I am sorry Dave, it does not matter one iota whether you prefer Chinese Lesbians to the European type. You can still only wear 6 inch heels when out on a date with either. Hope this helps.

What pads are you using?

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

TC your mandarin needs looking at....

Was just explaining the warranty procedure.....

Allegedly the "Pagid" de-icer they sell isn't up to much either....

Think we'll have this branding arrangement for another 18 months yet

Back on topic.....  As the good doctor says what pads are you using?

[xjay1337]

I very much doubt it's the heat, have you checked your pistons to ensure they are free moving and not sticky?
Did you replace the pads at the same time?

Standard OE brake discs are the best and then some quality pads and fluid on top of that.

[rich83]

Im not sure what discs mine are (daveb will be able to tell you). They are drilled and they have had tons of abuse on the road... and they have worn perfectly, no warping.

I presume the ones bought were cheapo discs... ?

[Hedge]

Go to VW/Audi and buy the OEM discs.

I currently have some drilled and grooved discs that DaveB supplied to the original owner of my brakes and with new pads and a slight skim have now lasted the best part of 2 years.

I know Jim @ JKM uses OEM discs on track just with a change of pads to something more exotic.

Yes they weigh the same as a small moon but they are more than capable of with standing some abuse.

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Generally they would have been Bremtech - green black box.

OEM would work also but only available plain discs of course.

I've had trouble with 2 sets of ECP "pagid" discs and pads on my daily Bora TDI now, and won't be going near them again. Not sure if its warped discs or pad deposits causing bad vibration but I should have learnt the first time 

[xjay1337]

If you really want something that's reasonably priced and work well, I've used M-tec brakes before, they provide discs, you can either have them plain, drilled, grooved, drilled AND grooved or slotted. Plus you can get some pretty funky coatings as well in terms of a black or silver coating, to prevent rust.

I think it's around £125 delivered for a set of pads with a coating. Not bad really, worked well on my old 280mm setup.. arguably under a lot more stress than my 345s.

Nothing wrong with pagid infact If you compare the Pagid pad's to your OEM pads there exactly the same with all the same numbers on! What does that tell you?

Did you clean the hubs up before putting the new disk on?
Did you give them chance to bed in?
Are your sliders free?
 

[vag12]

So someone's saying the pagid parts and OEM is the same with part numbers is that correct? And am using brembo sport pads and bought the discs at the same time, am sure the discs are the problem being cheap as I thought these were the OEM replacemts anyway.
So now I need to to get a proper good set where to?

Whilst Pagid branded items did give some reassurance of oem equivalent quality a few years back sadly nowadays discs / pads via ECP are generic Chinese tat dressed up and sold under the Pagid brand name to which ECP have the sole rights to in the UK, as DaveB has already said they use the Pagid name on air freshener and screenwash too..

I've had juddering/fade issues with a set of EPC 'Pagid' discs for my S3 setup as have many others on here, before I threw them in the bin I googled the foundry casting marks on the discs and found they were proudly made in china.. No such problems with my 2 subsequent sets of OE discs via the dealer and only £106 inc vat a pair via TPS

Well that's excellent I will be getting my next set from dealers, other them OEM are there any updated options out there slotted/drilled and where to get them from?
