£175 Brakes and disks all round (front & Rear) turning into a £400 (parts & Tools) nightmare - at this rate the whole car will be replaced bit by bit just from changing the brakes.
The list of terrible events that have occurred while doing a simple brake replacement.
1. G&S provided me with incorrect brakes.
2. Could not for the life of me retract piston when correct brakes fitted (Day wasted).
3. Rear brakes done after some councelling, progression and very sore hands.
4. Attempted front brakes (this is the fun part).
5. Front left went on fine as did disk.
6. Front right went on terribly....
7. Top bolt pin wouldn't go back on. Brought new pin from Audi for £10.00 (wan***S).
8. Still bolt would not go in - checked thread on Wheel bearing carrier...
9. Thread is ******** beyond recognition.
10. No one wants to stock or sell a 9mm Recoil set so I can't do a bit of D.I.Y to the carrier.
11. Brought new carrier for £135.00 from Eurocarparts.
12. Guarenteed 24H delivery - 48 Hours later and still waiting.
13. You'll have to wait and see how the rest goes. I know something else is gonna go wrong (I have to take the old carrier off still) and I've been to scared to touch her now after these events.
