Hi Everyone,
I purchased a 2018 Civic Type R just over a week ago and already I've had to take it to the dealership due to grinding/metallic noise intermittently coming from the calipers/roters. As suspected there were pebbles stuck in between the calipers and rotor. Honda removed them (13 pebbles) for me free of charge this time but said that they will charge me if I come back with the same problem. The helpful tech told me this is a common problem with the Brembo calipers. My issue going forward is that it is going to happen quite frequently. My questions are as follows?
1. Has anyone managed to control this problem, and if so what measures did you take?
2. Where is the best point to jack up the car so I can remove the pebbles myself next time? I was told by the tech the carbon fiber sills are very expensive to replace if I damage them with a jack. I've seen people jacking these cars up from the front, but the tech told me that it's not advisable.
Thanks
