EBD
EBD limits the brake pressure applied to the rear wheels. When the brakes are applied, the weight of the vehicle transfers forwards, which reduces the ability of the rear wheels to transfer braking effort to the road surface. This can cause the rear wheels to slip and make the vehicle unstable.
EBD uses the anti-lock braking hardware to automatically optimize the pressure of the rear brakes, below the point where anti-lock braking would be invoked. Only the rear axle is under EBD control.


Reading this again I can see that the context of the word "limits" has thrown out my argument Laughing

OK ...so if it's not the gadgetry doing it then what is Confused

Why, when I select the "QUOTE" button doesn't the quoted text appear in a nice box



It won't let you if you are the next poster ( as the question / answer or whatever is right above you )

You can quote once there is someone else in between


Wiggs, thanks for that - lets see if that works. No still not working

It's because you have a tick in front of "Disable BBCode in this post"

Go to your profile and select "Yes" where is says "Always allow BBCode:" Thumbs Up

Discotecha - good stuff well put, but it doesn't alter the fact that it's happening.

As DG says above. What's going on?

Bigger front brakes but more work to do due to apparent forward shift of mass, smaller rear brakes less work to do - this does not equal higher rear brake wear.

If you look through other forums you will find plenty of examples of this happening on other cars, but only modern cars with complex ESP EBD etc.

So, moral of story - keep an eye on your rear brakes they wear out quicker for whatever reason.

Is it not simply a case that the rear pads are much smaller than the fronts and therefore correspondingly have much more work to than the fronts, relative to their respective sizes?

Looking back over posts I have a feeling (but no hard evidence) that problems with the rears are more common. Seized callipers, overheated disks, vibrations, warped disks. All also happen on the front but seemingly less commonly? Is this because the rears actually have to work much harder than we believe they do?
