Evening,
When I bought my Octavia it had a warped front brake disc/discs, these were replaced with new pagid discs and pads, issue went away completely for about a year, but its just been slowly creeping back now to the point where its very annoying again. Its worst under moderate braking, when you start to brake harder it smooths out.
The two brakes have different wear patterns, but both were installed at the same time, both seem clean, can't see any dirt or objects that shouldn't be there. One disc is perfectly smooth, the other is scored and pitted (obviously the suspect for the problem).
Neither calliper feels seized, both wheels turn about the same, hard to tell with the transmission drag how free they are. When I was last out I measured the temp of the discs and both were sitting around the 45deg mark when I got home so it doesn't appear one is more seized than the other.
I'm just wondering if anyone has anything I can do or check before I replace them again, as the underlying issue is clearly still there. Car is a daily driver, has a very easy life.
