Brake pad change yellow indicator is showing

Hi,

Just this weekend the indicator (yellow) started to illiminate for worn brake pads. How long can I drive before it is completely worn down?

I've got 2 weeks of lots of driving ahead of me, only next weekend to change the pads, if it cant wait another 1500km or so.

Car just turned 52.000km [email protected]

Change them there is really not much left when the light is on, I think 1500km would be a risk.

Hi,

Thanks for such a quick reply!

Yeah, I was afraid of that! I'm looking at the different options from Famousfour do you know if the EBC pads is a straight fit from the original ones and any better? looking at changing the disks to EBC when they are worn later.

I suppose a full brembo conversion is quite expensive!?

Often drive around with a trailer and big loads in the car so would be good with some more agressive brakes. [email protected]

I have only used original pads, but they are easy to fit. I think with the Brembo you also need 19" rims, but I may be wrong.

Worth doing the epb adjustment at the same time.

The EPB is the electronic hand brake. You can adjust this yourself, I will see if it is possible to get some instructions posted up.
