The title almost rhymes. Anyway...when the internet fails, turn to FG they say!
Help me out now.
I'm suspecting that front brake discs on my gf's Peugeot 206 are warped. The car vibrates heavily when slowing down from highway speeds. The car had the same problem just over a year ago, but it was fixed by replacing the discs (this heard by her mom, no idea if anything else was changed because I wasn't around then).
I'm not an expert, but it doesn't sound normal to replace discs every year (or under 15k or so), or is it a Peugeot thing? The garage the car has gone to, says that it's a common problem with 206s because the brakes heat up and get splashed with water and then warp..which sounds a bit strange to me. Someone on the internet said it's because braking to a stop and holding the brakes that warps them? Or has it just been shoddy workmanship?
Also, can old pads ruin the new disc? Is it recommended to change the whole set when you are on it like with everything else on cars? I'm suspecting this was not done the last time.
Thanks!
