I'm asking for my father, he needs to do a brake job all around on his a4. I know passat brakes of the same year fit on my b6. Can he do the same and order passat pads from a passat the same yr as his as well? Thanks

Why bother? is he trying to save a couple bucks?
A full set of Akebono pads can be had on Amazon for cheaper than OEM.

aftermarket pads are better andcheaper.
or get pagids as theyre OE and much cheaper than OEM.

I can understand trying to save some money, but this just, I dunno. I replaced my pads and rotors not too long ago, and it was not overly expensive, blank rotors and EBC pads. I am sure it could have been cheaper if I went with pads from Autozone.

Maybe he's got a set laying around?? But I don't think they are the same.
And yup, Pagid, Textar, TRW are all OE and can be had relatively cheap. Akebono are also a great alternative.
