Just put in 2016 diesel 2.0 (not your reg) and it will bring up all front options 288, 312 and 340. You want the 312x25mm front 272x10mm rear
and IMHO I would pick either ATE or Brembo disks, ATE pads.
I've found these - would you say that these would be correct?
There are no ATE pads suitable for 312 discs on there.
On the Brisky Facebook group I was warned to stay away from Brembo and go for Pagid. What would you advise if I can't get ATE pads?

If yours is a diesel vRS and 66 plate then I would say you should have the smaller 312mm disk. If you have a curved section to the caliper carrier then I think it is certain.
It can only be 312x25mm or 340x30mm should be easy to see without getting too technical. Tape measure up against the wheel should do.
Yeah I've just compared a pic to my old 63 VRS and the discs on the newer car are definitely smaller.
No idea what discs and pads to buy now then - the ones I get linked to on Euro Car Parts when posting my reg are all 340mm 😫😫😫

AFAIK the smaller disk was fitted from MY16 onwards (late 2015 so a 16 or 65 plate) Yours should have the 340mm disk. Cant see anyone downgrading.
It is easy to see without measuring as the 312mm caliper carrier is curved nearest the hub (follows shape of hub) and the 340mm caliper is straight. They can be the only possible sizes so will not need measuring to the mm, should be obvious between the 2 sizes
Hmm - that's thrown up a question on mine too then.
I am in the process of getting new discs and pads - mine is a 66 plate and Euro Car Parts are saying I need a 340mm disc. I've just looked and I have a curved caliper.

Look at this page: https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/octavia/oct/2015-753/6/
The possible options are 1ZF, 1ZE, 1ZA, 1ZB or 1LG.
Sadly, this code is often not on the data sticker. Did your live chat person not say during the chat? They must have discovered your code in order to know it wasn't a match with what they have?
Try another chat?
The 2nd chat was a bit more helpful and said that the Brembo's should fit. The only thing that he couldn't advise on was the wear sensor. Obviously they are fitted to the current OE pads - not sure if they would be compatible with aftermarket ones though.

No he didn't tell me that it may not be on the sticker, nor did he tell me what the code actually is. I've phoned the dealer too but he just pointed me to Euro parts and said they have access to the VAG directory.
I will try another chat and see if I have any more luck.

What's the PR number for your front brakes?
I'm not sure how I find the specific PR number for the brakes. I've found the sticker in the boot but it has various different PR numbers.
1KT
1AT
1N7
1DO

There's your problem right there.
Did their live chat person not tell you which parts are compatible?
He said that all they had in was rears and nothing for the front end. I assume that he is right - I just wanted to double-check on here incase somebody had fitted those Brembo's and found that they are compatible.

Hi all
I've been discussing this briefly on the Brisky Facebook page but need a bit of info if possible. I need to replace my discs & pads on my O3 VRS and have spoken with my dealer who are quoting £243 for the parts.
The following Brembo parts are showing up as suitable when using the reg search on Euro Car parts. I then spoke with one of their team on live chat who said that they are not compatible due to the PR number not matching.
Can anybody clear this up?
https://bit.ly/2Rkc6nT - discs
https://bit.ly/2ITdzO6 - pads
Once Euro have their 50% discount running again it will be around £159 all in, for what I assume to be better quality parts?
-
I'm no mechanic but don't feel that that is normal. My 63 plate VRS with 39k never had it and my current 66 VRS with 2k hasn't had it either.

Mines arrived yesterday as well and I am very happy with it.
Trying to spot all the differences from my previous 2014 model is fun.
First surprise this morning was when the car spoke to me to tell me there was heavy traffic on one of the roads on my way in to work.
All the infotainment system seem slicker as well as the sat nav. Seems to have something similar to google maps now with the red line highlighting heavy traffic.
Amunsden Stereo sound better with a stronger bass! DAB Radio picked up a lot of the station graphics by default.
Maybe this is all something to do with the MIB1 - MIB2 thing?
The green illuminated switches are now white which I quite like and the door panel window switches look like they have new fonts/graphics?
On the downside yes the CD/MP3 slot has gone and the drawer under front passenger seat where I kept the service book has gone too.
Will try and get some pics up over the weekend.
Agree with all of your points here. I was coming from a 63 VRS and it just seems so much better all round.
The new screen is great and like you say the speakers seem better too. All round it just seems more refined.
I was expecting to have just bought the same car again and possibly be *slightly* underwhelmed but that isn't the case at all.

Here she is.
Better than expected - the dealer told me it had the black pack when infact it has the black pack plus - so the usual grille and mirrors, but also 19" extremes, colour maxi-dot and sunset glass.

It turns out that my dealer specced new car came with a black black plus, so colour maxi-dot, roof rails, grill, mirrors, 19" extremes but most importantly sunset glass!

Yeah I've had my L&K tinted, and it looks great on the rear windows, but the rear hatch has the dots and let's it down a bit. Thing is, you can only really tell when you're right up close to it.
Would you mind posting a close up pic or send one across on an email if I send you my details?

Hi everyone,
I pick up my new O3 next Thursday. A Quartz Grey VRS Estate. It's a dealer order so doesn't have many options.
My current O3 has sunset glass so I was going to get the new ones tinted when the car arrives (there's a place local to me who are very good).
Does anybody know if the 'standard' glass in the back of the O3 has the little black dots running around the perimeter? (see picture).
I've had a previous car tinted and the film didn't take too well to the little black dots being on the window.
Cheers all

November 2013 63 VRS TDI - 38k. Picking up my new Quartz Grey estate next week :sun: :sun: :sun:

They should be able to do it. If not, I did mine myself with some warm water, dental floss and then just used some label remover to wipe away any residue. Took all of 10 minutes.

Thanks everybody.

Hi all,
Just looking at these on Super Skoda.
http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/OCTAVIA-III/Octavia-III-rear-mudflaps-original-Skoda-autoas
My new O3 VRS Estate arrives on Sept 1st and doesn't have mudflaps - are these easy to fit? Are all of the holes already in place or do they require drilling?
Cheers

I did come to that conclusion last night after watching a few things on YouTube. I use the Google Maps app as I find that the Apple one is shocking, I don't believe the Google app is compatible. Plus, I have Amundsen anyway.
Thanks anyway all.

Cool - thanks a lot for your help. Saved me buying 340mm stuff and having to return it.
