoping the issue I have is simply a matter of anti-squeal lubrication rather than a PSM problem.
