I have heard conflicting advice about how often brake pads should be changed. Some say every 20,000 miles, others say when they start to make noise. What is the official recommendation for Ford Fiesta owners? And how can I tell when it's time to change my brake pads?
ReplyI recommend checking your brake pads every time you get an oil change. It's a quick and easy way to stay on top of their condition. Additionally, make sure to follow the guidelines in your owner's manual for brake maintenance. Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your brakes.
If you notice your vehicle is taking longer to come to a complete stop or feels shaky when braking, it's definitely time to change your brake pads. Don't wait for them to start making noise. This could mean the pads are completely worn out and damaging your rotors. Play it safe and get them checked as soon as possible.
As a long-time Ford Fiesta owner, I can tell you that the official recommendation from Ford is to change your brake pads every 25,000 miles. However, this number can vary depending on your driving habits and environment. It's important to regularly check your brake pads for wear and tear. If they start to make noise or feel less responsive, it's probably time to replace them.
