Title: New discs and pads
Post by: Edi35 on 21 April 2013, 22:02

Had to have new discs and pads (last week) as one front and rear disc had corroded causing brakes to judder slightly when braking from high speed. Dealer had it in for a couple of days was all done under warranty  :smiley: MK7 smoker as a loan car, nice but boring.  :lipsrsealed:

Edi35,

Can I ask how old your car is and what mileage...?

According to the Factory Warranty brake discs are classed as wear and tear items and carry no warranty...or 6 months / 6,500 miles...depending on which part of the terms and conditions VW quote at the time.

Did they admit to this being a manufacturing defect...?

Who is your dealer...?

Just asking because I was turned down by VW.

Thank you,
Billy

Surely that's got to be from lack of use?

Car is 5 months old and has done 5500 miles so not lack of use. I had noticed that the hubs had corroded, something that had never happened with any of my other GTI's so must have been sub standard.  :undecided:
