Welcome to OOF
Forum members will know I'm not the greatest fan of derv cars but I think old Tigger has done well here.
Incidentally what is the difference between a 330D and the 335D as they both share the same 3 litre straight six lump?
Good choice.
The 535d is a twin turbo (one small turbo and one large), whereas the 530d is a variable geometry single turbo.
Incidentally, at one stage the 525d, the 530d, the 540d, and the 550d all used the 3.0d block. The 525d was a down tuned 3.0d.
👍👍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.
.Yeah they certainly won’t believe in Christ there as it’s BC👍🤣Yes, but they need putting back to BC.
They don't believe in Christ.
In that case they can't believe in their Prophet either.
