- VR V6 Executive
I have just replaced all four rotors and pads on my VR executive, but they just don't seem to be bedding in. I ftted DBA standard rotors and Bendix Stealth pads, but the car just doesn't want to stop. All have been fitted properly and the calipers etc are working properly. I have now done over 220 kilometers over the past three days trying to bed them in, but the brakes are still lousy. I have no emergency stopping power at all. I have removed the front calipers since and cleaned them and gave them a rub with sandpaper but still no better. Three brake companies I spoke to didn't seem surprised that the brakes don't work too good after changing all four brakes, but can only advise me to keep beeding them in. (brake accelerate brake etc).
If they don't come good by the weekend I'll change the pads again for a different brand and see what happens. However, is there any way of telling whether the master cylinder is applying the correct pressure to the wheels? There is no air in the hydraulic line because they don't actually pump up harder when pumping the pedal.
Has anyone else experienced this sort of problem when changing all for wheels at the same time?
