    MK1 Cupra front/rear pads disks need replacing.

    my friend said he may as well do the bearings at the same time as the disks & pads since they are super cheap? + the car has 80k miles and they have probably never been done.

    fault code p0411

    the pump? in short it blows hot air onto the cat when the car is cold to lower your emissions when the engine is not up to temp... basically it does nothing but cause a big headache with the engine light and alot of money to replace for something thats kinda pointless in this country.. my pump...
