bossjohnc Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Possibly just surface rust on the front disks - nothing to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Wooo hang on mate.It could be somthing wrong.Mine started grinding after 600 miles, took it to VW he was telling us it was normal.Kicked off a little and he changed them, discs and pads.Take the car down an empty road do an emergancy stop, this should clean any suffice rust off, if its still noisey, then take it to seat.You can get them changed under warrenty if you shout loud enough.

bossjohnc Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 True enough, although he does say the noise goes away after they've "warmed up" - and it's been raining lots there recently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGTI Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 my arosa discs have always been knackered. i had the rears replaced under warranty cos at 8k they looked like discs after 80k. 2k later they look exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted October 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 right this has convinced me to get new discs and pads , any sujestionslooking for summit grooved , shiny , and look cool behind darker wheels , dont need to give any more performace than standard but if they do , great!
