Ecological impact of an old vehicle

[Flytox]

Hello Leo Max

... only a few wear parts have been changed eg AV pads every 150000 km.

What is the brand of your plaquettes ??? Or do you brake with the shoe against the tire or on the tar to avoid using the pads?

Some also come to believe that it was in September 11 Saudis ...

I had a car that was a real ruin at 90000 km after experiencing a multitude of breakdowns and consumed a multitude of spare parts, which pissed oil, LDR, brake fluid and even lava fluid -glaces

I think that at this level, and your wallet and the environment would be good of this car! On the other hand with 90 000km on the meter, for once the energy gray compared to the km should not give good results ... [/ quote]

.... Or you brake with the godasse against the tire or on the tar to not use the pads!?

I did it moreeirus times, not in front, but often in the back.

It's just a question of "eco-friendly" driving: braking as little as possible (remembering that each brake stroke is wasted fuel - "it would have been better to take the foot off a little before" you have to say to yourself then, and "use" this kinetic energy).

Of course, it is necessary to brake sometimes ... It also depends if you drive on motorway, in capagne, in town ...

At the back, most cars have drums with pads and not pads and I confirm that it actually lasts in 150000 Km when you go soft. In front, with the pads that take the biggest part of the braking effort, it is rather in 25000 Km if you do not too much mountain, or that mom is not too fast in town!

No advertising. 150000 km for AV pads and at 300000 km the AR pads are still good. The AV and AR disks are original.

100% OK, an example: AV discs changed after a CT were again HS to the next CT! At 90000 km the radiator was still fleeing, it was the 3 th! The cause: a corrosive LDR, an error of ELF it seems.

"Most" ... I was referring to my old Xantia, it is not advertising, it is no longer sold, with records on the back. I persist. It has 350 km, the rear pads have been changed only once. At the front, two or three times only ...

AND it is replacements at one of the banal "all brands" signs found in commercial areas ... So it is not necessarily a question of brand!

After a search on the net, we find everything about the longevity of platelets according to models, driving, terrain etc ... You are in the longest longevity and I in the lowest

I have repeated the classic problem of mono piston calipers with very dissymmetrical wear on the same brake. Stirrup does not return properly after braking, and the pad slightly rubs all the time In addition the disc does not wear out flat and it died in 150000 Km.

No luck ... but it's not classic mono piston calipers it's classic brakes bad design and poor quality, sorry. I kept my last pads, it is a single piston caliper and the wear of the pads is almost equal and uniform on both sides. I will put pictures soon.

I invert platelets at a certain time, it compensates the asymmetrical wear ...
