Hey, thanks for the advice. That really sounds like quite a slog. Do you happen to remember how much you paid for the whole job? Have you had any other problems with your car since then or has everything been running smoothly since the repair? Thank you and best regards!

Hey, no problem, that's what we're here for. The whole thing was actually a bit annoying, but since the repair everything has been running like clockwork! The worn brakes in particular were fixed and I haven't had to go back to the mechanic since. And to your question: The repair of the defective wear indicator cable cost me €75, so the financial loss is really within reasonable limits. See you soon and have a good ride!

Hello, I have a 2014 Skoda Octavia and had a similar problem not too long ago. In my case, it wasn't just the brakes, but I had to have the entire brake system replaced, from the brake pads to the brake discs. It was quite a job, but it was a serious problem and couldn't be put off any longer. Hopefully it's not that bad for you. I would recommend you get the car checked by another garage. Good luck, hopefully it's nothing major!
