fast wearing brake pads - after 2 months

dear Sifus,

after 2 years of getting this new car, recently 3 months back i had just changed a new OEM set of Brake Discs and Brake Pads for front and rear due to excessive wearing.

one month ago, i had changed all 4 pieces of tyres with all balancing and allignment done.

now, yesterday i was at the official service centre, and was advised for my front brake pad balance is 85% while for my rear brake pad the balance is 65%.

both percentage was surprising to me considering the recent changes of all the above.

my driving style and distance are mainly city driving 80% and 20% city highway.... the only long distance i took during this period was a round trip from KL to Kuantan.

kindly advice on the situation.

i also use oem brake pads and discs and they also wear out faster compared to originals. u get what you pay for. but 2 months wear is crazy fast.

which foot you use for brake pedal? did the shop tell you if there's any abnormal wear? like uneven rotor ?

Was wondering why the SC(? or outside) workshop replacing brake discs in a 2 year old car ?

I won't even replace a 2 year old brake pad typically .

While I can't grasp why the rear pad is wearing faster than the front (if both are of similar quality/brand) , I do expect relatively faster wear rate of a new pad and/or new rotor disc than run-in sets .

apparently disc brake habis adi...so it makan into the disc pads....the sound was crazy metal loud when braking....that's y all need to be changed (according to mechanic).....

anyway noobie ma...wat to do...

It appears to me the factory brake disc/pad set is very low quality , IMO any aftermarket disc/pad set can do better than this .

Under this scenario , I won't go near SC for replacement of next set of disc/pad more so if warranty claim is not granted .

Hope your present set is not as bad as factory set .

Btw, what car model is this ?

what model car?
how they measure?

apart from car model, do you also use auto hold?

Peugeot 3008 P84 (2018)

yes, wear n tear item not under warranty, will change outside rather than subject to SC's ridiculous price and waiting period (sometimes).

auto hold as in the button (similar to hand brake)?

yes if that is so.

try not to use auto hold.

auto hold usually uses the rear brake pads more
