MY 2002 Jetta TDI just hit 40,000 miles and was in the VW Dealership for not starting. Warranty work was done on the car and then the Surface Manager tells me that not only do the front and rear brake pads need to be changed but the front Rotors need replacing too (since their is slight pulsing).
Being somewhat mechanically inclined, I say, "they don't need to be replaced, only resurfaced." He tells me that VW dealers don't even have the machine to resurface rotors anymore...VW makes the rotors so thin such that if they were resurfaced they would be under the minimum specifications.
Have rotors become disposable items too? Or is the Dealership trying to feed me some bull?
