Doughie Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 car being serviced at the mo. They say i need new front disks (which i knew) AND pads. pads are fairly new. Q. Is it necessary to always change pads when stocking new disks on or are Toyota just trying to flog me a set of their pads ? if i leave the current pads on there (Porterfield R4S), how long will it take before they are fully bedded in to the new disk ?

Guest Martin F Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 No way!!!!!!!! If you know the pads are good then tell them to run and jump. It doesn't matter what pads you use with a new disk as long as they are in good condition. I wouldn't think it would take that long for the disks to bed in, probably only a couple 100 miles of varied driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren S Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 I agree with Martin. Can't see any reason why new disks require new pads so sounds like a load of 'cock & bull' to me. Somehow I'm sure it won't be the last time though .... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syed Shah Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 Remember that new discs may squeal a lot while bedding in, but dont think theres a problem, its normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
