Brake pads Mintex 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
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'm a Mintex Red Box fan, I also upgrade to AutoTech drilled/vented rotors since I drive like I stole it. 2009 Jetta driver.
Pros: Mintex Red Box fan
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
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
I replaced both my front brake discs and pads a month ago and have driven about 1075 miles. On the passenger side, one of the grooves has gone but the other remains and I feel like its getting worse although not 100% sure.
Cons: groove getting worse
Vehicle:
Audi TTS
Mileage: 1730 km
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
Unless you thrash your car and don\u2019t care about it, a full brake+tire/alignment service at 30k is wild.
Cons: full service at 30k is wild
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 30000 km
they're Audi pads, with Extra squeek!
Cons: extra squeak
