Cool, where did you get them from?
2019 Macan S, Air Susp, 21 RS Alloys, Pano, Sport Chrono Pack, Lighting Pack, BOSE, Standard seats, Parking Camera, Privacy Glass.
Local family owned garage just charged me £289 for front and back pads. The mechanic looks after another Macan . He said that many of the parts are common across VAG
Why is a shim required if it’s new discs and pads? Should only need a shim if it’s old disks getting new pads, and even then it’s questionable if it’s neededfrankstar123 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 4:10 pm Thanks. Just been on the phone to Teeside Porsche.
£172 for front discs
£192 for front pads
£55.42 for shim
£51.96 for senors
£16 for bolts
£201.98 for rear discs
£177 for rear pads
£55.42 for shim
£51.96 for senors
£6 for bolts
And new bolts needed? Plenty of cars are on the road for 10 or 20 years without getting new bolts.
Parts will definitely be common in VAG. Would be interesting to find the same part priced cheaper for a non Porsche!
I remember needing discs (yes discs) for my 1966 Renault 10 in the mid 80's. I went to a scrap dealer and they were exactly the same ones that were still being fitted to Renault 5's that year!!!!

going the other way now. You can buy a brand new, state of the art 2022 MY Electric Audi Q4 etron and it comes with drum brakes on the rear. What goes around……Nelladrahcir wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:02 pm Parts will definitely be common in VAG. Would be interesting to find the same part priced cheaper for a non Porsche!

Bolts are for the callipers and are stretch bolts that deform when tightened to the correct toque. These should only be used once. Only need replacing when the callipers are removed. Shims are anti-squeal shims that routinely get replaced when pads are changed.
