As I am a mechanical idiot so could somebody please give me some words of wisdom, both my rear discs as they are heavily scored, pitted and the front face seems to be falling off In areas after only 16k miles?
The pads (according to the AA man Skoda sent out - pressing that button works) have between 2-3k worth of miles on them And it's safe to drive. There has been no metal to metal contact.
I think others here have also had issues with read pads and disks before so anyone who has, could you let me know what the resolution was. I have been told it's safe to drive but I don't think it's worth a risk as it's making a hell of a racket when braking. I think I saw that there was supposed to be a bad batch of discs or something, please point me to that information if it exists.
I have spoken to Skoda UK Who did as expected quoted the warranty only covering first 6 months, wear and tear etc. It's being reviewed higher up their food chain at the moment but I don't have mush hope.
The car is in at the dealer on Friday for inspection (they decided not to charge me for this.... generous....not) and I am guessing there will be the same not under warranty discussion but I am of the opinion that rear disks and brakes are good fir hell of allot more miles that 16k, may last Kodiaq was over 40k and no sign of them disintegrating like this.
Price originally quoted was £359.73 to replace but reduced to £280 as I'm a valued customer. I honestly think this is an acceptable wear and tear, I can also get them fitted for nearly 50% of that cost and why would I want their discs and pads used anyway as I am convinced they are crap quality.
Not happy to be fair.
