If you have a nice lip forming around the periphery of the disc then it's time.

256mm diameter discs are 22 mm thick when new, Haynes manual says minimum of 19 mm, but EBC in their catalogue says 20 mm is the minimum.

Most VAG FSIII front discs I've replaced over the years ( VW Golfs & larger engined Polos) have had a wear limit of 20mm ( original 22mm) . The more powerful engined FN3 discs have a wear limit of 22mm ( original 25mm).
