Brake pads OEM BMW 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
And the throttle response is super smooth, and great brakes.
Pros: super smooth throttle, great brakes
Vehicle:
BMW
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
I have put 10k miles on it since then. The car has given me no issues whatsoever other than changing the brake pads and sensors.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 16093 km
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
The brakes are nb, I got my car custom ordered (0 miles) and needed to change my brakes @22k miles, my quote was 3k, ended up having my buddy for it for me with 3rd party for like 1.1k
Pros: 3rd party cheaper
Cons: brakes not good
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 22000 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
E65 730D, squeaky brakes and suspension, engine mounts shot, interior semi clean apart from the ashtray
Pros: interior semi clean
Cons: squeaky brakes, suspension
Vehicle:
