Brake Pads ...
Ok, Brake Pad light came on today.
Rang Audi for replacement cost --> £300 fitted. Kwik Fit --> No real price suggesting it should be around the £100 mark, but making noises about wear sensors may need to be replaced. Any views? |
Avoid Kwik Fit at all costs, had bad experiences with them and brakes in the past.

£300.. They gold plated???
Wear sensors should be integrated in the '8s pads. |
Is that just the fronts or all round?
The last lot of OEM front (D2 S8) pads I had replaced were far from cheap and way over £100 for the parts. That was at Fontain, not sure on the labour as several other jobs were done at the same time. |

D4 front pads are £220-500 from dealer depending on brakes fitted. Some of them come with separate sensor wires( not sensors, just separate connecting wires). Yours must be one of the 2 cheaper options £223 or £231 plus the labour.
Aftermarket pads are under £80 at eurocarparts. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1390324900 |
Try these folk for a price
http://www.murraysdirect.co.uk/ Usually only stock good quality German brands - you'll need to ring as their web site is useless except for contact details! |

Forgot yours was a D4.. so they're possibly be different... My D2 and D3 are integrated.
And yes, VAG don't make pads, but some of the aftermarket (Pagid being an example), aren't as good as OEM quality. |
