Im on my second Octy VRS with 8000 miles on the clock & ive noticed this one has terrible brake fade when driving in wet conditions, my previous one didnt have the same problem. I will of course be reporting the fault, I have a theory, perhaps they need bleeding & because of this the pads are retracting away from the disks allowing the discs to be covered with a layer of water, comments please.

Does this happen if you have not touched them for a while.. say on a motorway.. Then start to brake and nothing happens for a second or so?

If this is the case then it is a film of water and salt/crap that needs clearing..

Drilled or grooved disks eliminate this..

OE alternative is ATE Powerdiscs avialable from Euro Car Parts..

cheers
