Had my pads changed (Volvo service centre) at 30k ish miles, at the main dealer and the discs were fine.
The rest (brake pads), I guess this is OEM but if you go to Sharjah and buy the parts yourself, I am confident you can get much lower prices, especially if you buy aftermarket such as Textar which is a OEM supplier.
What bloody manufacturer is this? For my Volvo XC60 it’s around £330 for front discs and pads main dealer
Our shop we use Zimmerman coated rotors and Textar pads. Napa Euro ADO R90 are also really good for commuter cars.
Textar is a renowned brand for brake pads. I like em. Although weirdly, I find their aftermarket pads to be better than the pads they supply to OEs like BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche.
What brake pad does work but they dust a lot seems to be Textar. Not many comebacks except that the clients complain that they are dirty.
My only problem with it is the turning radius. The brakes aren't what they should be IMO for triple digit speeds but it is rare I drove at such speed being located in the USA.
I haven't done VW brakes in a while, but I usually use Textar pads on my BMW and Mini. They are OE supplier for most of the BMW brakes, but they do make a lot of dust.
Volvos seem to eat brakes. My xc60 is horrible on brakes.
Textar pads are OEM I believe. My advice is just avoid brembo pads. Mine create so much dust my wheels look awful a day after being cleaned
