So basically vehicles can stop better and faster - but to do this they cause more friction and get hotter faster which can cause the disc rotors to warp and bend. You can sometimes feel this as a brake shudder or it's like your brakes are 'pulsing'. Excess noise can often be heard also due to 'glazing' that is caused by heat.

The scan tool enables mechanics to check the operation of electronic sensors, components and wiring in your vehicle. This leads to a faster, more accurate diagnosis of a vehicles problem. It's a bit like a heart patient being hooked up to a heart monitor - a doctor can better diagnosis what is happening wi... Wed, 06 Nov 2013 13:14:29 +1300 http://www.autosolutions.co.nz/blog/#post1132
