Title: replacement rear discs
Post by: lewis1641 on 09 May 2011, 15:19

just received these...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370350076989&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

and they are clearly front discs. have the counter sink for the screw that attaches them to the hubs and nowhere for the bearings to press into. i have emailed them but no reply. have also just noticed that they are 239mm so very sure these are driver fronts (they are solid).

or am i wrong? did any golfs come with 239mm rear discs that screw onto a seperate hub?

grr. they are suggesting they will accept them back and supply the right ones, but the right ones are nearly double the price!

if they dont take these back i could always use them on the wife's mk3 diesel (if it EVER runs again...)

The listing is for a Rallye so are suitable for the syncro .. prob correct rears in this case.

I believe as above Syncro rears were different so they might be correct in that case, however will be wrong for a standard mk2.

update on the discs.

had an email problem so called them up.  they said that due to their computer system they need these back before they can send the correct ones out. they offered to cover return postage costs and are doing the replacements at the same price as these, even though they should be nearly double.

assuming the correct ones turn up i would like to take this opportunity to declair these GOOD GUYS!
