Anyone driving Kia and service their car with CnC? I just went for 40k servicing. SA say front brake pad left 10%, when I went for my 20k servicing, the same guy also say left 10-20% which I say go ahead with the replacement.

 

I drive with rather hard braking, but Kia OEM brake pad got so fast need to change meh? I never come across this frequency with the other brands.

 

Anyone have such encounter?

40k seems fast, my vios previously clocked almost 150k before i changed the rear pads. 

[RadX]

just changed rear brake pads for my F10 at 78000km.  Front still not used....I was like wtf....hahhaa

 

Workshop fella say I flintstone..lol

 

Seldom use brake as I moderate with engine brake more... Plan your line of sight so that you do not brake so often

yeah, I think my front will be changed in that kind of distance too.

It's actually 20k, cause I already replace on the 20k servicing. He still can tell me: "Yah, about time to change." when I told him I just change only.

maybe last round they didn't change at all? 

[flashbang]

Sound like C&C anyhow change brake pad? Mine used for 30k already, never ask to change yet. 

[Kangadrool]

think only need to change when you hear screeching sound. It's designed to make some noise when the pads are low.

actually normal korean n jap car very easy to do brake pad self check.

just look inside the caplier .

see the photo on top, the thinner section is the metal and the thicker section is the pad.

left abit then need to change, most jap/korean car got a metal indicator haven finish, will have a screeching sound already.

 

dun kenna smoke by AD 

conti like BM will have sensor to tell u

That's right. Some have a groove running down the middle. If the pad is flat with the deep section of the groove, time to replace.

Be light footed on accelerator pedal. Brake pads can last longer.

Then what if can't brake in time and then have to jam brake? Won't take consume more brake pad and shorten their life span?

 

Cadenced braking is better - no?

Is cadence braking with ABS equipped vehicles required still?

[Banz86]

Me too, my front brakes have not been changed and my mileage is around 87k. I changed my rear brakes 4 years ago at 40k mark which has worn out.

Cadence braking is the "human ABS" and we should always try to practise it. Once it becomes muscle memory, having the technology to back you up would make it even more effective - no?

You will mess up ECU calculation.

 

Rather than cadence braking, why not brake harder to activate ABS?
