Put new disc and pads on girlfriends car about a year ago, but now its got bad brake wobble when pressing the brakes, wiuld you expect to get like nger than a year iut if disc and pads, its a tdi golf and she's hardly a girl racer! So wouldnt expect them to need replacing so soon

What's her commute like? A lot of people brake from 50/60/70+ mph and then sit at a junction / traffic lights with their foot still on the pedal; great way to warp discs.

Assuming the wheel bolts / caliper bolts are all torqued and pads seated. Perhaps they've glazed a bit and need an italian tune up. :driver: 

Were they OEM discs and pads?

Cheers for replie. Her daily driving is probably around 30-40mph. The disc were pagid ones. I did actually try tightening the wheels but they were tight will try caliper bolts and see if that makes any difference.

Yeah, personally, I'd take the wheel/s off and recheck everything, making sure you never fully tighten one bolt (caliper or wheel) fully before the others have been offered into the thread - I'm sure you know this. 

Pagid are more than fine as a brand though, just as good as ATE (standard) imo.

Perhaps she's more of a Girl racer than she lets on and has properly cooked them. :wink: :happy2:

If you bought Pagid from one of the cheap online parts sites (Eurocarparts ETc. . ) then it may not be top quality Pagid. Bit of a con IMHO  :sick:

If there's any grit or debris trapped between the hub and the disc at the point of fitting that can also cause the discs to run out. Might be worth checking. Sounds like they need replacing now in any case!

I've just ordered some Pagid discs for the dog snotter polo from CP4Less; cheap as chips really.
