Front break squeeks when I hold it in. Why?

It says squeek-squeek wery fast. It sounds like it follows the vibrations in engin when it idling. Can it be the abs-unit or something? It is only when I hold the break handle in.

if youre speaking of the squeal while sitting still, that's the abs system, pump/servo. flush the front circuit out. OR if the unit is bad. replace it. BIG $. or just remove it and have standard brakes. (that was my decision)

or while its moving? that could be a number of things. warped rotor and bad discs. replace them

Thanks peels. The rotor and disks is good as new. Take a closer look at abs-unit then.
