Hi all,

 

the driver's side rear brake looks like this. The brake pad on this side doesn't seem to be making full contact with the disc, the disc shield is also fairly corroded for a 2020 car. Is there a common issue with this or do you know why it may be happening? 

 

The car has only done 14k miles, but since I've had it 3 months I've covered 3k enthusiastic miles, with plenty of braking, including heavy to test them out. They do feel less effective than my octavia and are at least 100% worse than my wife's mk 7.5 golf.

 

I'm under the approved used warranty - would this cover anything 

 

thanks  

 

 

 

 

It’s very common; however your passenger side should look similar, if it doesn’t then that’s not common at all and could be a number of things.

 

The brake dust shield going crappy is common too but a much bigger job than it needs to be in replacing the rears, it’s on my to do list of using something like kororust and some hammerite black paint to go round the edges (done the same on my wife’s fiat 500 rear drums and held up nicely the last 4 years.

I would think the warranty would say this is a wear & tear item. It maybe that the caliper is sticking however to prove this there would need to be an investigation which would probably cost you if found not to be.

 

My rear discs were far worse than yours and mentioned as an advisory on 2 MOT tests but the brake performance was good enough to pass the test on both occasions. I did finally change them along with the pads and they have since been fine.

Still looks bad but not as worse, but judging by the rust on the disc hub I guess the drivers side sees more rain when parked?

 

If I were you I’d change them, if you don’t have vcds etc then you’ll need to buy it or get a garage to do them as the caliper piston has to be electrically retracted.

 

I put brembo discs on my car and OEM pads because that’s the least my local Skoda dealer would do

 

When I do my fronts myself I’ll go brembo discs and ate ceramics

 

The brembo discs are just the basic ones but have a painted coating on the hub part so don’t rust

I have odb eleven, would that be able to wind them back? More than happy to change them myself and have done multiple brakes before 

 

Thanks 

Something like this should do but probably other videos about showing Skoda but should be the same

Sorry for offtopic, interested in front and rear disc size for 2.0 190hp?

All Superbs have:

FWD (yours) 312mm Front and 300mm rear

AWD 340mm Front and 310mm rear

 

Ignore anything that seems to be contradict that as usually motorfactors aren't specific between nuances of models.
