Brake pads Bendix or OEM Audi
Samme oplevelse havde jeg. Pris for skift af bremser og klodser p\u00e5 A6 2017 for et par \u00e5r siden. Pris hos Audi 8000kr eller dero mkring. Smed p\u00e5 autobutler og fik en pris p\u00e5 2500kr
Pros: billigere pris andetsteds
Cons: dyr pris hos Audi
Vehicle:
Audi A6
If you want to buy the parts yourself and have a mechanic install them, then you cannot go wrong with bendix for your pads and dba for your rotors.
Pros: cannot go wrong
I had a brake job done a few months ago for the A4 with Audi for 1000 EUR. Just got the quote for the same job on the Q7 and it is 2300 EUR.
Pros: rock solid car
Cons: expensive consumables, parts
Vehicle:
Audi A4
I just did the brakes on my Audi. Front was easy, back needed a compression tool to push the piston back and an OBDII module/app to retract the electric brakes. It’s easier than my old Nissan or the Volvo XC90 I had before the Audi.
Pros: easier than Nissan, Volvo
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
They quoted me $8k for standard brakes on my RS5. Bought all the parts myself for $2600 and did it myself ????
Pros: did it myself
Cons: expensive dealer quote
Vehicle:
Audi RS5
As a good example, we were surprised to learn that the brakes were shot at just 33k miles. A quote to replace everything with OEM was insanely expensive... around $6k if I recall correctly.
Pros: premium vibe
Cons: brakes shot at 33k
Vehicle:
Audi SQ7
Mileage: 33000 km
Brake dust- so much brake dust.
Cons: so much brake dust
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Ditching my 2024 SQ5 for something without throttle lag and brakes that you have to press through the floor to engage. Audi says “drives as designed” and nothing they could do so I’m out.
Cons: throttle lag, poor brakes
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
Nissin, akebono, brembo maganda. Pag budget friendly LKC or Hi-Q pwede na. Pass sa bendix
Cons: Pass sa bendix
Had the same experience about the brake pads. Since pudpod na, i asked my brother to buy one kasi i dont know where to buy and it has to be replaced asap. My brother bought a fake bendix. Noise started several months after. As in nakakahiya yung tunog kasi bakal to bakal.
Pros: genuine korean brand
Cons: noise, fake bendix
