Front brake pads PR number

[davhardy]

I need to purchase new front brake pads for my Skoda 2005 Octavia 1.6 FSI.

A number of suppliers (e.g. Euro Car Parts) offer two alternative front brake pad options: one is suitable for fitting PR 1ZF or 1ZM and the other is suitable for PR 1LL, 1LP or 1ZE. How do I determine which is the version suitable for my car?

The model description from the vehicle data in the service schedule booklet is:

1Z33K4 A5 SH ELE

Transmission GYT 9102 CA 85KW BLF

Optional extras - multiple 3 alpha-numeric references but none identical to the PR 1ZF, 1ZM, 1LL, 1LP or 1ZE.

Would appreciate any advice.

I recently ordered brake discs and pads from euro car parts and service was excellent.

I used their live chat facility on their website as there were 2 or 3 choices for my front pads. They have some sort of Skoda parts book and looked up which ones mine were based on registraion and production date.

They got mine right!

I called Euro car parts, he said I have to check with my mechanic. My mechanic saying he needs check car again which I dont have time to take there.

 

I will find PR number and will find right one.

 

Thanks for reply.

You can run the codes through a website such as: http://vag-codes.info/#option-decoder to get the descriptions.

For instance my car has - 1KF = Disc breaks, rear.

Then when you search on ECP for rear brake discs for an Octavia 2.0 diesel you should be able to see info under "Fitment Detail" a list which includes things like:

Diameter (mm) = 282

PR Number = 1KF, 1KP

From doing this I now know my rear discs are 282mm

Unfortunately front brakes tend not to be mentioned in the PR details printed in the book, you may have to contact a dealer for the full list for your car.
