Hi @AVANTE I saw you comprehensive answer on Peugeot 406. So I submit a question and if you could, could you have a look on my post(· 0 replies
) I would like to have your opinion on that. So my obvious choice was Peugeot 406 D9 diesel one. but what i heard was, probability of some one selling it due to considerable issues, and it has hard time of reselling and repairing and spare pats finding and cost may considerably high. Seeking advice on this.
Thank you

Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Question
pissa
Guys, when i run my car for an extended period (e.g. driving long distance, driving here and there without giving it much of a rest) there comes a squealing noise from the brakes. this is a not the high pitched screech noise you get, but more like the noise associated when buses apply brakes. the noise disappears when after an extended rest (e.g. overnight)
but it only comes when i run the car for about 3 hours continuously (it doesnt come on my daily office run). so i am assuming it comes when the brakes get heated up beyond a certain point. i took it to the agents (Toyota, during my regular services) and they said it was due to dust and cleaning will solve it. (the pads where fine, they said). It did help, but i am thinking that it was more due to the brakes being cooled off when being washed since when the car was taken for the next outstation ride the noise was back. the noise is more pronounced when i hit the brakes going down a steep slope..
since this comes only during the long runs and since the agents didnt seem too fussed about it, i tend to ignore the problem... any thoughts on what this could be? should i be worried??
thanks...
P.S. The car is a conventional and not a hybrid
