Brake Disc Life Expectancy

Originally posted by willo@Jul 19 2005, 12:06 PM
I have a 2001 A2 which has just been in for a service at 37000 miles. The dealer has advise that the discs need replacing and I was wondering what the average life expectancy of the A2s discs are. The car is driven mostly on motorways and trunk roads.

Glad to have found these forums, :57:

Well if they need replacing either they are too warped or are too thin to re-face (or both). Either way, I presume this isn't the first time the brakes have been done on this car, and if that is the case, 37k miles is pretty early for a second brake job!
Maybe you should have another mechanic have a look at the car.
