Kiario 5th Gear April 23, 2003 Author Share April 23, 2003 Your low speed wobble could oso be due to out-of-round tyres or rim. Get C&C to check wiper arm tension too for the juddering. out of round??? okie, will try to tell stamford tis...wiper arm tension, yar, if its not the motor then tis may be another reason too....will tell them to rectify the problem tomorrow...thnks to u too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dome Neutral Newbie April 25, 2003 Share April 25, 2003 I hope they de-dust , sand and clean the brake pads/shoes throughly for you at C&C. When you collect your car, do ask the service advisor to sit with you and go for a test drive. If the brakeing sound still persist. Ask him for his explanation My advise,.... As a new car owner, insist that C&C change the brake pads for you if the sound is too unbearable. Good luck "Live life to the Max." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Neutral Newbie April 25, 2003 Share April 25, 2003 (edited) hi...me at c&c now...heehee....told them about the anti-squeal thing but the staff laugh saying cannot anihow spray at the brakes he told me the sound is normal as new cars all like tat, say it wouldn't affect the brake...after i insist tat the sound is beri loud then did he tell me tat he will get the mechanics to check the brakes...hope they can solve it er,..... i think when the brake rotor is cold then it will tend to be noisy when apply. but once it is warmed up then the noisy sound will stop. yes there is something that you can apply on the back of the brake pads back to cut down sqeaky sound when brake apply.... but i am not very sure what is it called.... the other reason can be it is because the brake is not really run in yet.... ( i think is call the beding in or something) hope my 2 cent will help cheers karen Edited April 25, 2003 by Karen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiario 5th Gear April 25, 2003 Author Share April 25, 2003 yup, the squealing sound oni can be heard in the morning when the rotor is cold..i noe its some anti-squeal thing but so paiseh when the technical adviser laugh at me, then telling me cannot anihow spray things on the brakes running in of brakes?? but the noise wasn't there until recently, if its true then i will feel better...thnks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Neutral Newbie April 26, 2003 Share April 26, 2003 but so paiseh when the technical adviser laugh at me, then telling me cannot anihow spray things on the brakes hi, i think he misunderstood what you are trying to tell him ie: to apply anti-sqeaky grease on the back of the brake pads to, to spary something on the disk rotor... don't worry..... i never fail to amuse my service technocal adviser everytime i sent my car to the workshop for something..... you should see them trying so very hard not to laugh at me about what i tell them, for idac claim adviser some of them like my "jokes" so much that everytime they see me they are begging for more.... ops...... this is what i call real paiseh......... anyway hope to hear from you soon..... on you reply that the brakes is no longer noisy cheers karen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
