OEM Parts

[Magan]

Hi all,

I have just bought a great 64 plate 3.0 (262 bhp) Cayenne Tip S in very good condition with lot of extras and very pleased with it; had a Macan Turbo, a 991 and a 996 40th Anniversary in the past so not new to the brand.

The Cayenne still has 10 months' extended warranty on it so don't want to take any chances invalidating it, consequently only want to fit OEM parts. This issue I have is that the front brake pads were picked up as an advisory on the last MoT (300 miles' ago) so I phoned Porsche main dealer and they quoted £590 for just the pads. I don't mind paying for a decent service but that is little too excessive.

Can anybody point me in the best direction to order some genuine OEM front pads/sensors?

Thanks in advance.

If you’re going to be buying parts long terms if you going PCGB that gives you 10% off parts prices at all OPC’s. Cost of joining is roughly what you’d save in this case though.

When I looked for some winter wheels and tyres recently it was cheaper going to an OPC and using the PCGB membership than using some of the Porsche specialists. Can’t remember which one but one of them seemed to have mixed reviews of availability of stock.

I imagine a lot of cars under warranty (extended or factory) use OEM spec consumables fitted by a good independent, particularly when it comes to discs and pads.

Many thanks,

Ended up going to a different OPC today who quoted a lot lower than the first one I spoke with, and then added a decent discount.
