Pads...what would you fit?

Pads all round V40 D3 what would you fit?

Padgid £55
Brembo £64
Genuine £120

Or can I get them cheaper elsewhere?! :-)

Just genuine Volvo parts... apparantly aftermarket ones rattle in Volvos

as Phillg1986 said above - but get a quote from FRF Swansea quoting "C" you might well find they come in much cheaper than buying locally.

Another vote for genuine, I’ve tried loads of aftermarket over the years on my different volvos and genuine is the only way really.

I had new discs and pads fitted by Kwikfit on my old XC90. They were absolutely fine and i had no issues at all.

I’m sure they were fine but for what you can get genuine for now I would personally always go genuine now. Genuine pads and disks lasted 100k on my s60 which you just wouldn’t get from aftermarket.

I dont know about the V40 as only had my D3 for 2 months but i always fitted mintex pads to my S40

Genuine Volvo pads (and discs) every time. There isn’t a better quality option, I buy genuine brake parts even for my wife’s V50 after poor experience with Mintex and a few others. Especially more important in the heavier models.

Look on eBay. Find lowest price for genuine. Then go to parts dept as they price match

I prefer the minted pads. Better feel. Definitely no rattle with paggid or mintex. Bren is we’re ok. The worst. Genuine pads.

For pads I always prefer ATE (who make a lot of Volvo OEM stuff). I tend to use pagid discs. However just got a new V40 D3 with fantastic brakes so I suspect it will be 2020 before I next have my brake tools out!
