Anyone know the cost of rear brake discs from VW?

Recommended Posts

Hi chaps,

 

As above really, I'm getting some work done by a chap at my local car club, I've got the new rear brake pads, and goodridge brake lines...all I need now is rear brake discs and handbrake cables - so anyone know the rough cost from Volkswagen?

 

Cheers,

 

D.

On a VR Discs are £20 Handbrake cables are £10 Wheel bearings are £19 and ABS cages are £9 - all prices plus VAT and you will need 2 of each of those plus about £5 worth of bolts for the carrier and calipers.

 

If you can get trade prices the discs are only £13 each, bearings £14 and handbrake cables £6.50

 

I'd also consider changing the stub axle bolts, dust shield and stone sheild if it's corroded badly.

I paid £23.50 each back in Oct 2007 if that helps.

 

Edit - Steve beat me to it!

If I were back in the UK on leave mate, I would have done - I'm only in Cambridge :)

Brilliant, cheers dude. I'll go and order them from Volkswagen tomorrow. What are stub axle bolts, dust shield and stone shields?!

Bassically you have the beam itself, then the big metal stone sheild, the stub axle and then bolts holding it on then a small cover for the bolts then the disc and bearings push onto this...

 

Depends how far you want to go really...

Ordered the discs and handbrake cables and a oil gasket that they said would be a good idea to replace if I was doing the discs.

 

Volkswagen said they'd never heard of, or changed the dust or stone shield(s) themselves...so I didn't bother. The wheel bearing (part 23 on the screen) was a bunch of bolts including a wheel bearing, but they were 45 Euros per side, so I didn't bother as I'd just spent 120 Euros on other car parts! They're going to fit the discs (and oil gaskets), pads, handbrake cables and goodridge brake hoses and re-do brake fluid for about 160 Euros.
