Title: Rear pad wear
Post by: Rudedog on 28 July 2024, 22:27

Do the rear pads have wear electronic indicators or is it purely keeping an eye on them?

I ask because when I had my yearly service back in March they said I would need rear pads probably in the next few thousand miles - for me this could be 3-6 months - although of course they wanted them booked in straight away.

Looking today it was hard to tell - maybe I had 3-4mm but I don't want to leave them too long - what's the minimum pad thickness we are comfortable with?

When they start to squeal change them, nice and simple  :smiley:

Vw say minimum is 2mm.

Worth knowing the inner pads wear quicker than the outer pads.

Sounds like it's worth getting them changed in the next month or two.
