Brake disc size

[Stuart-h]

Does any one know the size of the brake disc size for the 2 liter diesel at all? Mine has the dsg box with the 2 liter diesel non vrs engine.

[SashaGrace]

Usually 288mm, but you may have to check.

[Stuart-h]

Cheers Sasha. Take it that's for the front?

Got any idears for the rear?

[SashaGrace]

Yes, should be 253 rear but again you may have to check.

[Stuart-h]

Cheers. I'll have to pester my local dealer!

Cheers

Yes but for many things the 4x4 is a whole different animal to the standard 2.0 TDi

[jasongelly]

Yes, you’re right, it is different in many ways. I was supplied the wrong size rear discs, even though I informed parts supplier it was 4x4, probably worth measuring if possible.

Either take the rear disc PR code directly from the sticker in the spare wheel well...

 

 

...or enter your VIN number here...

 

 

Or make measure them using a cereal box!

I've only ever seen metal coat hangers in cheap Bed & Breakfasts 😂

 

More to the point you've lost your wheel nut caps...

[Ootohere]

@silver1011  Can you recommend any of these cheap B&B's you stay in?

[silver1011]

They're all well worth avoiding, no square sausage at breakfast and Irn Bru instead of orange juice 😂

Donald Trump banned Irn-Bru at 5 star Trump Turnberry because of the risk of carpet stains.

He must have his own supply of concentrate for spray tanning.

Room service laundry items do arrive on wooden hangers, but you are not supposed to keep them.

Wooden coat hangers cheap enough from any Ikea superstore and on the other point presumably Bill Clinton must be on the banned list as he is likely to leave personal stains on items of women's clothing not belonging to his wife (according to Monica alledgedly).

Does anyone know the minimum thickness for 288 front and 253 rear?  Fronts start new at 25mm and rear 10mm. Need to measure them yet but it would be good to know the limit before hand so I can measure them more accurately if borderline. Then I know how much I need to panic.

[farhadtt]

minimum thickness for 288 is 254 mm.

[farhadtt]

sorry minimum thickness for 288 is 22 mm.(orginal thickness is 25,4 mm
