Featured Replies

Hi guys, new here still, 1st ever skoda also. I have a 09 octavia estate 1.9td on 70k. Just had the dog gaurd fitted and the mechanic said my brake pads are reet low. Time for a new set alround. To be fair I can see they are low. My question is what sort of money should I expect to pay. Tbh I have not had a car for 5 years, been on motorbikes so don't have a clue!! I hate spending money, and hate having to spend more than I should!! Lol

Cheers

Brake are important don't skimp on them.

Are you doing them yourself?

Pads only or disks as well?

DIY fit or paying someone to do it?

Hi guys, thanks for reply's, I got them sorted, got pads, brembo?? Think that's spelt right? From local shop and I was lucky as I work with a lad who taxis in evening and his pal looks after cars for the taxi boys and he fitted them for a good price.

The local part shop ordered the brembo in, but can I ask this, is getting pads for an 09 octavia really this hard?? They had my reg, and it came up computer, and they had pads in stock. BOTH SETS!! Yes 2 different sets for my car. One came with a spring thingy on it, one set without. I was stuck/lost etc etc. here's me, you got my reg you got my car on computer can't you tell what pads I need?? Look in manual in glove box, no answer.. And I have not had a car in years and years, I rode bikes, so very very unknowledgeable/green/thick!! Didn't realise there would be so many options for 1 car? Had to takey car to said friend who told me, but then I ordered the brembos anyway and they fitted so pro ken over... But did you guys come across this ever?
