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.

[QUOTE=zzc2010;1306946]There’s a brake pad indicator? [emoji55]
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.

"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.carandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic

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
