Brake Pad
clarence:
Maybe Latio is using heavy duty brake pads? ;)
detach8:
highly doubt so! the brake discs are smaller than usual for our size and weight car! means the brakes should wear faster?
clarence:
Technically speaking, your brake pads should wear out faster in this instant, plus yours is auto, and not manual transmission, hence lesser engine brake and the brakes will have to work harder.

During my 30k servicing at TC, the mech
changed my belt and brake pads...
That servicing alone cost me close to $450.. :crycry:
They also claimed there's a nail in one of my tyre
and patching job has to be done..

like this, you should go for NPMP, both belt and brake pads are covered, altogether $1k+.
My Latio CVT also 30k now, brake pads still very good, how come yours need to replace?
My last car corolla, brake pads still can tahan 10-20k during 70k service

On a positive note, this proofs that Nissan uses excellent and durable brake pads that can last... probably... till 100,000km. :thumbsup:
But if you want peace of mind, perhaps you can get a 2nd opinion from an outside workshiop like Autosaver.
* Your NPMP package is valid till 50,000km or 2 1/2 yrs, whichever comes first. So even if you go back to Tan Chong again, they will not replace your brake pads for free as your mileage already exceeds 50,000km.

Took up NPMP at 40000km.
Run through the history of servicing since day 1. No brake pads change though.
The service advisor say it is within tolerance guide of 2mm. So no neeed to change.
I guess when the brake make noise den go and change. hopefully it will not cause any damage.
