At a wild guess, it's probably the brake light switch on the pedal...

No problem

Default Alfa 156 Brake Problem

I noticed this morning that every time I press the brake pedal I can hear a
switch "clicking" sound. It only takes light pressure to cause it and it is
definately not a suspension type sound as it immediately follows on from a
press on the pedal.

Does any one know what this might be?

Cheers in advance.

Catman, I should have said that I can hear the noise externally, it is
definately not inside the car.

I get this. It's the rear brake pads clicking in their calipers, doesn't
seem to be a problem.

Hi;
I have this problem at the moment. Sounds a bit like a push bike
freewheeling, sorta click,click,click. Happens when I break or turn
sharply at low speed. Coming from fron passenger side.
Collegues have suggested that it is the CV joint. It should be packed
with grease by a mechanic. If that doesnt work then a replacement may be
needed.
Apparently can cause tyre wear. Dont know if can cause other problems
with stearing.

Hi Mitch,
Check out my reply to the thread, [146 suspension / steering loud
scraping noise] it could apply to your fault too.
