Has anyone got or had a honda car ?
The reason i ask is i've got a civic typr R 2 year old which I bought from a honda dealers 6 months ago it's got 1 year left on the warranty.
Anyway in the owner's manual it says there's a break wear indicators, the first thing what pop into my mind is, oh there must be a light/sound which comes on when your brakes are getting low. Reading a bit more it says ( The front disc brakes on all models have a audible brake wear indicators. ) then it says ( When the brake pads need replacing you will hear a distinctive metallic " screeching " sound when you apply the brakes ).
I got that sound today for the first time, having cars in the past i knew it was the brake pads. So i had a quick look, to my horror the drivers side disc was all scored but the other side was fine.
What I would like to know is can I go back to honda and ask them to replace the disc and maybe the pads as well ( pads are low ) bearing in mind it was the first time I'd heard the screeching as they put it, and only had the car 6 months.
thanks ps forgot to say i can hear the screeching when pulling away more so.
PS mods can you leave it in general discussions please. cheers.
