not high pitch sound. more like heavy metal sound. And you can feel it a bit on the brake pad during hard braking.

steering ok wor...it goes straight when braking. Doesn't turn left/right.

check ur brake...

I know check brake...I just want to know check for wat. Otherwise those bloody mechanics will charge me a few thousand and still don't get it right. Kena before man!

ur pad kot...

actually... i thk got some sound is normal la. eg. if on a downhill slope, if i press my brakes at just the right amount, i can hear brakepad RUBBING disc sound also coming from the front. like "grrrooookkk". is that what you are experiencing? coz u said it wasn't sharp (high pitched) sound? usually is the brake pads. since u said if brake freely on straight roads dun have swerving to one side, i guess they are biting evenly on both sides liao.

yea yea...it does sound a bit like "grrroookkk"...a short but kinda loud 'grok'. At first I thought it was something wrong with the suspension, coz my suspension is old and probably broken...making little banging noise as you drive even on a straight road.

so, should I change the brake pads? or...something else?

Good morning all .... i am back ... kekeke

show some pics la .. lolx ...

Aeon_Clock, u can just simply bring to a shop and diagnose 1st b4 changing ... its normal to go, ask/check b4 performing any repairs ... maybe check brake pads, ur brake caliper ... check 1st b4 do anything ... if the mech sendiri syok and change for u without u know, u have the rights to call them change back (i doubt this will happen and if u r present ..)

ok, now we getting somewhere liao.
if u press the brake pedal MORE, the sound goes away? if YES, good if NOT... cepat go get it checked (the pads)
only got sound for a short/quick moment only right?
coz the sound is produced when the pad touches the disc but not enough to stop it, hence rub-skip (tak tau nama) happens.
i not expert la, but that's my case. so same advice, get ur pads checked bro. safety reasons.

when the brake pads about to finish off.. it will 'grroookk'.
but i do experience when im using proton brake pad (mintye i think), after few months, it also give out that kinda sound... i dont like it, then change to more expensive ones. i cant remember the names lo.. sorry.. i think it's called bendix or something, and the sound gone

no, the sound only comes when I press MORE (hard braking). If I brake like normal Sunday morning drive...no problem.
I tot it will grok both sides if the brake pads worn out?
btw, using Bosch brake pads here...

good afternoon guys....

hihi

guys, i SOMETIMES get white smoke when i started and warm up the engine in the morning. it happens like once a week (estimate). if ask me about weather, i not too sure la, coz my house on hill side, quite cold also. but if its due to temp, why white smoke dont happen everyday wor?

the white smoke can get quite thick (tebal) but not as bad as people doing decarbonizing la. it usually lasts about 1-2 minutes before it stops.

i checked online, some say water got into the valves and combustion. some say check hose, some say change gasket.
i also blur. how to identify ah? thanks

I get white smoke when starting my car on Mondays...coz I dun use my car on weekends much. It got a little more smoky after I removed the catalytic converter.

eh....come to think of it.... heck yeah, it started only after i have removed my catalytic converter
but how to tell if it's unburnt fuel, or water? coz both produces white smoke rite?
