Just before the second service I had a bit of a wobble coming through the steering wheel under breaking. I was pretty much on 20 thousand miles so I waited a week then reported it when I booked it in. Sure enough the diagnosis was new discs and pads. Now its a bit catch 22 The only way to cure it would have been new discs fair enough but looking at the pads last week they had loads left on them and I cant see the discs almost two years old being so badly worn.
The garage wouldn't help (although they did give me 10% off and did the AC for free AGAIN) as its a wear and tear issue not warranty and the disc were "corroded"
I got the discs back and am going to get a few opinions on them, I also intend to speak to VW service but pissing in the wind springs to mind. It kind of annoys me more because the Mini needed discs and pads at 18k and they said that was normal. Didn't think I would be in the same situation with the Polo still fuel and taxes aside £200 and a set of winters is all its cost me in 2 years so not bad.
New Brakes at 20k?
Re: New Brakes at 20k?
I've just had to have a new earth cable fitted and all earths cleaned at 37 months old at £320. And VW basically said tough sh#t. And that's after saying its a Known problem! so
I wish you luck my friend.

Re: New Brakes at 20k?
I am sure the earth cable is what knackered up a friends Polo now you mention it.
I did get a great deal at VW once had one of the bosses family cars in a Golf just over 3 years old with an engine that sounded like a bag of spanners.
It was the cam followers, probably because there was no oil in the engine which I sorted before VW saw it. £150 to open the Engine plus parts plus fitting and another £150 to put it all back together. I argued low mileage and that if it had happened two months ago they would have paid up. Result £150 all in, its still running well today.
