Title: Standard brakes Mk4
Post by: WillGTTDi150 on 02 July 2014, 16:08

Apologies if this had been asked before, I tried the search function and could t see anything obvious..... I have a 2004 (53 plate) GT TDi 150, are the discs 288mm standard? I need to order some for a mate to fit.
Also anyone know the cheapest place to buy them

Thanks

Look in the service book and there will be a PR number which will tell what size is fitted, let me know what that is and I will do a quote (for good quality discs)

Cheers mate, just had a look and nothing obvious popped out..... Any idea where it would be?

this shows where the PR number is (on the sticker in the service book or in the boot). In this case it's 1KD/1LB

I've got 1AT and 1NL which could be 2PX? Confused a bit!

Can confirm cheap brake pads are sh!t.

Chucked some £7 quid cheapys in the MK4 to keep it going til 312mm set up and nearly died the other day as they got hot and stopped working. :grin:

Standing on the pedal and nothing.

Absolutely nothing like the Pagid pads in there before.

Delphi are good and Brads prices even better, take his offer

You won't regret it.
