Octavia III VRS Discs & Pads

[Dalelfc89]

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?

Once Euro have their 50% discount running again it will be around £159 all in, for what I assume to be better quality parts?

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.

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

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?

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.

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.
