Greetings all,
Please can anyone tell me the minimum operating thickness of both front and rear discs? (W203 C220 CDI coupe 2002). Interestingly still around 4 mm on the front pads - both pads and front discs replaced 4 years ago at 49000 miles (previous owner). Now 161000 miles. Rear discs and pads replaced 2 years ago - little wear apparent on both. I wonder what effect washing the wheels has on disc wear - a thin film of rust naturally appears on the shiny part of the wet disc until the car is driven again the next day - this is of course steel from the disc!
