EBC do aftermarket pads too :smiley:

EBC pads are best avoided - some serious issues with quality! :sick:

Does £230 fitted by VW for front and rear sound about right?

Yeah that sounds about right fitted at a dealer but why not save yourself £130 and fit them yourself

It really is worth finding a local VAG place and getting friendly with them. Thats what I have done and its saved me a fortune in labour costs, VW or any dealer of any make just pull everyones pants down with labour cost.
