OK so I think I've reached the conclusion - bugger the ******** I'll do it myself. They say the rears need replacement but as far as I can see/tell there's almost no wear on them.

The fronts however will need replacing soon and I'm pretty confident I can do it myself, even if it takes me a while.

So - the question....I've been told ATE make the OEM parts for Audi for brakes - is that so? If so - I assume they are exactly like for like. Have to say at 42k miles, of which 22 have been motorway under my ownership - the discs haven't lasted that long on the front.

Any suggestions otherwise if ATE is not wise.

I don't want teeth-through-steering wheel bite, rather predictable brakes that I don't have to change in full every could of years.....

Thanks,
dan.

Not too sure about the manufacturers but the job is simple so just identify the parts and it should take you no more than a couple of hours .
Did the fronts and rears on mine no problem , good luck.
