Serious question about brake discs

[DannyBoyR32]

I've noticed my brake discs on 6 month old car are showing a bit of rust.

Is this normal? I have seen this on others cars but maybe slightly older.

What can I do to prevent it?

mine are risty whenever it rains,i thought this was normal

[DannyBoyR32]

are you saying it's rusty when it rains and then clears up or is rusty because of the rain

it would figure the rain is causing it but my question is what's the end point, where does it all lead

how much is it gonna cost me 

[AlanD]

How can they be rusty in the rain and not in the dry? lol

If their rusty, their rusty .

[DannyBoyR32]

that was my point!!!  :embarassed:

[AlanD]

Are you sure its actually rust and not just looks like rust with all the brake dust and all that jazz thats down there.

[DannyBoyR32]

yeah it might be
it's deffo brown though
the brakes are okay
my point is really, will vw try to wangle some £Â£Ã‚£ out of me in the future
if so, i wanna know now rather than 2-3 years time or whatever

yeah brake discs noramlly start to show "rust" at just the thought of getting wet, this is becuase its exposed metal.

you'll find that you'll get "rust" from just washing the car.

the "rust" disappears after you've driven the car though doesn't it?

[joesgti]

the rust will dissapear once you drive and press the brake, or do you mean on the top of the brakes and not the face?? 

[DannyBoyR32]

it's not the brake itself but the part just inside the alloys

it's all metal...............
