Does anyone know what the approximative price for all for of them is?
Could not find them on Suncoast
Also what is the average miles you get out of your pads?
I just started to notice some squealing as I brake
13200 miles

 

My salesman mentioned that squealing in the PCCBs is something you're likely to encounter. Shouldn't be a definite indicator on wear on the ceramics, however. Aren't they engineered to last forever? I mean, they're ceramic!!

 

Pepper09tt is talking about the pad not the rotor.

 

Thanks for the heads up, we just added the pads to the site. Compared to other pads, they're pretty cheap. If you need other parts, we will need your VIN number to help.

Here is the link for the pads: Cayenne PCCB Brake Pads

 

Sure,thanks for the link

 

I heard about squealing before w/PCCB but I thought that meant you haven't got them broken in yet or maybe got some substance on them. 13.2K seems extremely low.

 

I have 13,500 on mine and they are dead quiet and perfectly wonderful.

 

Probably just going through a hard compound on the pad. It should go away after a while.

If it was sounding like grinding, then I'd be worried.

 

No,not like grinding at all
Just squealing,which actually reminds me of my 997tts
So,this can happen every now and then I guess
How long are the pccb pads supposed to last on average?
Thanks for the info

 

Well if it makes you feel any better, my Cayenne sounds like hell right now with all the squeaking coming from the front pads! I've had the neighbors turn around and give me this "Is that your new car that is doing that?" look...

Just for reference, I know it's not PCCB's but my CTTS needed new pads after 40k which I thought was great life on them. I was under the assumption that PCCB pads have great life to them, even better then conventional pads but I could be totally off base there.

 

My PCCB has slight squeal when first starting right from cold at low speed but disappear after warm up. Run for only 3000km so I'm sure not because of wearing off.

 

When I sold my CTT with ceramics and it had 38k miles, it went through phases.
squeaked at times, embarrassing a few times, but when examined, perfect, an had 90%+ life left on them I was told. Weren't even broken in, showed no wear really.
I wouldn't be too worried. Normal, do some hard braking or have the shop do some heated pedal driving, It'll clear.

The rotors will last the life of the car, pads should last about 3x normal pads I was told.

 

thanks for the info Jace
Going through phases is how i think of it
Though to be honest,I drove my pepper VERY hard in Europe for about 4000 miles(wot on day one!),so that might have shortened the life span of my pads
I mostly drive at a normal pace now,but noticed the squealing upon returning from Miami(full of crazy people that drive pretty fast and roads are terrible)where I might have exceeded the speed limit a few times,just trying to keep up with traffic
