I noticed today some wear on the rear discs on our VRS which has covered 8.5K from new. The wear is the same on both disks and you can see and feel the "lip" on the edge - I guess about 1mm.

The front discs are perfect with hardly any noticible wear or scoring.

My car has suffered from the "mooing cow" syndrome (growning rear brakes when reversing) since new - I wonder if this could be related? Has anyone else noticed wear on their rear discs?

PS. Skoda have a fix for the growning brakes - part no. 6x0698998

Can't say mine have much wear on them in the way you describe, and I'm nearing 18k now?

Its normal..

Ive found that the rear discs tend to wear quicker than the fronts.. (due to handbrake+ they dont get used much when driving)

check the wear on the inside of the disc, I had rear calipers stick on mine and it wore out the outer pads on both sides very fast, but hardly touched the inside pads

I've got that too. Not actually changed them over yet but I'm keeping an eye on them.

I'm up to 15,000 miles now (from april!) and can't notice any wear at all (or groaning for that matter..)

Mine (PD100 Comfort) has done 35,000 miles and the rears still look as good as new

Pads are a lot harder than they used to be since asbestos was removed from them, so your disks wear quicker. It depends on the nature of your mileage, more high speed driving will wear the disks quicker, as will driving in dusty/gritty places if it gets into the brakes.

I'm sure Ross can give us an average but I've read a lot recently about vatrious VAG models needing new disks at 30K - much to their owners displeasure. :thumbdwn:
