I experienced it before last time when I was washing my first car as a noob, I sprayed the disc and it smoked, I thought it was cool but it warped my disc LOL!
Warping can be caused by any number of reasons though they are generally temprature related. I had no issue's with my brakes until around the 25k mark, when I started to notice a vibration through the steering wheel under brakes. The disc's were machined under warranty, but by about 40k they had started to do this again so Honda replaced both front disc's & put in new front pad's also. As mentioned previously the dealer has not yet given a reason for the warping.Quote:

actually, warping of the stock honda disc is quite a common problem with the euro and thai/us accord..
Euroaccord13, Eurotony and MiSloVic:
Thanks for your answers
With the depressed line on my disc, Maybe I should remove the brake pad to inspect whether if there is any stone or foreign object stuck in there... as that should be the cause of the problem, am I right?
That's a groove in your disc. Mine has that too, and it makes a hell of a noise when braking. I'll get the dealer to take it out and clean out any grit that is caught in the pad.Quote:

You won't need to remove the caliper. You should just be able to slide out the pads & check & see if there is a little rock trapped in the pad (it does not need to be very big) or it could be the audible warning tag. I have not taken the pads out on a euro, but i can't imagine it's very hard.Quote:

It's possible, as I said I have not done any brake work on the euro. Someone must be able to help, I have not even lookedat them yet thankfully, so far the dealer has done it all under warranty. Sorry. :D
I'm so tempted to fix it now... My next service is in November... Long way to go
