Brake pads OEM Audi or OEM Mercedes
Reviews
Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG. Nothing particularly bad but having a German for it's age, essentially a supercar, and close to 200,000km when I sold it, quite a few bits and pieces needed replacing. Mechanically the best car I ever owned though. Just hoses, sensors, bushes, brake disc's and pads that kind of thing.
Pros: Mechanically the best car
Cons: bits and pieces needed replacing
Mileage: 200000 km
I know it’s not a Q7, but I’ve got a 2019 C8 A6 and recently had my read pads replaced by an independent, £275 but that also included my MOT at the same time.
Pros: pads replaced by independent
Vehicle:
Audi A6
In prepping the car for sale they spend $10,000 on \"all 100k maintenance items and known chronic problems,\" including brake pads and rotors
Pros: brake pads replaced
They handle brake fade quite well. Did a run down tail of the dragon and had no issues.
Pros: handle brake fade well
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Paid £420 + £180 fitting for mine front and back on a 2019 Audi A4 by going via Euro Car Parts when the Audi garage quoted £1200!!
Pros: cheaper via Euro Car Parts
Cons: expensive at Audi garage
Vehicle:
Audi A4
I don't like MBs organic brake pads, I went ceramic and have nearly eliminated all brake dust and good stopping power. I do, very much so, love my MB rotors.
Pros: good stopping power, eliminates brake dust
Cons: MB organic pads
If you skipped maintenance on an E-Class it would be the exact same story. Bushungs, stabilization links, brake pads, rotors, etc.
1.5 years ago a client was offered brake pads only with a 1 year warranty, no guarantee against noises or pulsations, or brake pads and rotors together with a 3 year warranty against noises and pulsations. They opted for the 1 year option on their fancy 2017 Audi because the rotors were stupid expensive.
Pros: 1 year warranty offered
Cons: no guarantee against noises
Vehicle:
Audi
MB advisor here, GLC brakes are horrible with noise.
Cons: noisy brakes
We had an W211 and it was awesome, except of course for the whole brake recall fiasco. Thankfully Mercedes eventually sorted that.
Pros: fiasco sorted
Cons: brake recall fiasco
