Brakes/Discs/Sensor
At the 45000 service some months ago our MY14 180TDI was "recommended" to have brakes done - despite no indicator coming on, and no issue with brake performance. It was suggested i might last a couple of thousand more kms, so i deferred replacing given the eye-watering cost they suggested to replace the discs, pads and sensor. Allegedly if the sensor isn't replaced it tends to give face warnings (although i'm guessing this may be dealer bs).
Now some 10,000km+ later i'm heading towards the 60,000 service and likely to be given the same "advice". Brakes still working without any issue, and no warning light as yet. It does mostly highway driving hence why it's probably beaten the "estimate".
So, in anticipation of the warning light coming on at some stage, or in the event of the same "advice", can anyone comment or recommend where they may have had this done alternatively (aftermarket or otherwise)? And in particular the (rough) cost?
I'm in Vic if that's a factor but i'd be interested in comments on product(s) used and cost (even if interstate). And did people need to do discs and pads and sensor or just the pads etc?
Thanks in advance.
