Cheers for the video looks easy apart from the rear bolts but may have a look to see how easy they undo, just need to source some disc, thanks again

 

Steve

another word of warning.... I tried to replace the rear discs and pads on my Superb and it was a complete disaster. I've done it on many cars in the past but this time....the ABS, hill holder, handbrake and the self adjusting pads conspired against me (I'm still not sure if it was one or all of these TBH).

 

I got the old pads and discs off, but the piston rewinding tool wouldn't move the pistons back into the caliper. After hours of faffing around I put the old ones back on to find I had somehow got air into the system, and had to sheepishly take the car to the mechanic to fix my ****-up.

 

I know I'm tempted to ask Skoda garage

It is a straight forward job Any competent garage will be able to do it for you.

You just cant get the purchase necessary to break the multispline they are on really tight when vehicle is jacked up 
You need a combination of extension bars with a good wobbly to get the correct angle on to the head of the bolt or you risk stripping it then in even worse trouble.
 

Thanks again, next question is EGR valve where is it located, how easy is it to clean and anyone fitted a blanking plate

Back to subject
Fitted 4 Rotordisc from eBay for £170 delivered and Black diamond predator pads all round 
An upgrade I wish I done as soon as I got the car (Difference is unbelievable)

Tyres on rear for me as well
 

 

@DEL80Y: still the same feedback?

 

i think this is my first thing which needs to be done to my Superb.

 

i was looking at the same kit.

———>>> ATE front and rear £260 (good reviews regarding my other car)

 

———>>> EBC Turbogroove only a pair £170 (I had them, but the car is automatic, I am speaking about my Astra G Coupe)

 

———>>> Kinetix only front + 4 pads £148

 

———>>> Mintex all 4 - £195

 

 

Yip still great 
So much so I have fitted a couple of the same set up to some Taxis I look after.
They are high carbon content as well so dont show the signs of rusting if left for a week
I can get you the part numbers and supplier I got them from if you wish

Price and links below
Mine are 312 mm front  £99.49

rears 286 £59.49
Contact the supplier with reg just to make sure they will fit your car

Thats a good price for 4 discs and full set of  pads from Zimmerman

@DEL80Y: thank you so much for all your help. Much appreciated. Probably I will try Rotordisc.

 

I will come back with a feedback.
