Usually when they're that low anyway, the brakes feel like crap and I don't feel comfortable leaving them this way, but if you were to leave them to go longer, I'm sure another 6 months or so could be got.Cutting Edge Commercial Performance Tuning I like to replace them this way so there's no chance of getting metal to metal contact. I would estimate that I'm replacing them when the pads are down to around 15-20 %. I use my own car mostly.Īlso, to be fair, the pads I'm replacing aren't all the way finished. She uses it to commute to and from work, shopping etc. Usually the other way around when we go out as a family. I can't say for sure what my wife's driving style is like as I've never been in the Aurion while she's at the wheel. It's a lot of local driving that takes its toll. In a nut shell, the original pads lasted 5 years, 6 months and the following 2 changes at just under 3 years each. They should similar to the above time frame I'm guessing. Third brake pad set (Remsa) April 13th, 2023 Current.
Second brake pad set (Remsa), Aug 2nd, 2020 to April 13th 2023, so pads lasting 2 years and 8 months. (Car is an Oct MY2012, first registered in April following year), and the first 40K not driven by us. Original pads lasting 5 years and 6 months The First brake pad change (Bendix), Oct 14th 2017 to Aug 2nd 2020, lasting 2 years and 10 months. He told me all the euro diesels inject at around that pressure.
He did say that injecting at 30,000psi is a bit of an unknown. He did say the changes that the DP made appeared to not adversely affect the engine. He did tweak it a tad(probably thru one of the settings). I had mine tuned up by turbo Engineering in Melbourne and ray informed me that the DP chip increases injection PSI to gain the increase in performance. I also run UNI Filter and a larger exhaust(beaudesert). I don't work my Prado very hard and the chip does its job well. In standard trim I feel that the prado is a little sluggish at lower RPM, and in my opinion thats where the chip helps the most. I tow a 20' van and it is definitely an improvement. I have a DP chip in my Prado D4D (2008)Auto. Fuel rail pressure? Inlet temperature? Like I said, was just hoping to find someone here with experience in this. I'm not questioning the price, just don't wanna see him stuff it. The local performance diesel workshop has been trying to sell him a "dp chip" for somewhere around $1200.
