You mean 4 different fitting types..? or 4 different pad compound types ?  and yes your VW dealer should what type for sure..so long as you have the correct details for them and providing your not running completely different/aftermarket leg and hub setup.

First find if it has 280 or 288mm discs and then see if it has a wear indicator...match accordingly  :wink:

when you see te caliper piston you will know what it is. Although, when it comes to brakes, unless you know EXACTLY what your doing i wouldnt do it unsupervised by someone that does know. If they fail, your fcuked big time.
