Hi and sorry for the late reply. my internet went missing and needed replacing. bit like my brake pad. I took it to bits and as i thought. 3 brake pads were present and 1 must have disintegrated. the backing was rusty to confirm the pic above. which created a few mil of space for the piston to then move out hence the pedal hitting the floor and the opposite side locking up, VW pads!. i can post a pic when i find out how., prob photo bucket. p.s tried to join tonight. i have no pay pal. is any other method of payment available thx craig

This is shocking mind... mine have vw on them. Full dealer history. Its something ppl shud be aware of. Cos if there was anything in front of me it would have been game over....!

than pete, Not yet mate. I have a nissan micra to use as a second car. Im taking the wheels off tomorrow morning. ill take some pics and report back. After reading the link i posted I'm sure this is gonna be the case. More common than i first thought!

Hello every1. Thought I would bring something to every1s attention. Tonight i was driving my vr6 home from work. Came off the A19 at 70mph of course. Entered the next housing estate to where i live at 30mph. Tapped the brakes to slow down for the oncoming chicane, and pedal hit the floor...! some or 1 of the wheels locked up and it skidded out of control for what felt like 5-7 seconds before stopping.....! the brake pedal felt normal when i let it off and pressed it again as i pulled over... when i stopped shaking. lol. i drove it home and googled this. http://www.passatworld.com/forums/68-b
