Title: Engine code and disc dilemma
Post by: tommyc84 on 30 April 2009, 09:51

Im on the www at work looking to order some break discs for my Golf mk2 8v Gti 1989'.

I wanna make sure i'm getting the right ones.. so would like the engine code for my car if anyone knows to hand?

I've looked here: http://www.sun-diagnostics.com/intl/en/pdf/html/full_vw.html (having searched the forum and find the link from somebody elses thread)

And have narrowed it down to a few possibles.. but not sure??!!  :huh:

Secondly, the discs im looking at getting are between Brembos and ATE. Brembos appear to be £39.99 per disc and ATE around £20 a disc. Have i got that right???

Is it worth spending a bit more on the brembos??

From these links..

http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen-Golf-1.8-1989/p/Car-Parts/Brakes/Brake-Friction/Brake-Discs (second disc down?)

and

("62365F  BRAKE DISC-VENTED X DRILL    G2 1.8 8V GTi    39.95" these ones????)

Im going to combine the new discs with some green stuff pads :cool: :sick:

Cheers Tom

Thanks, needed that just to be doubly sure. Went for the ATE discs in the end. Read up on them on the forum. Seem to be a good buy. Will fit them this weekend :laugh:

cheers
