Hi,
I left my 2007 Punto Grande in to get the front brake pads replaced.
I watched the work being done and new ones going on. However I was told to keep my distance from cars when braking for the first 50 miles or so as the brake pads are soft
However on braking, it seems that more effort is required then usual to slow the car....as far as I remember the last time the pads were done braking seemed solid and not much pressure applied to the brake.
I just checked the break fluid level and it is at max.
Can anyone tell me if what I am experiencing is right after a replacement of the brake pads, and also the comment of the mechanic saying to keep my distance from cars when braking until the pads wear in
Note this is not a situation where I have the apply the brake pedal to the floor or near the floor for the car to start slowing down
I might just be a little bit paranoid after being told that, and I may just go out to a clear road and do some proper testing to reassure me that the brakes are fine.
Cheers
Larry
