Re: Front Pads and Disc 2016 GTI Torque settings

So done 150+ miles and the breaks are lots better,. I've returned the discs to euro and got a full refund! Was surprised.
The older discs messed up within 6 months. So hoping I dont get it again in time. But expect it was all from VW saying they sorted the pads when they did not.

Re: Front Pads and Disc 2016 GTI Torque settings

So the judder is still there, I can let go of the steering wheel as I break, car stops straight yet I see the steering wheel wobble as I touch the breaks. It can be felt in the car too. Worse on soft breaking, hard breaking its there just not as noticable.
Getting new oem discs today. Will update.

Re: Front Pads and Disc 2016 GTI Torque settings

Re: Front Pads and Disc 2016 GTI Torque settings

So just get oem discs use same pads, just file down the edges a bit. If the judder is still there after that, I will take it to VW, as its still under extended warranty. Guessing will be the hub. Also read that maybe the drive assistant, may cause it, will try turning off in the cars ui, see if it m...

Re: Front Pads and Disc 2016 GTI Torque settings

Also from tyre wear, the tyres looked like they have been over inflated, yet I've always put what it says in the front, from when I got the car and new tyres. Edges of tyres look fine. Thought I say as ball joint would show funny wear.

I will check if I still get a vibration the joints when I get new discs, if I still get a issue will main dealer it, it's as soon as I touch the breaks the car, peddle and steering wheel vibrates. Worse breaking from high speeds, and I had break kind of fa...

The pads look...
