Hello.
I've been advised to replace my front discs in my 99 B5 Passat (2.8). I do not have any brake warning lights on. How many kms do you think they should be good for (before needing replacement). This car has only used standard brake pads.
Background : I was down at the mechanics about 6 months ago, and he mumbled something about the front discs appearing "thin" and the brake warning light would be coming on very soon. He is a friend of a friend, and I have been a customer for some years. I was surprised at his comments, and basically said, I'll get them replaced when the warning lights come on. I've probably only done a couple of thousand kms since then, and still no warning light. I now need to go visit the mechanic to get this years registration done...
