Go to your local parts suppliers and get a price on a mid quality range rotor. Then phone the VW dealer and get a price from them. Sometimes the VW dealers have very good pricing on the brake rotors.
What is the minimum rotor thickness of the front and rear brake rotors on an '03 VW Jetta TDI?
Yes; the Volkswagen Jetta tdi had a thick disk brake in the front end and the rear disk brake is larger in diameter than the front brakes but not as reinforced.
If you are wondering how much brake rotor replacement is going to cost because your car needs a new brake rotor, then the answer is around 200-400 dollars.
Remove the front tire, and set aside. Remove the two brake carrier retaining bolts on the rear of the brake assembly. They're either 17 or 19 mm (if I remember correctly). Once the brake assembly is out of the way, there is only a screw holding the brake rotor in place. Take a large Philips head screwdriver, and simply unscrew it. Remove the rotor. In some cases where the screw is frozen onto the assembly, you may have to use PB BLASTER to remove it, but BE CAREFUL. Thoroughly clean the rotor and brake assemblies with a good brake parts cleaner to remove the lubricant, as brakes and rotors are NOT something that you'd want to be slick.
You probably have a warped rotor(s). Machining or replacement of rotor(s) is necessary to eliminate that.

The brake rotor functions similar to the breaks on a bicycle. Each brake rotor contains a rotor and a brake pad. When the brake is applied, the brake pads squeeze the rotor, causing the wheels to stop.
More than likely you have a warped disc brake rotor. Recommend seeing a mechanic for brake repair or replacement.
More than likely you have a warped rotor, replacement is best.
A brake and rotor replacement for a Chevy Blazer typically costs between $300 and $600 depending on the number of components that need to be replaced. Generally rotors will last the life of the vehicle unless the pads have been allowed to wear excessively.
Probably warped rotor(s). Replacement or machining the rotors will correct that problem.
