Title: Rear brake pads
Post by: Primus84 on 04 January 2010, 14:14

What's the price for OEM rear brake pads?

How easy a job is it to replace em?

If I got em done at an indy how much including labour might I be looking at?

Cheers!

Have you CALLED an Indy for their price, instead of asking us lot?  :tongue:

Just after an idea, someone on here must have had em done at some point.

Not had time to sit down and call an indy as yet.

Mine were about £90 for the rear axle (ie both sides changed) done by the local VW stealer. Not too bad as the pads were £27 each pair IIRC. I looked in to doing it myself and there are lots of guides on the net (some linked to from this forum if you do a search) but it needed a special tool to push the piston back in and I'm not that experienced so left it for some who knew what they were doing.
