Cost of Rear Discs & Pads

[mike07vrs]

I need to repalce my rear discs and pads soon so emailed Skoda for the cost of rear discs and pads, the parts manager came back with £67.25 (including vat and discount), apparently they should cost £90!. It seems overly expensive for the rears, I had thought they'd cost about £40 max. My dad just replaced the rear discs and pads on a 1.2 polo (02 plate) and it only cost him £30 from a local stockist, are the vRS rear brakes the same set up or is the price actually genuine?

Cheers

A Bit more realistic!

You could get them cheaper still!

We changed the brakes on my uncles Allroad on Saturday, Parts sourced from TPS, Fr. pads were Pagids the rears were TRW's!

Seen them earlier, thats what mainly made me think something was up with the Skoda price

Thanks for the quick replies guys, will try my local stockist after work

Jorily has an OEM disc and pad set (by Febi) for £45. Carriage might be another £10 on top though.

Got them coming tomorrow for £32, might be £36 as the supplier is in the process of changing pad stocks, either way its a more reasonable price

Do they have new bearings fitted?

I hope the boxes had the Mintex hologram seal, some really dodgy brake parts parts on Flea Bay

Even hologram stickers can be faked...

[VRS_Pricey]

Yeah they did and I bought off a power seller, can never be to careful on eBay

My uncle bought a full set of discs off ebay 6 months ago, within 3 weeks they were completely ruined! Dont fancy risking it tbh

As long as you do a bit of background work like ring the place ask how long they've been trading, check they have got lots of positive feedback, powerseller you'll be fine. Dad works for the local motorfactors and confirmed mine were genuine!

Which power seller was it? Would be nice to have a more confident basis for dealing with folk/organisations on eBay.

My link was taken from this site via one of our site sponsors pages.

So you needn't worry about quality of parts or whether they are going to disappear

with your cash.

Just bought a set there, Jorily, those are Mk4 disks [probably the same] but are a few quid dearer than the ones that grr666 posted above.

Looking forward to getting these fitted now

The ones on ebay are not O.E.M, they are budget Discs and pads, but still very good.

I've just ordered a set of O.E.M. from you online - not 100% the transaction went through (as the final page wouldn't display) - if not, I'll re-order when I get home from work tonight.
