Okay TDIClub, GSW front pads are low and the quotes I'm getting are $500-$700! 2 shops are telling me I have to replace the rotors on every single brake change, which seems.. ridiculous. Since when are rotors one time use?? But I'm coming from years of Mk4 ownership so maybe things are just different now. I did my research and I'm getting mixed information.
- Dealer says rotors are "replaced every time on German cars"
- Local indy shop says Mk7 tears up the rotor because of high carbon content, not reusable
- Some forum posts say the rotors are very thin to start with, not enough material for resurfacing to work
- Other forum posts say resurfacing is fine, just have to watch minimum thickness like any other car
