Had my 4 year old superb 2ltr serviced recently.

Advised by Škoda that I should consider changing brake discs. Wear on pads 20% 

Advised this is a weather issue. 

I feel 4 years old is to early  to have this issue.

Any  other Škoda superb owners have same issue.

A 4 year old MK I Superb?

 

Is this a MK II ?

sorry yes 

Welcome.

 

Many have the issue of being advised about wear.   Not that there is wear, just the advice.    Known as lying and up-selling, risky as owners do not know who to trust.

 

Have your brakes checked or looked at by someone you can trust. Not some barstewards.

My 2014 MK II Superb (65k miles) looking good on the rear but the front disks whilst looking great on the outside look a bit ropey on the inside. (Or so I was told on the last service - will check when I put my winter wheels on hopefully this weekend)

I had an MOT advisory earlier this year, regarding scored disks.

Had them replaced on all 4 corners, plus new pads, and it the difference in stopping power is awesome!

I guess you don't notice the gradual decline day by day.

Sorry. Forgot to mention this is a 2013 Superb 2 Combi 2.0 tdi

My 2014 4x4 Combi had terrible brakes, only done about 38K miles.  Fronts were corroded and badly scored on the backside, rears weren't great.

Replaced all round with Black Diamond 12 groove disks and predator pads, stopping power is enormous now.

The point is that owners need the brakes checked and then honest advice on the need to replace.

 

Servicing of brakes is good, strip and clean pre winter and post winter, like this week or next.

But Main Dealer Servicing does not include Brake Servicing unless you pay for it.

 

Cars might never have wheels off unless someone has Wheels / Tyres changed, that can be 3 or 4 years from the wheels on at the factory, 

get a puncture and the wheels are near impossible to get off.

 

Preventative Servicing & Maintenance is simply clever.  FMDS's do not give that.

OK Winter wheels on today - and yes at 4 1/2 years old 65217 miles the inside of my front disks does indeed look a bit ropey. Oh well - this will be the first ever job needed on this car other than normal servicing.

 

Whilst swapping wheels I also check other things out and protect various things (clean/rust proof wheel arches, grease brake pipes, brush waxoyl on thread ends to try and avoid a situation I had a few years ago getting some suspension bolts undone) - Back on my Conti TS850s.
