Thread revival - Sorry
Just had 3 year service & MOT, advisories on rear discs only, pads are fine. I did notice after a year discs were scoring but after research found this was due to to crap OEM parts.
I told them I've never had this problem before, only with electronic handbrake their reply, all cars are different to which I said " not with my previous Golf which were replaced @50k and 7years.
Whilst waiting had a liitle look at demonstrators, not even a GTI and they all showed signs of scoring after probably pitiful miles.
£389 Stealer wants for replacement - Don't think so.
Euro Car parts & Brembos here we come me thinks unless someone has a better option
My 67 plate Performance required new brakes & pads at its 12K miles service (March 2020), pads were 90% worn, discs corroded (they didn’t look great for a few thousand miles before that), the discs were scored similar to other photos posted here and this apparently causes excess pad wear, the dealer had no interest in goodwill, total quote for replacement £429. I waited a few weeks before replacement and I tried the ECP Fit it For Me Service after ordering Brembos, but after two attempts the system failed to work (it may be due to lockdown - ECP cancelled the order & refunded me) the price was £230 fitted.
In the end I had the Brembos fitted at Halfords on a next day service for £300, I’m 1000 miles in now, they seem fine & the disc hub? itself is painted so looks much better than factory. The car has sat around the last two months only doing about 100 miles/week but what I have noticed is far less corrosion on the disc compared to the fronts during wet weather or when standing after washing.
I would never have considered Halfords for the Brembos but in fairness they did a great job, took 2hrs, no fuss at all.
