spikeyboy Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Currently sorting out costing of having new OEM front Disks and pads fitted to my S4. How long should it take roughly to fit by a mechanic ? Just want to see if local garage is coming up with the right lenght of time or are trying to milk it as i will be supplying the parts. They are saying 2 hours. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_tdi Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I would suggest that is a little high to be honest. I do this sort of work myself to save on costs etc and I reckon I could do it in a about 1 hour, 1.5 max. HTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssFour Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 2hrs seems a bit long. 1.5hrs max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 They are quoting the standard service times so are not trying to rip you off, front pad set is 0.9hr and disks are 1.1 so 2hrs total. edit Take it back, looking at the schedule again if you do disks and pads at the same time its quoted as 1.1hrs.

Scotty Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Garage?!?!?! You need to : [1] Purchase the parts from NelsonA4sline (or whatever his username is now that he has an A3!) [2] Contact 4Rings to do the job for you. Check out the review forum. He did exactly this job for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikeyboy Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Scotty - what review forum do i need to look in for 4rings ? Hope im not just having a blonde moment, but cant find a review section on here and no results for a search for 4rings. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssFour Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 OK it was not where you were led to believe so how about Blonde flicks as a compromise......4 Rings here and here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrax Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 What is exactly involved in fitting new disks? Do you need special tools??? Any particular pit falls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 To change the discs... Remove the brake pads, undo the two bolts holding the caliper on, remove grub screw holding the disc on. pull disc off and reassemble reverse order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeyboy Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Thanks Essfour. Strange - i did a search all forums for 4rings and got no results. Still the good news is that it looks like hes based in Dartford which is just down the road from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeyboy Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Just like to say thanks for pointing me towards Dean at 4 rings - spoke to him today and got a price of £55 to fit the front discs and pads I love TSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 He deserves recommendations. He's a good guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeyboy Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Just thought i would say Dean did my brakes last week, top job plus he sorted a few other items out for me. He really is a top guy and will certainly be getting more business from me and i will be pointing friends that have Audi's in his direction. Once again thanks for pointing me in his direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
