2006 4.2 tdI rear disk rear pads front pads:questions
need some advice please
called an Audi indie yesterday re. cost of F/R pads only replacement. they said that the rear disks were lipped and would also need to be changed. total cost £780 to me that sounds a lot. i am aware that the 4.2TDi has larger disks and pads. looking at ebay and eurocarparts they have varing sizes. and the process also will need VAGCOM for rear reset. any idea what size ( parts) i need? any idea where a VAGCOm competent garage/indie/person may be able to do it? does it have to be Audi? can a VW garage do it. i hope i dont come across as trying to work to an unrealistically small budget. but £780 is a lot of money esp when i can buy quality parts for approx £350( i presume) I am in Leicestershire many thanks raj

The only way to tell what parts you need is to check the 3 digit PR codes in your build stickers (wheel well, service book)
1LL, 1LK, 1KW etc.. Eurocarparts often lists these in the description. Once you know, you can cross-reference part numbers and find cheaper from motor factors (such as premier factors) on ebay. Eurocarparts discs and pads are not a good price for our cars. Last edited by snapdragon; 26th July 2017 at 12:05 PM. |

Wow, so that's £780 for front pads and rear pads + dics? Does seem expensive to me, I guess the Garage has got to make a profit. But jobs like this you can do yourself with VCDS.
1LL refers to the front discs, 360mm, if you have them you should have 1KW which is 310mm rears.

Mine is 1LL and 1KW.
For my fronts 1LL branded parts start at ~£150 inc. optional fluid, clips, screws and sundries. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391085697984 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231803848030 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311880121080 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351542207260 Rears, I can't find the invoice. For reference, Audi dealer quoted me £1700 to do pads and discs all round at the MOT last month. |
