No mention of the 2.0 16v GTi anywhere or have i over looked the info in the posted links?

I have 288mm, so would that be the same?

Just need the carriers, discs and pads and away we go?  :cool:

Just had a look in the maintenance sect.... it says that the 2.0 8v needs the hub changing & the 1.8 turbo doesnt.... what about the 1.8 20v n/a? does any one know?


IIRC, the 125 has the 280's, so will need the hubs changing. :(

So I've just done a bit of shopping and purchased the following :

AUDI TT MINTEX FRONT BRAKE DISCS & PADS:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=230324593648

VW/Audi 312mm front Brake calipers and carriers:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=320371191240

Do I need anything else before I get my mechanic out to fit them?

Cheers,
