After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.

    My MY16 Passat's brake pad indicator light is on now, what is the typical cost of replacing the front brake pads? I am planning to do it at VW Village.

      Yes, I just knew this too. I am going to sell my car in a couple of weeks, now I have to change it before selling it, ugh. I got quoted for $650 (front pads and rotor), $310 for front pads only. Seems expensive? I was looking at brembo pads and rotor on sparebox for $250. $400 labour seems expensive? Unless VW oem parts cost more.

      Tempted to just do pads since I am going to sell it and just need to get rid of the brake pad light.

              I'd be really surprised if VW will do front brakes for $275 without upselling rotors as well.

              BrakesDirect prices

              312mm rotors:
              DBA plain face rotors $91 each.
              Brembo pads $94. (several other options at similar price)

              230mm rotors:
              DBA plain face rotors $140 ea
              brembo pads $130; DBA pads $110

              I'll fit them for $200. i'm in Erskineville

                Do you own a business / can provide receipt? Btw which rotors for mine?

                  No receipt, sorry. Backyarder these days. Semi-retired mechanic that specialised in brakes and suspension when i was on the tools many years back.

                  "MY16 Passat" doesn't give me much to go on. I'd assume they are 312mm but that would need to be confirmed. You would buy the parts. I would fit them.

                    Hi Brad,
                    Do you still do this?
                    I have a 2017 B8 Passat (comfortline), that's in need of some new pads and rotors (quite rusted). Any recommendations for gear? Ideally rotors that don't get rusty after a wash on the areas where the brakes don't scrape it off.
                    Also wondering what new coloured callipers would cost. Like the aesthetic of it, but would only do it if not super expensive. Also saw covers exists. Is that a terrible idea?
                    Cheers mate,
                    Jez
