Good idea, better safe than sorry :) and cliff does raise a valid point. I wonder how that will affect the sensor though? 

 

Dunno because I definitely don’t have any brake warning sensor/light flag up. All other dash signs seem to work tho, so it remains a mystery, if I remember I’ll ask garage to see what has been done and get back to you

It is possible that non-sensor pads have been fitted as an economy measure.

That is what I think has happened. As other half looked at them a said they were low and no warning light either 🤨

Definitely worth getting them checked. It's funny because it can work the other way, whereby the sensor flags up about brake pad warning even when the pads are fine.

I’ve brought both.... nearly died with the cost 😂😂

🥃🥃🥃 few  of those to bring me back to life lol, esp when you been used to Peugeot part prices for so long!!

Ive though I’ll just get them change all round, least then I know they’ve been done and when.

Thanks Steve

i haven’t had any brake warning light come on. I’m assuming who ever changed the discs/pads last time would have replaced the wire?! Not sure.

ill get both front and back and see what the garage say.

Hi all

i have an A3 S-Line 2008 2.0TDI 170BHP

need to replace discs and pads all round..... the other half looked at them tonight.

just out of interest does anyone know if the car is meant to flash up the pads are low? 

Like I had a warning light come of when one of my bulbs went but at the moment nothing has flagged to say the pads are low??!

second headache I have is that there are 2 types of front pads how on earth am I to know which mine needs.....

any help be greatly appreciated

I defo plan to ask the question about an independent check.

whats your views on a DSG gearbox?

Thanks Steve

I've seen so many but not had that gut feeling it's right. 

Except for yesterday but when I rang it had gone 😭😭

Hi dan

Hi Steve

Thanks for your message :)

Looking for something around 56,07,57 budget is approx £4k

Ideally a S-Line manual 2.0 might sound fussy but don't really want a sport back.... I see a lot of these about.

prefer a 3door but can cope with 5 if the car is right

either black or grey

as you will probably see ^^^ I'm the worlds fussiest person 😂
