Hi,

Car is just coming up to three years old and had its first MOT! on the service the dealers informed me that there was signs of overheating on the rear discs. (Quoted £209 for replacement). The following week they picked up the rear brake pads were worn more than the outer pads mentioned on the advisory) (now quoted £237 for replacement). I was told it was due to 'dirt between the pads and disc'...! Is anyone familiar with the inner break pad wear on the leon mk2. This is my second mk2 and had plenty of break wear left on my 4.5 yr old ex car. So I'm assuming there is a fault with my car. Any info greatly appreciated :)

The n/s outer pad always seems to wear faster on the rears. Sounds like they're talking crap about the dirt on the pads though.
