Help, anyone, please!
My beloved green meanie (2005 MY with no mods and stock throughout) has developed an appetite for OEM Volvo brake discs, 4 at a time!
I have had, with local dealers service managers assistance and "forgetful" and helpful approach to invoicing, some 5 sets in the last 14 months!
They last 2-4 weeks on careful breaking in (no pun intended) and then when back to normal driving (fast A-roads and M-ways but not >75mph as company only pays me govt. approved mileage!), they only last about 6 more weeks before the dreaded thrumming starts every time I hit the middle pedal - it's got to the point where I prefer to use the gears to brake in case I lock it and risk a spin out, yep, they get THAT bad!
Last new set warped after 13 weeks, so we skimmed them, all off the car, at a rally engineers shop. They were then fine for 8 weeks but now, 2 are partially warped again and 1 is needing skimmed or replaced again!!
Anyone, anywhere, any ideas or suggestions - this is the 2nd top-spec Volvo that has done this to me in a row (last was my 850 T5-R) and I am seriously looking at bailing from the "Swedish way of life" in the near future if I can't get a fix on this. they just don't seem capable of dealing with the weight/speed combination.
Please, please, any ideas folks........................
Ta,
MATT
