V6S Brake Disc Issues

[y700suf]

I noticed a squealing from the front brakes of my V6S recently so brought the car into the dealership to get it checked.

I experienced similar problems with my other car (Audi RS4) several years ago. At the time, the garage said the front brake discs were scored and would need to be replaced. I ended up changing the pads to a softer variety and the problem disappeared. Another garage said the disks were perfectly fine.

I wonder if the same overly keen diagnosis is happening here. Difference is, the V6S is still under warranty although the dealership is saying any repair/replacement of disks and pads is not covered under warranty.

So, 3 questions:

1. Anyone else experienced similar problems (a search of the forum suggests brake rust is a problem with the F-Type)?

2. Any experience with getting the repair/replacement done under warranty?

3. Suggestions for what to do in this situation? I'm inclined to just change the pads myself, for instance

Thanks.

Well what's the jaguar garage saying. Lots more detail required. Mileage etc.

[y700suf]

Mileage is 23K.

Front pads are at 10mm, new would be 13mm, so barely 25% worn.

They are quoting c. £200 for de-glazing the rear discs and c. £900 for replacing the front discs.

Not sure what other information would be required to ascertain whether this is a warranty repair/replace?

Well presuming that its on second set of front pads I would question if front disc are fit for purpose. It should not have worn out a set if disks in 23k. That is less than two years of normal driving. And only second service mileage.

Front pads haven't been changed since new.

I run a V6S and noticed on turn in a squealing noise from front disc. Sounded like a stone in the disc.
Dealership took 1 traffic island with me driving to diagnose as rust on the disk lip fouling a suspension member. Sent me a video of it, while I sat in reception. Said it is common. Fixed while in for other warranty work FOC.

Had it’s mot a few days later and asked about the disks, pads and brake performance and was told it was all perfect

Thanks cj10jeeper, although sounds like a slightly different issue?

Did they fix the disc itself or the suspension member (?) impacted by the disc?

Ground the rust off the disk. I believe it was done simply spinning the wheel by hand against a cutting tool aligned on the disc

Apologies for going off topic but GTB - beautiful

When I was a youngster I got a lift to my sister’s wedding with my uncle in his fibreglass one - still love seeing one!

My SVR had grinding noise while turning left at low speed - turned out to be a loose bolt on the brake shield gouging the disc - I believe they ended up replacing both front rotors and pads under warranty - hopefully the technician torqued the bolts up properly
