first one: i just noticed, when my car starts up, i can hear a noise comming from the engine bay, not sure what it his, its a little higher pitch than the engine, and it sounds like a plastic or rubber noise... doesn't sound like metal. but right after start up in the cold weather ( indiana... its like 20 or lower right now ) i can hear it... first time was 2 days ago, and ever since i can hear it, just till i give gas for a second or to then its fine ( automatic... not 5-speed ). any ideas.

2nd one: I bought my break pads and rotors about 4 months ago, and put them on about 3 months ago. they work great and i love the way the look behind the stock rims, bling bling! (j/k). any way i started to notice that they are making the loud squeling noise that tells you your pads are getting low. now i didn't expect this with Axxis Ultimates after 3 months of city driving with no hard or long constant breaking. maybe a few were the i had to press a little harder than normal but nothing contastly. its starting to sound like my factory pads with lasted me about a year and 1/2... when i took the factoru units out, they were ~1/4 including the back of the pad. then i put the new axxis pads in!!! they looked 6xs as thick as the used factory ones, how is it they are already gone. ( i also put new rotors on, Cross Drilled and Slotted. ) i talked to a few people on the forums. Bobaab who does autox said he has the same pads but factory rotors. he told me he used the same pads for 3 autox events a another event also and they are still fine...

anyway i hate to make this post any longer otherwise people wont read it.

 

first one just sounds like a belt is getting glazed a little. How many miles do you have? if more than 30K it's about time to get new belts anyway

 

i'm at ~21900.

also have the FCU recall...

 

The brake problem is most likely brake dust. Pull your wheels off and blow out all the dust and dirt.

 

iight, thnx... i got a question for you aswell... is that meth in your avaitor?
