Need a new set of break pads..cost?

[Steve78]

I need to book my car in to get the breaks sorted out as the front set are squealing like a pig when I apply them hard.

How much will VW charge for a new set & fitting?  Just a approximate ballpark cost will be great 

[MAT ed30]

i paid £30 for mine and fit them myself but should take vw 30min to do them

I'd use this as an opportunity to upgrade my brakes.

Perhaps another time.  I've just spunked £1700 on a watch so it's been an expensive month

Which one did you get? I got a £1500 Rado for my 21st.

Wow, dont think I could bring myself to spend that much on a watch. Im not much of a watch wearer anyway...always texting on my phone so I use that for the time and date 

Wont you benefit from getting some better pads such as green stuff? Theres a thread somewhere listing the best of the best. Will try find it and get back to you.

Just an example. Fixed the quote aswel.

Can’t find the list btw. May just be best to go with the original pads as I have read somewhere that new ones need to be suitable for the discs. So some really good pads may not work well with the standard discs unless someone can recommend some?
