Hello everyone,
I just bought an A3(8p) 2012, 2.0TDI hatchback 3door Manual 6speed and is a lovely car, but I have to do some work on it because I will use it mainly in motorway soonish and needs to be fixed.
At the moment I have to change both front brake discs because they are rust and also I will take the chance to replace the brake pads. (brand recommendation? Brembo, Mintex, Bosch, EBC and where can I find the best prices?)
Also in the MOT test, I have found this:
****Offside Front Track rod end ball joint dust cover damaged or deteriorated, but preventing the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (i)) (any brand recommendation for this)
I ask for quotations for change both brake disc, brake pads and ball joint cover and they want to charge me between 370£ and 400£ which honestly I feel is overpriced and I will only get budget replacement parts.
For the job that has to be carried out, for that motive I decided to do it myself and in case I feel something is no the way I like it I will take to the garage to give it a look if everything is fine.
But I have a problem I have been looking for the PDF manuals to repair this to know things such as OEM code, new parts sizes, and the right Torque I will need when I put things back together.
Thanks
