  1. just got back from brake test they are working fine at the moment the disc's look fairly good. It was reported to them about 2 months after we got the car from new current milage is 19000 not been able to measure the thickness yet but will be doing so. took it for a little drive under normal conditions and the disc's were warm/hot (what i would call normal). At the time i spotted the state of the rear disc's i only had to look over at my octaiva to see the diffrence they said at the time that it wasn't doing enough miles. now it does (job change) and that it was a dsg. At present they done all the work on the brakes under warranty. i've just filled the car with diffrent fuel to see if it was the fuel that was causing the issue with the engine. yes the gearbox is still changing up before 2000 rpm under normal accerlation (if i didn't know it was petrol its changing gear like my A5 TDI auto (2.0l) ). the brake issue has been running through the summer months and hasn't been to the sea. the rust was appearing on the brake surface and not on the edge. i'm going to give a few weeks and keep checking them to the change. if they do need replacing then i will change them with quality items the pads look about 50% worn that could be sooner than later. i'll see what the service manger says about them next week and also what he says about the gearbox. ( the normal driver tells me that before service it change up from 2500 to 3000 rpm and would change down around 1500 rpm.
  2. yes they have either refaced or skimmed the rear disc's 3 times in 13 months the car is only 13 months old according to the dealer the brakes are only warranted for 6 months the service manager was under the impression that the discs had already been replaced when you look at them on the car they look like they have been standing for a while. the car is used everyday the issue with the gearbox has only just started the "master technician " there's nothing wrong with way it is working or that the engine is rough sounding and that the brakes are fine. I am taking it for a independant brake test later on just to see if the brakes were able to pass the MOT (not required for another 2 years), as for the rest i think a call email to skoda uk might be required what do you think
  3. hello new to this forum i am having problems with a 1.0 dsg fabia brakes from new the rear brakes don't appear to be working properly. the dealer has refaced the discs and pads 3 times and still there is nothing wrong. also just come out of the work shop for investergation a on the start/stop and now it changes gear below 2000 rpm and doesn't want to change down till 1100 rpm this is diffrent to what it did before any ideas
