Price for brake pad replacements on C3 Picasso (2013)

[Davef68]

EDIT TItle should be BRAKE DISCS!

 

 

My MD reports that my front and rear brake discs require replacing soon, and quoted me almost £700 for 'genuine' parts and close to £500 for 'non genuine' parts fully fitted.

 

Reasonable or better looking for an independent to do the job?

ECP (Eurocarparts) Have Front Discs for about £15, rear for £50. Rear Pads are about £15 and Fronts are an average of about £22.

 

 

It's best to replace pads at the same time too; Total for Parts: approx £110 (Based on a 1.6 Diesel)

 

 

Do the maths on the labour ! I'd shop around.....

I would "kind of politely" tell your main dealer that you are not paying for his all-inclusive first class cruise around the world.

I would be surprised if an independent quoted much more than £350. Including brake fluid which gray forgot to include in his Eurocarparts advert !

One of my oldest friends is a Manager at one of their depot's. You would be astounded at how cheap you can get their parts for, (based on what they pay for them) and no, I am not telling who he is.

Don't need brake fluid as you'll be pushing it back up towards the reservoir.... :)

 

If you 'do' change the fluid though, it needs to be bled under pressure.

 

(I only used ECP as it's click and collect prices are good, it's local to me, and the others charge more) ;)

OK GSF are doing 355 off this weekend with code SEPT35

 

Had a look at C3 Pic 1.6 diesel discs and pads on their site gsfcarparts.com and found the following:

 

Note two different sized front discs, get the right one.

Front disc 266 diameter £22.97 x 2 = £45.94 -35% = £29.86

Front pads 266 diameter £26.64 x 2 = £53.28 -35% = £34.63

Total 266 front end = £64.49

 

Front disc 283 diameter £28.80 x 2 = £57.60 -35% = £37.44

Front pads 283 diameter £37.37 x 2 = £74.74 -35% = £48.60

Total 283 front end = £86.04

 

Rear disc with bearing 249 diameter £56.88 x 2 = £113.76 -35% = £73.94

Rear pads £20.09 x 2 = £40.18 -35% = £26.12

Total rear = £100.06

 

Total 266 front & rear = £164.55 : Total 283 front & rear = £186.10

 

Note this is the price for their cheapest range, for Brembo the cost are higher

 

Front disc 266 dia £36 with pads £43.20 total with -35% = £102.96 + rear = £203

Front disc 283 dia £47.45 with pads £61.20 total with -35% = £141.25 + rear = £241.31

Rear are the same only one quality at a decent price.

oh dear I left it too late to edit the total, note that pads come in 4 not 2 so total need to be re worked.
