The dealer should be your first point of call. Then you know what sort of cost to expect, it may suprise you.

I bought some rear pads for my sister's A3 1.8t the other day - £25 all in - not bad at all 169144-ok.gif If they were £80 I probably would've gone elsewhere....

Dealer Parts do actually work out allot cheaper than German and Swedish etc. G&S and Unipart have a habit of 'upping' their quoted MRP prices.

I do find that the so called 'trade factors' have a nasty habbit of making up retail prices. I'm just about to start my 20th year in the trade and speak from experience, believe me!

Always makes me laugh when a punter says, "I've tried everywhere and nowhere stocks it". I always thank them for trying us (the dealer) last......... smirk.gif

Mintex is a good name and £8 is a great price, but like I said £25 for a set of Audi pads in a VAG box.... Well, it's not exactly the national debt, is it?

RAC warranty only cover labour charges of £36 per hour!

So no chance of using the stealer... got it fixed at nationwide autocentres in the end, who deal with RAC warranty claims all the time.

They did a top job, and everything went according to plan.

Nice smile.gif
