Default Brake Rotors and Audi Advantage

Hello there,

Have any of you had your brake pads replaced under the maintenance warrantee? Was wondering if they did the rotors too... Looks like the previous owner had the pads done under maintenance (they are new) but the rotors were not turned or replaced.. figures if Audi is paying as that is nt standard practice in my book as the new pads will never seat well.

Appreciate any input..
Ray

Default The new pads will bed in just fine, it'll just take a bit longer.

The only real disadvantage is that pad life is shortened somewhat if the rotor is badly scored.
