My Volkswagen Golf tdi had to have the rear rotors and brake pads replaced with less than 30,000 miles. The front brakes were still in good shape. The service person noted that brake dust sticks to the sliding parts and causes the brakes to stick and wear. The rear brake pads were totally worn and the rotors scored. At 36,000 mile my car's brakes are making a grinding noises again when the brake pedal is not depressed.
