RS4 B7 - Rear Discs and pads

Hi everybody,

Not been on here for such a long time hope you're all well.

Need to change the rear stoppers and having done this a while ago I'm tempted to return to OEM discs and pads.

Anybody have a route to a good outlet (my man at the dealers has moved to Porsche very inconsiderate : D )

Re: Timing chain

I've got a pretty good relationship with the service manager at my dealer and he worked it so he just charged me for the parts. The engine was out and in bits at the time though

Re: Ceramic's pads

No worries fella and on a side note I wouldn't wait until the light comes on just in case it doesn't!!!! My dealer thought I had about 5k left in them before the light would normally come on but the risk of damage was too great for the sake of another 5k of mileage. When in doubt get 'em changed :th...

Re: Ceramic's pads

I got 60k out of mine and wouldn’t say I drive too slowly; I’ve warped 2 sets of steel rears in that time. IIRC they were about £400~£500 including fitting and VAT, my local dealer gives me good discount on parts and labour through the workshop. Hope this helps

Re: Game over.....

Reasonably stable at the moment Paul thanks although Val looks on the internet everyday for somewhere to move too. I’m in the process of installing some pretty trick security stuff at home as I have no doubt they’ll be back at sometime (They’ll wish they hadn’t) I’m in a terrible place Sonny, it’s l...

Re: Game over.....

Thanks Andrew, that’s good to know and I’ll keep you informed when I get it back. Police said it had some wheel rim damage and as I’m the kinda guy that parks in the middle of the road and gets a cab to the curb it was definitely the thieves work. Other than that they said it was ok which isn’t too ...
