Rowan Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hi i have had my lupo gti for only a month now ( still not put my pictures up ) and there is a harsh like scraping noise when brakin which I have percieved to be that the its time for new brake pads. I just wanted to know if the discs will also need replacing or is it fine to just change the pads. Also what are the best pads to buy. Any help much appreciated.I do realise this will seem stupid to most people but im not very mechanically minded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darwin Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) if you have damaged the discs then its best to replace them. but normally just pads are changed until the disc wears itself out, you need to measure the disc thickness using calipers to see if it has worn out. pads have their own indicator groove to see when they need replacing.drum brakes are annoying and dont want to think about them anymore now i have a gti, so be thankful you dont have those.
