Hi all.
So, just had my GTS serviced at the dealer and they said my front pads were 100% worn and the front discs were badly ridged so informed me I needed new pads and discs at a cost of circa £2500... There are 25,000 miles on the clock.
I asked them why the sensor had not triggered and the thickness of the front discs. They told me that the pads are close to wearing through to the sensor and the discs were 30.95mm thick. They told me the discs are 33mm thick new and the minimum thickness is 30mm.
A few questions:
1. I was previously under the impression that the discs were 32mm new - can anyone verify this or the dealer's claim?
2. If 32mm is the new disc thickness, can I get away with just pads or do I need to get the discs skimmed first (if I need to get them skimmed I may need new discs anyway as skimming will probably take 0.5mm off).
3. If I can get away with just new pads, do I need to get OEM pads (on the basis that they should wear the same part of the disc as the previous pads) or can I get uprated FD etc pads?
Thanks in advance!
