I just got my frontal brake pads changed. Drove from home to

your hand brake/parking brake/e-brake works, right?

>>17765297
Yeah

Describe the weird sound. Also, what the fuck does "the brake went long" mean? Does that mean the pedal dropped to the floor without doing anything? If so, it sounds like it could be an air bubble in your brake fluid. If so, it's possible when they did your brake pads they fucked up and the brakes need to be bled.

Grinding sound I guess

The brake worked but I had to step on it further than usual

Fucking hell.

Stop driving open your hood and look for the little plastic reservoir that should have "brake fluid" printed/embossed/moulded on it or on the cap. It should be full but I have a feeling it isnt.

If it isn't, buy some from a service station and fill it to the maximum line. Being really fucking careful, take it back to the mechanic and tell them to fucking fix it. Avoid that mechanic in the future.

Have a look for brake fluid around your calipers, brake lines etc.

Grinding sound is BAD. That sounds to me like a brake pad isn't seated properly and is caught askew between the caliper piston and the rotor.

As this anon said >>17765337
Take it back to the mechanic and make them fix it.

>>17765361
Sorry for being dumb. It was more like a whistling sound. It's the same?

Anyway, will do when getting out of class.

>>17765376
Whistling and grinding are not at all the same, but when my pads were fucked up against the rotors, they made a "sh sh sh sh sh" sound. Keep in mind we're diagnosing this through the internet and not there in person, so take everything with a grain of salt, but still take it back and have them fix whatever they fucked up. Your pedal shouldn't be going further than usual. If anything, it should be traveling less than you're used to because there should be more brake pad.

>>17765376
Probably more like whining of your rotor against a still slick brake pad that isn't fully engaging because they weren't bled.

Well OP,

Internet diagnosis or not, it defintately sounds like someone dis a shit job, either air in your brake lines, or bleed screws were left untightened, or pads incorrectly installed.

Check your fluid, be careful, take it back

Shit is empty, probably got bitten at some moment during the set up. Waiting for my pops to pick me up and let me tailgate him since is 11 pm and there is no store to buy brake fluid

Thanks guys

Fuck man, i knew it. Drive safe and fucking get stuck into that shitty mechanic.

You dont have 24hr fuel stations in your country?

>>17766239
I'm trying to look for one near, hopefully I can find one

>>17766256
best of luck lad. that's fucked that a mechanic wouldn't fucking refill the brake fluid. Demand a repair and fo' FREEEE

>>17766288
Seriously. Or at least a free bleed to get the brakes running right. There's air in the master cylinder so they will need to be bled.
