Jamesdtm, When the brake warning light go on it is time for a brake service. The dealer is just trying to make $$ and not allowing you the full service life of the brakes currently installed on your Cayenne. Follow the onwers service books to protect yourself...

Your brake warning should come on with about 4mm of brake pad remaining. Ask your dealer for an exact measurement of the pad prior to approving the work.

When I replace parts on customer vehicles, such as brake pads, I always throw the old pads in the box the new brake pads came in, just in case there is ever a question, or someone wants to see the old parts. The car gets picked up, they go in the trash. CYA is my policy.

As a medical professional, I'll second that.

On my 2004CT, just replaced front brakes / rotors -- first time at 76Kmi. Rear brakes are still good. Most of my driving is freeway, and since my friend, pictured to the left, tends to get car sick, I drive like grandma when she's a passenger -- on the long drives to Tahoe. I anticipate red lights / slow traffic, to avoid accelerating and then braking, likely using less energy -- my only contribution to the green cause.

Please identify the dealer

You sure you shouldn't have just gotten a Prius...?



I vote you trade your '04CT to someone who will unleash its inner beast. If you're not changing your pads every 20K, you're not driving it like the P-car it longs to be. Just ask Pops. Personally, I'm totally scared that every piece will fall off on the next accelerative kickdown burst, but that's why I bought this car in the first place - because it can. And should.

Next trip to Tahoe, I'll meet you at the base of the big hill in Folsom. We can slalom up to Placerville side-by-side. Lay the backseats down, pad the sides with pillows, and see if your dog isn't howling with excitement as he sloshes around!

How-ooooooooooohh!!!

OK, someone calculate the shipping for a CT-S from Zilina, Slovakia to Folsom, CA, I wanna be there

my dog actually likes driving fast, but he's way smaller and sits in the passenger seat most of the time

Girls, I'll be happy to join you. Be ready to cry at the constant sight of ugliness that is my P!G's a$$

P.S. My dog likes to drive fast as well. He'll be in the passenger seat and you'll recognize him by his signature sweater

Always liked this commercial.

My brakes tend to last about 40K miles, including fast driving and mountain driving.

Only if you bring the Veyron!

First of all, it's "women" not girls. Show a little respect.

Next, how on earth does your 300-lb fat comrade a$$ have a tiny little toy dog like that?? Are you sure you can't just plop it on the dash like a bobble-head?

As for watching your other a$$, there will be no such engine stress put on my/LTC's next CTT by you or your dog. And keep his pet hair out of our nice heated/cooled perforated leather too. Better not be yellow stains in there anywhere. Or brown (didn't you give Divot a ride once?).

user 83838290

not mine I was just the driver. if I ask the owner, he might do it, he's all for fun I just doubt it will fit into his G-IV...

Divot

Whoa, whoa. Slow down, cowboy.

1.) We are talking about Pops in a brake thread. Pops does not use brakes, ever. The pads will remain in pristine unused new condition all the way to Moscow.

B.) I have to use a baseball bat to fight off overtures for "the ride."

Third.) As if I would ever hop in any seat other than behind the wheel in the PopsMobile.

1. Telling a 300# comrade to show a little respect is not a good idea

2. Pet hair & Divot-stains come with the P!G. Take it or leave it, but only after Louis is done with it

3. Any time you'd like a visual of my 18# dog's teeth (or his huge truck nutz), just ask. And keep in mind, it's a terrier. He doesn't care if you're bigger, stronger, scarier. He feels no pain, he's stubborn as hell and will die making you HURT....
