Hello,
I had my front rotors and pads replaced, calipers inspected and slider pins lubed three weeks ago on my D-Tec 2012. About a day or or two after the service i started hearing a faint squeal coming when moderately braking (this noise is not present when lightly or highly pressing the brakes). After about 6 days the car started sounding like a semi trying to brake with a full load (having the windows down will deafen you). Fast forward to three weeks and i was pulled over due to the noise, they checked my MoT inspection and i explained the situation. I was originally thinking the issue was bad pads but after a little checking, i noticed that the LF rotor is rusted about 5cm (2 inches) in from the "hat" of the rotor. This rust is not taken away by the pads, which makes me think the slide pins are bad. What do you think?
Random info:
-no other brake rotors have rust.
- no nose when releasing brakes.

Random info:
-no other brake rotors have rust.
- noise only occurs when the brakes have warmed up or temps are above 0c/32f.
- no pulling is occuring when braking.
- rust does seem to become irritated after driving.
- noise only happens when halfway into a stop, no noise when starting or finishing the stop.
- subtle squeal at highway speeds (barely audible).
- surface of rotor not impacted by rust does show signs of wear, similar to other rotors.
- no nose when releasing brakes.
