Front brake disc size

[daavisz]

Hey. Does someone knows which are the right size for my Octavia?

Disks are warped so I need new ones.

I know theres 3 different diameters.

256x22mm (1LQ)

280x22mm (1LR,1LS,1ZM)

288x25mm (1LE,1ZE)

How to know which is the right size?

Thanks.

Did some more research.

Could it be 280x22mm (1LR,1LS,1ZM)?

I had a SEAT Toledo with the 20v non turbo engine, and that had 280mm discs on it.

Have a look at the caliper. If it says FS-III on it, you have 280mm (or 256mm, but unlikely on the 20v). If it doesn't say anything, you have 288's.

Have a look here:

Yeah; if the the letters "FS-III" are cast into the calipers (big letters, they cover most of the outer face), you've got 280mm vented discs (Probably 22mm thick); otherwise you'll have DS-3 calipers and 288s.

[daavisz]

Yes. They're FS-III

Thanks for help.

Does brake pad size also differs?

and do Ferodo make good brake pads?

I'm not certain about the pad size, but I think that's determined by the caliper rather than the disc.

When I'm buying standard brake pads, I normally look for one of Ferodo, Girling and Pagid, who between them are OEM suppliers to most of the European motor industry.

[daavisz]

Oh.

So these should fit?

My knowledge of Eastern European languages is virtually non-existant, but I think they're correct for the FS-III caliper.

Here's the measures.

Brake system- Ate

Length [mm] 146

Height [mm] 54,7

Depth [mm] 19,7

Test value E990R01214/1204

Weight [kg] 1,7

Without a wear sensor

Thanks a lot!

Yep, those are the correct ones for you. The fixings on the FS-III caliper is different to the FN3.

You can see the difference here:
