  1. Rear Disc Brakes

    After my recent service I was advised that my rear discs were slightly warped. Been noticing it more now especially slowing down from 60/70mph. Was wondering if anyone on here has changed the rear discs and pads on the MK3 leon? Is it simple enough? Cheers Andy

When this happens, the handbrake also feels like it has somewhat less resistance when pulled. Coincidentally, when this happens, the clutch pedal...

  8. Corrosion on front brake discs

    I've had a Seat Ateca for just over a year (registered April 2017) and noticed a juddering when braking. My local garage had a look and said there was some rust on the discs so I took it to the dealer who confirmed this. I said that this should not have happened after only 15,000 miles so they...

    Ok done a search, and none really match my problem. Not had the car long, it came with TT brakes. The discs and pads where badly needing changed so i put the rubbish brakes down to this. Brand new discs and pads all round still rubbish! They feel not bad when braking from high speed, but...
