Rear brake pads
« 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:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

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.
