I have noticed my car brakes squealing, and I know that I need new pads. I only had the noise for two days now. I can,t get them fixed until two weeks from now maybe a week an a half. Will the brakes last up until I can repair them or am I in danger. They are only squealing not to the grinding stage. Also how long until they start grinding.

every car is different, if you have a squeale it could be the early brake warning tab, which is a small peice of metal that hits the rotor, in that case you have a few weeks or more before damaging a rotor. however it coulod already be steal hitting rotor. seeing that it just started you will probably get lucky.

With out seeing them no one can answer that question. But think long a hard about the driving your going to do because they could fail at any time . Plus your only costing yourself more money. If it starts grinding that means your going to buy rotors also. They can range from 60 bucks each to over 200 bucks depending on your car.Fix them now not later if not for you then for me as I do not want you coming down the road towards me with no f---kin brakes

skinny products of timber (to guard the pistons and the decrease back of the calipers), pipe wrench (G-clamps, welding length mole wrench must be substituted), tender stress. i do not imagine the ABS will influence this without the ignition being switched on – yet you does not opt for to attempt this and hit upon you've knackered a sensor or the ABS gadget – and, provided that brakes are somewhat major, you should opt for to get suggestion from a BMW mechanic.

when the pad runs out of material it rubs the metal part on the rotor, causing rotor damage.
the brakes will still work even without material to stop it with but it will make the "replace brakes, be happy" to "replace brakes, change/resurface rotor, be moneyless"

that all depends on how far you going to be driving it and how rough you ar eon the brakes. if its just the chirpers you got a little while to go if you take it easy and don;t ride the brakes

Try not to drive too much till you can get them fixed. Just take it easy.

If you have bad brakes on your car, why even consider driving it? You put yourself, your passengers and the general public at risk. Please get them fixed.
