    My Audi A6 Avant 2.0 Ultra 2016 SE Executive that has done just over 100k in just under 5 years, will very soon need brake pads and discs replaced, as well the timing belt.

    I learned from a friend's network that it was suggested to him to use brake pads from Textar or Brembo, and brake discs from Brembo or Pagid. My local garage cannot source these, but they will fit if I provide them. I checked online and it is not very clear if the brake wear sensors and cable are included in the brake pads pack, or they need to be ordered separately? Does one also need to replace the cables? Could anyone elucidate that to me?

    Also, for the timing belt is there a pack that includes all the additional bits and bobs needed on top of the timing belt that I can acquire? The garage told me that they can call the dealer to obtain OEM parts, but they are likely to be more expensive than what they normally provide, and that if I can source them cheaper they could fit it. Can anyone suggest the best course of action by any chance?

    Personally Pagid for ease of availability and decades of dependable use. I have an issue with the 5 year interval, Audi say 150k miles and no time limit which is a figment of VAG UK’s imagination.

    The official advice for my car is 5 years or 140k miles, as confirmed by Audi when I enquired, as it is not specified anywhere in the documentation that the owner receives. Is your issue that 5 years is too long?

    And do I need to change the water pump at the same time as the timing belt? My understanding was that the 2.0 Ultra engine does not need to.

    You mean that Pagid create a lot of dust? My driving is quite leisurely, and my chief concern is good braking for safety, and something that will not cause other bits and bobs to deteriorate, I don't mind dust, although, thinking about it, the pads that were fitted at about 55k miles do seem dustier than the ones the car came with. Don't know what the garage fitted, though..

    Anyone used Textar?

    The website says that this is for the pre-facelift version, mine is facelift. For my car it's just an SFK kit (348440819) or Ina (348440778). So it is not worth going for the OEM version?

    EDIT: My wrong, there is a Dayco unit as well (348440816), but available only for collection, and not in my area.

    I found their website, but where can they be bought from? And do they come with the sensor included? Do I need to buy the cable sensor separately?
