  • T5 Rear brake discs price

    G'day all,

    Has anyone had rear brake discs replaced recently for a T5? If so please advise the price of the discs?

    Thanks in advance.

    Around $400 for the material all in ATE. But, you can get Bendix pads (depends where you buy them from they may be more expensive) they have less dust than ATE and last longer too.

      Thanks Transporter. I am trying compare to a dealer price of $250 per disc (OEM part 7h0615601b)! I would have thought $250 for the pair!
      Cheers, Scott

        Yes, you're right. The ATE are the VW OEM, nice discs, don't rust.
        I went with the RDA slotted and they distorted before 20,000km, I will not buy them again, but still have the RDA slotted for the rear that are due on my van as well, so I will just use them, machine the front discs and hope they will be OK after that.

          So it sounds about right at $250 per rear OEM disc? Pads extra.

          Cheers,

            Around $150 or less per disc and approx. $120 for the pads. I can let you know on monday how much exactly.

              Many thanks, I suspect the Dealer has doubled up on the disc price.

                The prices I quoted you aren't recomended retails and the dealer may have different margins than independed workshops. Which is understandable since they have much bigger overheads and more people to pay.

                        Their prices are pretty good, and they run monthly specials.

                          Thanks all for your responses.

                          As it turns out the correct price for rear OEM discs from the Dealer is about $125 per disc plus GST.

                          Front pads; $139.28 plus GST, rear pads $123.53 plus GST.

                          Regards,

                          Scott
