General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?
« on: 02 July 2025, 23:13:24 »👍👍How does cruise control affect the life of the pads?It shouldn't unless it's advanced cruise that also slows the car... In which case slowing the car from the rear makes for smoother braking from a passenger comfort perspective as it limits the nose dive effect………….
Well you could be right Al. I just googled VAG ACC rear pad wear and it appears that under very light braking it applies rear bias for the reason that you stated, and uses normal bias for heavier braking……. and pre-sense for those suicidal moments.
Maybe it’s just a VAG thing.or maybe it’s total horse shite.
That's bloody dangerous, as the vehicle has no idea what the road conditions are and could easily spin you if you were on an icy patch
A further search reveals that Volvo’s do the same apparently.
‘ Volvo Adaptive Cruise and Pilot Assist is very brake happy instead of coasting to slow down, and uses primarily rear brakes.’
I don’t know for certain Mark, I’m only going on what the Indy told me and what I’ve read, so it’s not factual on my part and could be wrong information.

That said I found the brake bias on my Altea to be heavily to the rear, so my first thought is that accelerated rear brake wear is either a VW thing or indicative of a fault.

They don't believe in Christ.
In that case they can't believe in their Prophet either.
I’m firmly with Mick and Trump.. these bunch of murdering bastards don’t know what the Fk they’re doing! They need to all go and we start again with a clean sheet

Ignore the incorrect torque figure they quote in the ad, in fact it’s 369lbs ft👍

« on: 24 June 2025, 21:25:44 »Thankyou😎 I really can’t see any way these people can ever fit into a peaceful world 💁🏿♂️Yeah goats, I’d rather eat them than shag them👍 although with sheep its the other way round. the world would be far better off with Iran and its inhabitants transformed into sheet of glass. Just keep the few nice people who live there alive. I’m sure they would rejoice in the crooked cruel prehistoric regime getting annihilated.
Very honest post Ray.
