Disc warped quick?

[Airz182]

Put new disc and pads on girlfriends car about a year ago, but now its got bad brake wobble when pressing the brakes, wiuld you expect to get like nger than a year iut if disc and pads, its a tdi golf and she's hardly a girl racer! So wouldnt expect them to need replacing so soon

What's her commute like? A lot of people brake from 50/60/70+ mph and then sit at a junction / traffic lights with their foot still on the pedal; great way to warp discs.

Assuming the wheel bolts / caliper bolts are all torqued and pads seated. Perhaps they've glazed a bit and need an italian tune up.  

Were they OEM discs and pads?

[Airz182]

Cheers for replie. Her daily driving is probably around 30-40mph. The disc were pagid ones. I did actually try tightening the wheels but they were tight will try caliper bolts and see if that makes any difference.   

[Scottymon]

Yeah, personally, I'd take the wheel/s off and recheck everything, making sure you never fully tighten one bolt (caliper or wheel) fully before the others have been offered into the thread - I'm sure you know this. 

Pagid are more than fine as a brand though, just as good as ATE (standard) imo.

Perhaps she's more of a Girl racer than she lets on and has properly cooked them.

[Airz182]

Haha if thats the case i may have to get her a gti!
Yeah will guve bolts a going over again, then probably have to dip
Into my pocket again and get some New disc

If you bought Pagid from one of the cheap online parts sites (Eurocarparts ETc. . ) then it may not be top quality Pagid. Bit of a con IMHO

seized/stiff caliper piston.

seized/stiff caliper piston.

Is That whats cause the warped disc, or thats what could be causing brake wobble?

[GTI-Rog]

If there's any grit or debris trapped between the hub and the disc at the point of fitting that can also cause the discs to run out. Might be worth checking. Sounds like they need replacing now in any case!

[rich83]

What make were the discs?

[D_Philli_82]

Bought my Pagid from CarParts4Less - warped under a year.... If Pagid are poor on ECP they're prob worse here  Prob give Mtec drilled and grooved discs a go next..

[dazza]

I have the Pagid from CarParts4Less they seem ok. But i don't give them much abuse.

[Airz182]

They were pagid from euro car parts. I knew she wouldn't need nothing fancy for her driving style! Just suprised theve gone so quick.

I've just ordered some Pagid discs for the dog snotter polo from CP4Less; cheap as chips really.
