changing rear pads and discs - easy or pay someone?

[Stitch]

The GTi goes in for an MOT at the end of the month and the rear pads and discs need changing. VW want £229 fitted.

I've had a look at the online guides and it looks ok to do but i've not got my hands dirty for years. Also, where would I get the parts from (TPS won't sell as not trade) so which actual items are the OEM ones on Eurocarparts.

Any help much appreciated!

Hi mate

In terms of pads, I would recomend the Pagid ones - Pagid are a OE manufacturer and the TMD group supply a lot of VAG models from the factory

If you pop your reg online, the rears should be simple to find

And don't forget the 25% Forum discount

Thanks for the heads up!

How do I get the code for the discount on the ECP website??

Thanks

Mine are due too and i was quoted the exact same price.  Might give it a go myself.  any chance of the link to the guide which you were looking at ?

This forum just keeps getting better and better, I had no clue that we got a discount on Euro Car Parts ha ha! 

I need a set of front and rear pads and disks. I have an 05 GTI and after putting in my reg I am confronted with a few choices from Pagid. I was looking at the front disks first but I am confussed as to which ones I need? They are all different thicknesses and stuff, and because it is brakes I am after I want to make sure I get the right ones. 

Sorry to highjack the thread, and thanks in advance.

I'll link them when I get home tonight (they're on my favourites on the laptop)!
