Hi,

Had new set of discs and pads fitted in December last year and in last week or so I've noticed both front discs have like a scorched line along them.  Anyone could shine any light on this please?

Discs and pads are ATE brand from Auto Doc

Possibly some binding on the front brake pads/calliper's? Have you checked front hubs for excess heat after a drive?

Few times they got stinking hot only by just driving around, then took it for a hoon and it went away. Now it's back. Pads are ATE ceramic if it makes difference...

Sticking calipers.  They'll need a clean up and regrease

Yeah sounds like binding causing mild glazing. Pads out, give both (pads and discs) a scrub with brake cleaner, go for a spirited drive. If not too glazed then that should in theory clear it up. 

These cars have a pad drying feature that adds some pressure to the pads to warm them and keep them dry. I'm not sure if this system is always active or only when wet (wipers going). If this is set to maximum that could explain the issue.

Check they were fitted the correct way as they’re directional pads too

I guess they haven't done that when they replaced the lot 6 months ago 🤔

I had no idea there was such a thing 👀 i guess I've learned something new... car is braking really well, no juddering, wheels are not getting hot or anything no squeal just this ... it's going to mechanic on Tuesday so hopefully will get sorted... thank you for advice 🙏🏻
