right, the g/f has a '98 Polo 1.4CL and the brakes are and always have been, sh1te!

we had them replaced 6-7 months ago at some non-vw place and they've now been replaced 3 times since then coz they keep warping. Whats going on?? She's a really gentle driver, never drives fast - i hardly drive the car either so it ain't me :)

Any ideas? I'm thinking of doing them myself next, just wanted some advice as to what it could be? and if i replace them, where should i go to get new discs/pads? eurocarparts are cheap but arethey any good?

TIA

Sounds like something's bent.

Mine did that on my old MK4...

Went through discs and pads every couple of months :shock:

Turned out it was the hub that was bent

Get it all checked out before spending any more money on discs and pads!
