Anyone have change the brake pads before? My bezza reach 70 thousand mileage and have left 20% brake pads.
SC offer me two type of brake pad, perodua ori cost RM 100 over, and the bezza factory brake pad which is supply by Daihatsu cost RM 350.
The Daihatsu brake pad definitely look far more better than the perodua ori, more smooth material like ceramic type and some golden color wire mesh inside.
RM 300? Sure I won’t change it. But this make me want to try find it at any accessories store.
Any one have changed it before or know where can I get it?
Beside the looks of the daihatsu brake pads is there any difference in performance vs the original brake pads???
If u are alone then not so bad.
But if fully loaded then its going to be tough.
The steepest part of genting just switch to lowest gear..
If I could select gear 1, then I would have..
Just had to maintain high rpm cos that's where the power is..
Switching off ac helps too but I didn't think of that..
Lol
Coming down hill switch to 2 gear.
If u open ur air vent and u smell some burning odor , then u know ur brakes is cooking, slow down, ur going too fast..
And using too much brakes when they're too hot aledi..
The sensation will be u stepping on the brakes hard and the car doesn't seem to slow down..
It's called brake fade.
If ur alone then not so bad.
Full load is bad. Go really slow.
I dont think the bezza ecu is that smart ler.. Always wanting to up shift when I went up genting..
If the car has an inclinometer then the ecu can tell from the angle that the car is climbing..
Then the ecu can maintain high rpm to give more power to climb.
But I really don't think there's one..
During that trip, I really missed a manual gearbox. Lol
It's quite an experience but one that I won't repeat again..
I went up twice..
Once full load, once empty.
Both within 2 days cos I didn't have any other car with a bigger engine.
After that, during the next service, I asked to change gearbox oil..
Wow thank you for taking time to type all that really appreciate it. Towards the end it sounded like you don't recommend going up genting with the bezza? lol that bad?
