Had a strange noise coming from rear, when I looked at brakes the discs look horrible, have bought new Pagid disc & pads.

I went for PAGID for disc's and pads, took just over 2 hours to do both sides.
You will need a wind back tool for the caliper piston.

Hi ..new to this site..just found as not so happy with quality of my latest lease car a Skoda Kamiq.
On seeing problems encountered by members with regard to brakes,just wanted to share my experiences. Car broke down with about 1000 miles on clock and was in garage for about 3 days..some kind of electrical problem. During my first 1500 miles or so was aware of juddering on braking from speed from front brakes. Initially left in case brakes just needed bedding in. Problem persisted..so took to dealers ..wondering if it was tracking or wheel balancing. Mechanic tested and stated both front discs were warped and needed replacing. After a bit of too ing and fro ing with Skoda, they eventually agreed to also fit new pads.
Was told at garage that I was lucky car had so few miles on clock as was covered under warranty.
Makes you wonder though about owners having to pay for replacement after say 6 months.
Two previous Octavias were problem free ...not so happy with Kamiq....feel there might be more problems to come.

I 'had a go' at my dealer about this very thing, and pitting, on my first (2019) Kamiq. And had similar, but not anywhere near as bad, with my 2022 one.
Both times they have said it is NOT a service item, and not a fault, even though I showed them numerous photos of the same thing on other cars with low milage.
The rear brakes don't do all that much braking in normal driving, so they will have different wear in places, so I just drag the handbrake at low speed,, Safely.. once a week for a few yards, and that seems to keep them in better condition.
When the time comes, I'll get the discs replaced with better ones.
Skoda just will not accept they are substandard!

Could You share the result of replacement?
Which distance did You cover since get a new discs/pads?
How is it going? How do discs look like now?
I've just had my Skoda Kamiq in for it's 2nd year service, with only 7k on the clock. Now I'm being told that my rear brake pads and discs are red and need replacement due to severe pitting.
I have queried this to be told 'it's the weather' that causes this, not covered under warranty as its general wear on a car!
Hmm, I've had new cars for over 15 years and that's never been an issue after 2 years! I appreciate that these items are needed, but rear before front and after such low miles and careful driving I think not
Annoyed is an understatement as this is a 2 year old car with only 7k on the clock. But reading this feed, I'm guessing this is clearly an issue with the Skoda Kamiq range.
To update this, I put a complaint in about this, and as a goodwill gesture they are going to replace this after discussion with the manufacturer of the brakes.
