What have you done to your P5 today?

[Breeegz]

I recently went through something similar...

Whenever it happened, my sparkplugs needed regapped. I ended up going through new coil packs, sparkplugs and wires. It hasn't happend in a while.

Finally got the brake job done. The original set of Brembo/Hawks finally gave up at 75k. Still were working great. Started hearing the faintest scraping. Both inner front pads ended up being paper thin & the ridge around the edge of the rotor had just started touching the pad a little. Other than that every other pad on the car still had a fat 1/8 inch left. Busted 2 lugs on 1 front hub taking s*** apart (1 lug, 1 lock) but I was not to be denied. Fetched 2 new ones, popped them in then went back with new c/s rotors, kevlar metallic pads, goodridge brake lines, caliper slide lube, syn brk fluid flush & a fresh set of black lugs/locks. All good, driving nice to bed them in so they'll last 75k too.

Happy now? ass!
(kiss)

yes!

driving nice to bed them in so they'll last 75k too.

you drive nice to bed pads in? You're supposed to go very hard on them for brief periods to get them done right, followed by long periods of no braking to let them cool.

 

[Foolish]

What happened? Radio broken?

Nice being the stated bed in procedure as listed on the Baer site for zinc coated rotors with metallic pads. Yes I've done the initial drive it like you stole it make sure everything is installed right no weird noise 60 to 15 stopping & going more then letting them cool thang. Just in the 500 mile before the coating wears off phase. Thanks for your concern.

Fair enough, if the manufacturer says to do it different, do it different. That way, you can sue them instead of me lol
