replacing brakes on warrenty

[one_eight_two]

i have just went over 13k miles on my 182, i dont feel like the breaks are even near 100% wood i get them replaced on warrenty? or how long shood they last before me having toi change them my self? thanks!

 

[John185k]

i wouldnt think they would replace them. Wear and tear

 

[one_eight_two]

even if try to blag them? lol

 

[Mike@Rentech]

even if you offer the service manager a nosh I dont recon you will get them on warranty.

 

[one_eight_two]

how much will it cost for me to sort them out? what do i need? i dont no s**t bout cars lol

 

[Nez]

Sure they don't just need a bleed? Having mine done at the 12k service.

 

[one_eight_two]

dont no, lol, what ya mean by bleed? they just dont seem as responsive as they used to be!

 

[bartebk]

mine don't feel as good as they used to at 12k,so I think a order for pads/fluid from fred will be on the cards in the new year

 

[Nez]

Air gets into the fluid.. they run new fluid through this system to get rid of the air (i think)

Mine are really bad... did a brake test the other day.. 80-0 my foot was flat to the floor and they just went flat.. no stopping power.

 

[one_eight_two]

is it just pads i need? how mych they gonna set me back? is it a peice of pi$$ to change over?

 

[TheCake]

Brakes on warrrenty? What you smoking. PMSL.

 

[bartebk]

Pads&fluid I would go for,about £100 for what I'm after,depends what you want,changing pads over easy enough depending what your like with spanners of course

Mine are fine at 30k, you lot must be mean to your brakes lol

[Nez]

I would get them checked. I really hammer mine and there is loads left on the pads, they just need a bleed.

I have done 2 track days on mine too .. pmsl

Yep best to get them checked .. they do it as part of the 12k service anyway .. have you had this done yet ??

 

[Fred@BTM]

Maz have you ACTUALLY checked the brakes, or are you just going off what Renault have told you

one of our customers destroyed the std brakes after only 5K

 

[bartebk]

mine haven't felt to good for about 4k,still stop me,but just seem to have lost their 'bite' and once the're hot not to good.

Yep had them checked by Renault and Tweeks.. backs are ready for replacing soon

Thinking about trying them Mintex ones .. anyone know what they are like ??

 

[bartebk]

Are the standard ones not ok for rear as most of the braking is on the front?

There not very think as stock anyway least there only cheap though. (so long as you on't neeed pads) ds2500's you can get in rears if you want.

 

[Maz]

^^ huh ??

 

[edde]

^^ huh ??

Oops err my typing getting worse.

Meant to say the pads arn't thick as new so even 2mm is still a good protortion of the pads. Least there only cheap to change anyway. You can get DS2500s if you want to on the back for a few quid more.

 

[Maz]

^^ they give off dust though don't they ??

 

[edde]

^^ they give off dust though don't they ??

Yep but you've got them on the front anway.
there no need but for a few extra quid plus since there harder compount will stop rush they arn't bad value.

 

[Fred@BTM]

all brake pads give off dust

 

[Maz]

I know they all do but some more than others right ??

I want something that don't squeal (sp) and give off as little dust as possible..

 

[MOZZalba]

my cup has just turned 3 years old and is on 15K and a wee bit, I replaced the front discs and pads around 13.5k, a few weeks ago with the MOT looming I realised I was gonna need rear discs due to corrosion (cup problem) and I rang renault uk and argued the case. I managed to get rear discs and pads fitted at the local dealers and renault paid 70% which worked out far cheaper than actually doing the job myself.......so it may be worth a ring to reanault uk, although you would need to find the problem you have because if it's just worn pads you can forget it!! but if it's corrosion you may have a case as I managed it.....HTH

lots of dust = good pads

no dust = not as good pads

Lots of dust = wrecks your wheels . .feck that

OE pads don't give of much dust but they seem to do the job

 

[rob172cup]

ive got ds2500 and they are good but a fair bit of dust. i used to have green stuff and i thought they was almost as good as the ds2500 and no where near as much dust
