I just think it looks ugly that there is like 4-5mm wide area of rust in the disc. And if I look other cars in the parking lots...they have shiny discs without rust...in the braking area. Makes me think that are the pads seating properly?

But if you look at the picture i attached...it looks to me that the most inner surface of the rear discs arent getting cleaned by the pads...theres a film of rust near the wheel hub where the disc ends. I think that the whole braking surface should be clear hence why i dont think that the pads touch the whole surface?

Hahaa😄...of course not.

Oops...double post.

I took about 75 ml fluid off from the reservoir to decrease the level just below MAX. Will see if this helps to clean the rear discs fully. Any other ideas?

Ok...hmm i had my brake fluid changed in a garage along with air con and gearbox oil change. We noticed that after we changed the new parts the brake fluid reservoir flooded and now there is fluid over the MAX-marking in the reservoir. Could this be the issue that i have too much brake fluid atm? Should i take some of it off with a syringe to make the fluid level decrease to below MAX?

Hello! I have just bought a Octavia mk3 MY2014 2.0 TDI RS with 6-speed manual. Its driven for about 167000 km now. I changed with my friend who is keen with cars the front brake discs and pads and also the rear brake and pads. The front brakes are 340mm diameter and the rears are 272mm. I have now noticed two weeks after the repair that the rear brake pads don't clean the whole surface of the discs. That makes me think i have the wrong size pads in. When we changed them they installed ok and seemed fine. The PR code for the rear brakes is 1KT in my car. The parts i used in the front and rear are TRW brand. Here are the parts: - Front discs TRW DF6133S - Front pads TRW GDB2114 - Rear discs TRW DF7911 - Rear pads TRW GDB2042 I attach an pic to see the problem. So can any of you fine people here in Briskoda tell me what is the right part number and especially the right size for the rear pads? Dont want to ruin my new discs immediately. The measurements for the TRW GDB2042 rear pads are: - width 104,2 mm - height 51,9 mm - depth 17,5 mm Are these the wrong pads?
