Looking to buy an EBC disc and pad set and noticed that some of their kits fit either ATE or VW calipers.

 

How can you tell the difference?

I'm thinking they probably didn't fit 1 caliper across the whole TSI range.

 

FYI mine is a Monte Carlo 1.2 TSI (105)

 

Thanks

If you are sure that you have 288mm front discs, then you should have ATE or Teves front callipers which will have a vertical anti rattle spring wire. The A in ATE is for Alfred, Alfred Teves.

 

Edit:- if you have 256mm front discs , then you have callipers with FS111 cast into their outer face and no visible anti rattle spring(from memory) and still maybe ATE the only other calliper supplier at this point in time of production was Lucas > TRW.

If I enter my registration on Euro car parts and look under fitment details it says the discs are 288mm in diameter

Just had a look and there is an anti rattle wire which runs vertically and no visible stamp marks on the caliper from the outside anyway.

So that confirms you have ATE front callipers which were fitted to 288mm discs, even with reg number ECP site normally hands out too many options - well that is what I've normally found, though if you phoned them or went into a branch, I think that their database can easily find the one and only correct option for you, though prices tend to be website only prices unless you push hard at front desk.

 

Edit:- SEAT did tend to make Ibizas with that engine with 256mm front discs, probably to save a bit of money!
