My pads on my 2017 sportline TDI (150) are getting low so looking at the options for replacements, just wanting clarification before I order on the size differences. Ive found there are two options for both front and rear. Would I be right to assume this is based on the power output of the car? ie, 340mm front and 310mm rear for the 190bhp model and the smaller 312mm front and 300 rear for the 150? and if so what are the physical differences in the brake setup? are the front calipers different or is it just the carrier?

 

Thanks for any input

I have a 190 and there is no way it has 340mm discs up front!!     Maybe the 190 4x4 but I would imagine they are on the highest powered petrol models 

340/310mm is the 2.0 TSI 280/272 disc setup, no idea about the 190 TDI but I'm 99% sure the larger discs fit the lower powered models too.

the 220 has the 312mm setup.

280/272 models...
F) 340mm x 30mm (vented)
R) 310mm x 22mm (vented)

All the rest...
F) 312mm x 25mm (vented)
R) 300mm x 12mm (solid)

They are defo 312. I have a mapped sportline 4x4 diesel and I changed front discs and callipers from 312mm for the 340mm set up and I use Zimmerman sport coated discs and brembo x pads... if you want standard or a little upgrade Just go for brembo or Zimmerman discs. Either brembo Coated (standard) or brembo xtra. Or Zimmerman sport coated.  They are drilled though. Brembo do a standard pad and a mild fast rd pad called a brembo xtra.

brembo also do a max disc which is grooved. 
personally I wouldn’t bother with Pagid. They seem very hit and miss. They were very Noisy  when I had them but some folks like them. 
their fast rd and track stuff is superb but the standard ecp stuff is shoite

When you say you changed them for the larger set up did you require carriers for the bigger discs? I would assume to change the rears for vented it would be a must but unsure on the fronts.

Yes mate I just brought a set of callipers and carriers of eBay. It was a late night but it now. Think I laid something daft like 90 quid for the pair. They are the same as golf r or mk7 gti. Also kodiaq 190bhp petrol. But they won’t be painted. 
rears re also a compete carrier and Caliper. But again things like Passat r line bitdi or tsi are also the same

that’s one side

and the other. 
full front set for less than 200 quid. Winner
