On my last service I was told my front discs and pads needed to be change soon. That's fine, the car has just done 76,000 miles so I was sort of expecting it some.
I'm quite happy doing the work myself and have done it before the other family cars I've had. Any way has anyone got any recommendations as to which discs and pads to fit, I was thinking Mintex or MTEC.
A4 Avant 177PS S-Line Black Edition 62 plate.
I don't drive like an old git (so I don't want really hard pads) and I don't drive like a loon either (so no, wear them out in 1000 miles and stop on a sixpence).
I've attached a pic of my car data. From my understanding I have 1LT brakes.
Also there seem to several disc diameters out there too! 300mm, 314mm or 345mm.
Next plain, drilled, drilled & grooved? More for looks really
33334
I'm going to replace the caliper carrier bolts and the caliper mounting pins. Any idea's as to the torques.
5NM for the disc retaining screw?
35NM for the caliper pins?
190NM for the caliper carriers?
Any help / opinions greatly appreciated
