What year and model is it? If it's more than 3 years old Audi have advertised fixed prices on pads and discs - for a 2.0TDI the front disc/pads are £299 fitted which I don't think is bad. If you put your reg number in on service section of the Audi website it should give you a price. Alternatively find yourself a good independent - there a many advertised on this site, who should be cheaper still.

Definitely eligible for fixed price servicing Fixed price services. Also remember if you get a written quote from a local independent using genuine Audi parts then Audi dealers will match the price

I typed it wrong. Car was registered back in January 2014

Id suggest you ask the dealer why the price halves in 6 months time... How many miles has it done? When I changed my last a6 in March it had done 54k miles and there was no need for discs and pads. Has the wear warning light come on?

New discs on a 2 year old car?
I have original discs on my nearly 10 year old car. They need replacing soon. I can get TRW (OE VAG) discs and pads for under £100.

Light came on a week ago

I was told fronts are 95% worn and rears 65%

Car has 78k miles, don't know if they were changed before or not. Car has automatic transmission

95% worn pads. Ask them for exact disc measurements.

A rowdy mentioned, I would be asking on what basis they need replacing. Its easy to say they need changing possibly because of a lip on the discs, but if they arent worn out, or close to being, it'll only take a bit longer to bed-in the new pads.
