Hi Guys,I have a desel I30 and the factory brake pads are way too Soft. I have been told this is normal only to get 25k out of both front and Rear- I dont think this is right???? Any one else had the same problems???I was going to go aftermarket but dont know.Any help would be great.Cheers,
...I have been told this is normal only to get 25k out of both front and Rear...
...hyundai nailsworth and adrian brian both are saying that is normal for the new body shape...
I've changed front pads on a vehicle that came in for it's first 1000 mile free service, but this was a extreme case as it was a traffic cop car so it just shows how driving styles have a big impact on brake pad wear.

New pads after 1000 miles?Edit: Which Hyundai has a 1000 mile first service?

New pads after 1000 miles?Edit: Which Hyundai has a 1000 mile first service?This was years ago back in the late 70's 80's and it wasn't a Hyundai. in them days the first 1000 mile service was a free one. This was classed as run in period .The first service comprised of oil and filter change and check all levels and a general check on mountings and suspension to make sure nothing as come loose.as there is more likely to metal swath still in the engine and then it was a visual check on suspension and drive train.In todays manufacturing procedure and technology there is no need for this. Service schedule in them days for Jaguar,Rover, Triumph was 1000, 3000, 6000, 9000, 12000 or 1, 3,6,9,12 month period. Please read my post again, I said this was a extreme case of brake pad wear and what your failing to take in, it was a police traffic vehicle and most likely a different driver everyday and them guys won't be pussy footing about in it.hope this clears it upCar in question was a Triumph 2500 tc
I'm not sure why this is specifically something for diesels or the Touring, but i must admit that i have never seen so much brake dust on my wheels in such a short period of time. It may be that there are suppliers delivering soft pads.These days there are so many types of brake pad on the market with as many recipes. Car manufacturers could be making deals on price points over durability (not a gaurantee product).
Sorry Baroudeur, didn't mean to sound stroppy
My wife's Tourer is a Petrol. certainly lots of brake dust. be interesting to see how the pads last (although she only does around 6000 kms a year)
