Audi A6 C8 40TDI replacement brake pads and discs

Labour shouldn’t be much more than €200 or so. Parts depends on the brand you choose

I'd double check if you actually needed rear pads. VW told me my Golf needed new rear pads one year because they were thinner than the front. When I queried it they came back and said it actually doesn't, the rear pads are thinner than the front when new and the tech thought it needed replacing.

The following year at Cupra they finally needed replacing but didn't say it needed discs.

Friend of mine tried to get a price on a DSG service from 3 different Audi dealers. One said just oil, one said oil and filter and another said it doesn't need to be done (wet clutch DSG is serviced every 3 years/60k).

No idea. I just get the cheapest ones the motor factors sell and never had an issue

They won't be better quality than OEM but they may have different characteristics like sharper bite etc, quality and performance are not the same thing

Get a few motor factors website and enter car details will pull up info of makes and prices and will be a start and give you ideas.

Motor factors will do many makes and quality.

Bosch disks are often OEM, and are available for most cars

OEM are made by Pagid.

So you can have a Pagid Brake Pad in an "Audi " box or a Pagid Box, both exactly the same.

They are absolutely not the same, there are totally separate production lines for companies that make OEM and aftermarket options. Compare an OEM disc to a pagid and I guarantee you they will be totally different. Same for the pads.

Also there are 2 pagid companies, euro car parts own a pagid brand name but this is not the same as pagid Germany that do some OEM pads.
