I am facing since new that in case fo cold weather (colder then 5 Centigrade) the brakes squeel like a pig when justed used. It disappears very quickly.

However what also happens is in cold weather and when extreemly wet (lost of water/rain) on the motorway when not having braked for a while teh brakes just seem not to react at all other then when pushing them with force. Doing so is dangerous as they aftr a while (maybe water disapates from them) really bite again as they shoul dhave done to begin with.

Importer in NL seems to try and send me packing by stating thi sis normal with ceramic barkes and wetness.

ANybody with similar experience on the board here??

I don't have ceramics on mine, I just did not feel I will need it, let alone the price. As I understand ceramic brakes really come to life under extreme/aggressive driving when the rotors and pads are also at very high temps. I can only surmise that the opposite applies too, as you witness during cold temps. I'd like to hear from the others as well
