Magpa 2nd opinion ka na lang sir sa ibang casa or sa ibang magagaling na shop

pre - there was only one time when i drove to pampanga.. that was it. (actually, that was the first time i heard the "sound" in my breaks...) it is all city driving (QC to Makati, then Makati to QC - everyday)...

ok well explained, meaning hindi talaga brake pads iyan dahil hindi siya pwedeng maupod nang ganun kabilis kung tama nga talaga ang pagkakasabi mo na hindi ka madalas mag-hard break.

well actually, yung 2 explanation na binanggit sa iyo, parehas kaduda-duda eh. pero nakakatawa yung 2nd explanation sa iyo na "may naipit lang na bato lolz".

explain further yung "garalgal" sound. alam mo sir, tingin ko grasa lang iyan eh. hindi ka na matutulungan nang casa niyan, almost incompetent mga mechanics doon (yung mga chief taga-tingin nalang or nasa office desk, yung mga ojt ang tumatrabaho tsk).

I would recommend going to Zee, tapos ipa-test drive mo, I can assure you, competent sila (or yung naging mechanic ko doon na isa).

i have a 2006 vios 1.3e and its odo reading just hit 15k. sa casa ang PMS nya lagi and never pa na replace ng brake pads. lumubog sa baha for 2 days nung ondoy. bumalik naman nang maayos pero ang problema eh naka ilaw yung check engine. i am planning to bring it to the casa for its 15k pms at isasabay ko na rin yung pag check sa check engine chorva. running smoothly, mabilis at maliksi pa rin ang takbo nya. kaso nakakatakot i byahe ng malayo at baka kung saan pa ko itirik. hanggang ngayon di ko pa nilalagyan uli ng radyo at baka bumaha na naman dito sa amin at malunod na naman sya

grabeng kababa naman ng tinakbo oto mo. san mo lang ginagamit yun?

[wondersuman]

hahaha...dalawa kasi sasakyan so salitan sila nung binenta kong 2002 revo vx. eh ngayong diesel na adventure na pinalit kay revo mas lalong di na nagagamit yung vios. mahal kasi gasolina. lalong matatambak yung vios sa garahe sa gym o grocery lang gamit ni vios ngayon, nalalayuan na ko na bumyahe sya ng more than 10 km. tama na yung ma exercise sya paminsan minsan, pang coding na lang.

i once drove all over the city after a brake job. come nightfall, it was the first time i saw a dull red, glowing wheel assembly. but hey! i simply allowed them to cool, readjusted the brake, and drove off. but it was a stunning experience. air cooled VW..
your experience, my guesses: 1. your metal surfaces are imperfect and are sandpapering the pads. but this will probably result in only one set of pad wear. 2. if all four wheels experience premature pad wear, then the only explanation is.... excessive use. 3. if only the rear wheels are affected, then it must be the "driving with the handbrake engaged" syndrome.
good luck.
