Kraziekatz1 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I've got major juddering under braking. Looks like warped brake disc. These were replaced 8 mths, 10k ago and should still be under their 1 yr warranty from Mr Clutch. Anyone know if warped discs are coveted by the warranty? discs and pads look like they've still got plenty of life in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Have you tried the bedding in procedure first ? (usually gets rid of it) Typically it's just some crap on the disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraziekatz1 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 After 10k? How much more bedded do they need to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Did you do a bed-in procedure at all? As in multiple stops at various speeds at various pressures? 5x 50-30 light pressure 2 min run at speed, no braking 5x 70-40 med pressure 2 min run again 5x 100-50 hard as you can but no ABS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraziekatz1 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Erm, yeah. Might just run it back to Mr Clutch tomorrow and see if they'll cover it under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'd say they wouldnt have to cover it with 10k wear but for the sake of good PR they prob will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 If they fitted a decent brand of disc and you have not cooked them on track then they will not be warped, and you will more than likely find that you have a DTV issue.

Kraziekatz1 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 They said corrosion. Will get them to show me when I collect. Must say thanks to my local garage who recommended trying the warranty route....never would have thought of it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Corrosion ? Cheap discs ? Or does the car stand a lot ? That usually causes corrosion on the rear if the discs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraziekatz1 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 No, car used daily and front brakes only affected. Although vibrations under braking were noticeably worse after it was parked at Gatwick for 2 weeks. They put it down to faulty parts. Either way, new disc and pads fitted so total result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I would say drive around 50 miles just normal (with a hint of caution for the initial few brakes)....eg..don't slam your brakes on and you'll be fine. Prob less but after that you should be able to clamp them on without issue Edited April 29, 2014 by AMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraziekatz1 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 I hope this was the Pug/Civic not the Z! It would cry at Mr Clutch Oh Adam, do you really think I'd take the zed to Mr Clutch? No of course not, it was the Pug. I've been letting the kids hone their mechanical skills on the zed. Bet you can't wait to see it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
