Audi Brake wear?

Post by gazzab » Sat Mar 11, 2006 3:14 pm

With my M3 and 328, I had to replace the disc's along with the pads, supposedly the disc's are made to wear! But geez it costs an arm and a leg to replace the disc's. What is the situation with Audi?

My B5 covered 65000 miles on the original discs, and two sets of front pads and one set of rear..... and it has never had an easy life :shock: :lol:

Simple 1,

I got about 80,000K's out of the brakes, disc's all round for the 328i and just front disc's for the M3, the main problem is the disc's cost an arm and leg, 320 quid per front disc. Any idea on cost of disc's for B5?
