Dealer cost of front pads

[heliophile]

So in the past the Lookers call centre have mistakenly quoted me the non-Cupra fixed price of £129 for front pads, and the dealer has honoured it. Does anyone know what they should cost from a dealer?

I don’t know about pads alone but my dealer quoted £450 for discs and pads on the front and £350 for discs and pads on the back.

I am thankful everyday that I don’t have Brembo’s

Thanks, me too! Will post whatever price I get quoted back here.

Swapping brake pads is one of the easier car DIY tasks. if you learn to do it yourself you can save a lot of money as the pads themselves are not expensive.

Are the Cupra pads the same as the Golf GTI performance pack / Octavia VRS 340mm set up?

If so I picked a set up from TPS for £65 this week for my Octy.

Non brembo cupra pads cost me £78 for the front from the forum sponsor here. Fitted them myself and the only gotcha is the pushing back of the piston is impeded by the cupra plate on the caliper.

I like my car too much to let myself loose on it! Lookers have again quoted £129 fitted, which I’m sure is not correct, but I’ll take it.

I've just ordered some new CUPRA calliper plates. Did you need to remove them? if so, was it easy? I'm told they just clip on and off by my local dealer

Glad i have paid for maintenance so i can hammer the brakes and tyres and not have to worry

No I left them on and worked around them

On my last Leon I had fitted EBC discs and Ultimax pads. Found them more progressive than the OEM ones.

Those prices sound ok for me actually... thought they may of been a bit more, although i was lucky with my 280, did 38k miles without replacing any pads
