Where I should order brake pads and wheel nuts ?

[edzha90]

Hi there,

I drive VW passat b5 1.9 TDI year 2000

1. Is ebay a good place to order rear brake pads with brake discs? Like - VW Passat B5 1.9 TDi Estate 108 Rear Brake Pads Discs 245mm Solid TRW Sys Kit | eBay

if not what brand you would suggest? I will sell car in summer, so I don't need really expensive brand.


2. Where is the best place to order wheel nuts for steel wheels ? I contacted eurocarparts they are asking 5GBP for one nut, maybe cheaper place?

Buy Pagid brakes and discs it's for your safety until it's sold. Go to a local motor factors and tell him the brand you want and if he doesn't have them he'll get them. You'll get wheel studs from a breaker for nada

Many thanks for your reply.

I will need a rewind tool, so what do you think about this - BRAKE CALIPER PISTON REWIND TOOL Ford Focus KA Fiesta Mondeo VW Passat Polo Seat | eBay

also I found pagid brake pads and discs in ecp.

Will they fit for rear side? discs - http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Vo...1171ecc&000027

and pads - http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Vo...dbc08dc&000036

What do you think about Eicher company for pads and discs, as they are cheaper ?

Thank you for your help!

Thats a good price for the discs and pads well worth the extra few bob. The rewind tool isn't a respected brand you'll get a Laser or Sealey tool for around the same price or borrow one from an Indie? Eicher sucks

I found something like this, but isn't saying anything about that it will fit with VW passat - Sealey Disc Brake Piston Wind-Back Tool with Double Adaptor VS024 | eBay

also do I need any lubricant/oil before I apply new brakes and discs?

You could use a little red grease on the guide pins. That tool will fit your brakes.

Ebay? For brakes? As in the things that stop your car? EBAY? Really?

Good luck

ebay is fine as long as you buy from a reputable company selling known brands. if you just find the cheapest non branded stuff that claims to be made by brembo for a quid, then good luck to you.

I bought Mintex discs and brake pads. It was exactly the same as in eurocarparts or any other store, but 10-15 GBP cheapers.

That's not the best way to bleed the brakes, you need either vacuum, easibleed style or an assistant
