AT sedan orig brakes - how long before replacement?

[Galactus]

I drive an 97 A/T Accord. All 4 wheels have disc brakes. I've traveled over 20k kms. on it, bago napansin ng mekaniko ko sa Shell na time for replacement na. Di pa naman umiingay, pero huwag ko na daw hintayin. Preventive maintenance kumbaga.

Di kaya japeyks yung mga naunang Bendix pads? Yung officemate mate ko before, wala pang 8 months, pinalitan agad yung "Bendix" niya, kasi it was screeching daw. Sabi nung mekaniko niya, saw dust yung material, peke daw. So he bought a pair na lang sa casa, kahit mahal.

Galactus. Maaaring japeyks yung pads kasi I've been using Bendix for years with no problems whatsoever.

Speaking of japeyks, ipopost ko pala sa goonsquad yang Lucban Autosupply sa Marikina. Loko ang mga tao. I was asking for bendix pads tapos nung wala na sila makita, they put a set of pads sa bendix na box (malay ko kung ano yun). I checked and sabi ko hindi yan bendix.

How did I know, kasi nasilip ko sila sa bodega nila. And kitang kita ko kung paano nila inilipat sa bendix na box. Mga loko..hehe.

bat ang bilis maupod ng pads mo? yung OEM pads ko, simula ng binili ko yung oto hindi pa ako nagpapalit (although MT yung sa akin).

nung pinabuksan ko two weeks ago to check (while Cruven is working on my suspension bushings), makapal pa.

IMO, 8TKm is way too early to have your brake pads replaced, even if the pads are replacement pads and your ride is A/T.

Must be material issue or an accelerated wear and tear in the system

1D4LV: Were talking of bendix pads. I now replaced them with OEM.

CVT: Yup way too early nga. I'm rulling out brake system problems since okay naman ang diagnosis sa Speedyfix. I think it might be the pads. Baka factory defect or something.

Djerms,
Have you tried jacking the front end of the car up with the transmission in neutral, and checking the wheels if they rotate freely? If there's any resistance there may be calipers that are stuck up and won't release from the rotor. It happened to me a long time ago. Brake caliper repair kit lang ang katapat, inayos ng Servitek no problem

HTHs bro

sorry, di ko nakita na bendix replacement pads pala.
i've used them on my past units, yun din ang napansin ko, mabilis maupod.

[Djerms]

Type100: Yup, they also did this in Speedyfix and wala naman daw resistance. Naiinis lang talaga ako dun sa Bendix na nabili ko. Parang mas matagal pa yung preno ng bisikleta eh..Hehe.

To AT sedan owners. Every how many kilometers ang palit ng orig brake pads ninyo?

I noticed that I replace my replacement bendix brake pads every 5tkms. Ang cost nito is around 1k including labor. Sa 20tkms i'll be spending 4k.

Ang cost ng orig brake pads is 3.8k. So kung tatagal ng more than 20tkms ito, mas sulit ito IMO. I just bought one for the reason that the bendix pads are out of stock.

I was just thinking if I can justify the huge damage this morning. My ride is an altis 1.6G by the way.

In my 99 corolla 1.6L GLi A/T, I replace my brake pads every 7000km to 10,000km. I usually use Bendix replacement pads or Bendix metallic brake pads.

For my car, original brake pads didn't last any longer than the Bendix pads. Metallic pads can last longer than regular pads & offer better grip but they are harsher on the brake rotor.

Isa pa napansin ko sa bendix pads. Sobra ang brake dust. Kahit short travel lang lakas ng brake dust. I came from baguio and with the orig pads, wala or very minimal lang yung dust.

userfriendly, are you using orig pads or replacement?

Avanza is original factory installed unit.
For the Venture, I use OEM, AC Delco brand. Very little difference between OEM and replacement for my unit.
