Everyone -
My Octavia 1.9TDI (T reg - 110hp model - 96000 hard motorway miles) is going to need a new set of disks, both front and rear, and pads to pass it's MOT as the existing ones have a lip the size of the Grand Canyon... braking performance hasn't been affected (yet). Any idea how much a garage will charge to fit them (I use an independant and they're very reasonably priced and do the job well) do you get pattern parts, probably qh or girling (which are vw without the price?) for this vehicle ( = golf, passat, seat?) or is it better to get genuine vw ones??
Googling throws up loads of disk suppliers at reasonable prices but I thought I'd pass it to some of the sages in here....
Also it got its cambelt and idlers replaced after the stock VW waterpump failure at 62000 miles (replaced with a QH item which I've been assured lasts a lot longer than the stock item) should i get this doing at the same time as I don't want my engine munched.... asking it to survive twice is rather a lot...??
Cheers -
