V50 disc wear ....
V50 2.0D ..My dealer has wipped off the discs saying that they are too worn.
What is the tolerance on wear ..2mm, 3mm ?? I would have thought the calipers compensate for a certain amount. The discs are not scored - just worn by the pads, although the rears went metal to metal for a few days before the service. Any guidance appreciated. For the record, roll bar joint/bushes replaced at same time 50,000 miles. |

Hi I think on modern cars now the discs will wear out the same time as the pads as they are not asbestos,and are a lot harder so the discs will not last as long.

Makes sense !
I've always had a problem with grit/mud getting into the front brakes and making an aweful screeching sound until it clears. I suppose this is something peculiar to the V50 as I've not come across this before. |

disc replacement ratio
as a rule of thumb, replace the discs after the second set of pads.
