Disk replacement
Anyone done the rear disc and pad change yet
I have Vag Com i tried it last year but couldn't get the calipers to go into service mode so gave up at the time they didnt realy need changing but will probably be needing changed this year so anyone know of a step by step guide for the rears

Re: Disk replacement
How urgent is it?
I want to polish up my rear disc bells and fit RS caliper plates, so could knock out another 'How to Guide'. But that wouldn't be until week after next at the earliest.

Re: Disk replacement

The fronts i can do no problem did them on my B7

Re: Disk replacement
Don't worry, the purple helmet polish 'How To Guide' is for the Mumsnet forum.
£1200 to supply/fit pads all around and fit a set of rear discs? If that includes an inspection oil service, it'd be about right.

Re: Disk replacement
I had front discs and pads (and front wipers ...) done at 28000 miles a couple of years ago for £1197 from a dealer.
£1200 for pads all round and rear discs sounds about right on that basis. Obviously, cheaper would be better

Re: Disk replacement
Jeez.
Just checked my last invoice and the local dealership fitted front pads (which I supplied) for £84 +VAT. Pads were purchased from Crewe Audi for £315 inc VAT. Normally I'd have done it myself but as the car was in having brake fluid changed and a service, I thought for £100 it wasn't worth my effort to DIY.

Re: Disk replacement
I thought it was a bit steep considering im supplying the discs my self
But always like to do these myself just need some guidence on the rears due to the electonic handbrake

Re: Disk replacement
got the car serviced yesterday and deiced after going over the figures again i decied i would change the discs front and rear
but was pleasantly surprised buy this https://audicam.audi.co.uk/customer/750 ... 1b6/406445
so i got them to clean up the rear discs and will wait until the pad ware light comes on before changing the discs
this is a real change from Audi as these same discs 2 MOTs ago i was told by a other tech they needed change as they were close to the wear limit
but i knew better as i had calipered the thickness before i took the car for the mot
a happy customer
Thank you Aberdeen Audi

Re: Disk replacement
Interesting/timely post , my car's going into Aberdeen Audi for service, brake fluid change and first MOT later this month.
Car's only done 18,000mls (last 9k by me), at last visit 3months ago for warranty work was given advisory about front discs being scored and pads needing changed, quoted about £1100 for supply+fit front disks/pads, will see what comes back this time.
Warranty runs out at end of the month, deliberated about extending but based on £680 quote (all components)/peace of mind will go ahead, could be pretty costly month if disks/pads have to be changed!!
Not sure if its due to downturn in oil industry and it maybe down to specific individuals but sensing bit of a change in attitude from dealer up here, they've just got a v nice Daytona B9 RS4 in the showroom which will be interesting to see up close, not sure on spec/price but that might give a clue if attitudes are changing!!

If you mention the you're part of the local North East Audi Facebook group you'd get a good discount too.
