| BHPian  |  Swift - Brakes Playing Orchestra I own a SWIFT VXI which has clocked 45,000 KMS in Bangalore. Lately the front discs having started making a noise when braking hard, they sound like a scottish bagpipe playing with maximum bass. Have the disc pads worn out ? Anyone has an idea what is the life of Swift Brake pads and how much does a replacement cost ?  Thanks. |

Infractions: 0/1 (10) | Not sure if the petrols and diesels have different brake pads but I got mine replaced on my Vdi for 2.5k today. Don't know what these guys are smoking, even the direct import brake pads from Japan for the baleno cost just 1.2k. Btw my car has done 25k kms. |

| BHPian  | I have got a problem with my swift's brakes and i don't know if this is the right thread to tell this. Then again here goes. I took a new swift 2 weeks back and had no problems with the brakes. But now or a day or two whenever i apply the brakes i feel it is not sufficient enough to stop. I don't get any confidence and i feel the stopping distance have also increased. PLEASE HELP  |

| BHPian  | I have a VDi with ABS and nowadays the rear brakes make a whistling sound whenever I brake slightly hard. Braking slowly and not putting much pressure on the brakes does not produce this sound! anyone has an idea on what the reason could be? |
