In my case, I suspect the rotor was near the point of "ringing" when I put new pads on a couple of years ago and that driving with a stuck caliper took care of the rest. The pads I took off that side at the same time as the ringed rotor, while worn at an angle, still had friction material -- even down where the split happened. ..which reminds me, I still need to install the replacement hose on that side and do something about that caliper. =) ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
