    Re: New brakes needed, again

    GR:

    I'll soon need new pads all round after 30,000 miles, of which about 3/4 is motorway.  The parts are over £1000 but fitting is hardly any more, even at an OPC.  I agree with Carlos - replace pads whenever needed but always replace pads if replacing rotors. 

    Yes, if the rotors are replaced, replacing the pads too (even if they are OK) is highly recommended.

    I never heard however that each pad renewal requires a rotor renewal, maybe we have some sort of misunderstanding here.

    Re: New brakes needed, again

    Turns out it is 16k miles, not 12k miles since last replacement. Saw several cars at the dealer that had much worse lips than mine, I think the dealer wanted to replace them way too early. I will wait for the light to come back on...

    Alan, sorry to hear that; best of wishes for a speedy and hopefully reasonably economical recovery. crying (best emoticon I could find, it says crying, but it looks as grouchy as me after a needed annual chiropractor adjustment) at least drop a PM about the issue (if you don't want to discuss board wide; just for my curiosity)

    SciFrog, I really wasn't trying to disparage the brand; but perhaps a little jab at the dealer. You might want to wait on the local mechanics analysis of the problem and estimate of remediation before getting too far along that track??

    No problem Gladstone.  The error that I got was a "return to workshop" message, or something along those lines.  So I was prepared for the worst, but luckily my service tech called back and the repair was only $300.  I'll report back on what the details were.  While in the shop, I told them about the hot start problem, and they said that the cable assembly was already replaced, so they suspected the starter.  They replaced it, and I'll see if my hot start problem is gone.  I got use to waiting for the car to cool down before I try to start it. Smiley

    The "hot start" problem is gone.  We replaced the starter, and the engine fires up nicely, every time, hot or cold.  Smiley

    Now, I can fill up my gas at the station, without having to leave the engine running all the time. Smiley

    SciFrog:

    Sorry but these days rotors always need to be changed when pads are gone too. I have had numerous cars (non porsches too) and never once pads were changed but not rotors in the last 10 years.

    Something is very off here. You should not need new pads after 18k miles, under your stated driving style and certainly not rotors. Rotors should last a very long time.

    If i were you I would take the car to another dealer and investigate your rotor situation (possible defective rotor ?).
