Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just had my C4S serviced and at 64k miles it needs new fronts and will shortly need new rears. As its a tiptronic I don't think that's bad I reckon I'm in for a bill of about £1200 but what do you think? Toying with diy but it will take much longer to get done and not sure I really want to spend the time. Any ideas about OE, against others? Recommendations much appreciated. Road use only no track work!

POST 2Original post

Hi If as you say you're toying with the idea of diy then go for it, one of the easiest diy jobs on a 996, you will find lots of Suppliers around and will be able to diy for 1/2 the cost you stated. All the advice you need is in the technical Articles section. Best of luck Andy

POST 3Original post

I recently got all disc, pads (including sensors and shims), handbrake shoes and fluid done. Bits came to about £550 from Euro Car Parts.

POST 4Original post

Just sent mine for disks and pads all round on 996 Turbo - putting pagid blue pads on - just shy on £1800. I don't trust myself to do DIY so have to suck up the cost! If you are that way inclined its a good saving [ ]

POST 5Original post

Just received pagid discs all round and rear pads - but ATE front pads - from online company for £375. fitting by a friend of mine for £50 job done, Its as expensive as you make it!!
