I had observed during the end of the recent 4500kms road trip that the brake bite had reduced. Today morning, a week after the trip, I cranked up Zeus. Everything was normal, until it started moving.
Instantly, I heard abrasing noise from the wheels. I was on the driving seat and it was difficult to make out which of the wheels was the source. The sound was more noticeable in reverse gear. The noise faded a bit when brakes were applied. I decided not to drive and take it straight for service. My gut feeling was brake pad must have worn out.
I got a service slot at Aditya Mahindra for the next day at 9AM. Service was booked using Mahindra4You mobile application (M4U). The Service Advisor drove it for 10 feet. He asked the allocated mechanic to check the brake pads. As suspected, the rear brake pads had no/little life left. It’s was time for new ones. It’s a RWD, so I guess, the rear therefore gave up sooner.
The front pads were checked, and it seems they can easily do another 8-10k kms. I will change them during my next 50000kms service. Another issue I observed was the wheel arch cladding on Rear RH side has started deforming even though all clips and brackets are in place and tight. Plastic cladding would have been better for Indian conditions.
Mahindra service experience at Aditya Motors was excellent once again.
