Not sure if this post belongs here or in the "VY Issues".

My Crewman has done 64500 K's and the warranty runs out next month. The brakes have been pulsing for the last couple of months. I don't drive it hard. I'm getting a couple of other minor issues fixed under warranty next week and the dealer reckons that due to the K's, the brakes won't be covered - says that the pads should have been replaced by now (which they have) and the disks will have to machined at my expense.
What do ya reckon - warranty or not ?

Brake shudder, disc machine. Warranty? I'd say so.

Warranty for brake components ends at 60,000 so unfortunately your just out of luck.
Actually its 60,000 or first set of pads, which you are over the kms and passed the first set of pads

No warranty as they are components that are designed to wear out. Also you have changed the pads so warranty has run out anyway.

sorry to highjack...cobra...do your crewman steering wheel control buttons illuminate at night with the lights on?...and if not, do you know if they can be done, and if it is just a matter of finding a loom, and just plug and play?...

incidentally, my wifes sv6 had the rotors and pads done at 58,000, and we were told that warranty on these goes only to 60,000....

My steering wheel buttons don't illuminate. I believe that it is more trouble than it's worth to achieve this - there aren't enough wires/contacts coming through the sterring wheel.
Contact "Phreddy" on this forum for more info.
