  1. All Resolved - Thanks for the responses. Skoda UK provided a contribution which just about covered the cost of replacement front discs and pads. Seems to have resolved things for now. Be Interesting to see if this set get more than 10k miles!

  3. Evening all. I'm after some advice regarding the brakes on my 2021 Octavia Hatch 1.5TSI SE First Edition - 17 inch Alloys if anyone can help. I bought this Octavia from a main dealer, not local to home with 1,500 miles on the clock. Apart the usual infotainment problems everyone seems to be encountering, rattling boot and annoying glove box rattles the car had been OK. We have recently begun to notice the brakes juddering fed back through the steering wheel. In town at slow speed less noticeable. On faster roads seems to be getting worse and worse now. The car has still only cover 8,600 miles, Had the car in local main dealer who say the Discs are Blurring as if got excessively hot. All discs are warped. Basically seem to suggest that we've driven the car hard and therefore it's our fault. Brakes were only covered under warranty up to 6,000 miles and therefore they wouldn't replace them under warranty. My worry is I could change the discs tomorrow but I don't think I should have to and secondly will I have to do it again in another 8,000 miles, I bought this car thinking it would be cheaper to run. This car has not been driven hard during our ownership we don't tow anything with it and its not a taxi. No VAG car I've had before have ever needed the brakes changing with such low miles. This is the bit I need some help with... Do the following measurements (from the dealers health check) suggest what the issue maybe as I believe there is some mechanical issue that has caused the discs to warp already. Michelin tyres all round they all seem to be fine at the moment no uneven wear noted: Front Pads - 10mm Remaining. Front Brake Discs - 24.7mm Discs Blurring as if got excessively hot Rear Brake Pads/shoes - Rear Brake Pads 8mm Remaining Rear Brake Disc / Drums - 9.8mm Discs Blurring as if got excessively hot I'm supposed to be driving this car to France in a few weeks so I need to have it sorted. Raised it with Skoda UK and waiting for a response. Cheers in advance Rich
