I've seen loads of reports of R's and GTI PP's having issues with premature wear of rear discs at low mileages / ages. Is this something to do with the rear disc being ventilated and corroding from within ?
I stand to be corrected, but I don't recall half as many issues with the solid rear discs on a standard GTI / GTD etc. ?
How can the rears be 70% worn when they do hardly any work at all, and with the fronts that do all the work hardy worn at all ? When they say worn, is that just a euphemism for "sorry sir, the rear brakes have corroded though but we won't tell you it's because the rear brakes are made from crap materials, we'd rather just tell you they are worn instead, so it looks like you caused the problem not us " ?
