We bought our Picanto 2 months ago, and we really love it. We made 2500 km already and except the rear brake problem we never swore...

About the rear brakes, my dealer told me they'll change the pads, will it be sufficient? In case i'll visit the service on Sat...

We have the rear brake problem too, i'm getting it fixed next Thursday by the dealer.

The dealer said the problem is caused because the discs are too thick, the solution is to skim the discs.

I'm getting it done by the dealer, under warranty, so there won't be a problem with the guarantee. I'm not doing it myself!!

I see, will advise the dealer, hope they'll fix. will you also change the pads?

 

[PicantoSE]

I don't know, the dealer also said the calipers may need greasing if the pads are stiff.

Don't believe them, mines were already greased twice. And nothing. What do you think about the burnt one??? I feel really annoyed cause i can't see the temp...

 

[PicantoSE]

I don't know about that, from what you've said it sounds like something overheated and caught fire. Maybe the wrong fuse rating or a short in the fuse or something.

Still I would expect it to be fixed under warranty.

Of course it will be reparied under the guarentee, but ain't it disgusting to have your car burned altough it's only 2 month old...
