It's that time. My car is out of warranty and simple stuff like brake pads need changing.

 

Can anyone clue me in on how I identify which rear brake pads I need for a 2017 (FL) Scout? My initial thoughts are that the standard disk size is 253mm with 272mm being for the VRS? 

 

Is there anything special I need to be aware of? Is it a simple manual windback of the caliper, or does that need to be done via VCDS/OBDEleven?

Afaik the Scout has the 272’s as it has IRS. Only the torsion beam cars have the 253’s and the vRS 245 has the 310’s. Mine has 310’s but I fitted them lol. Manual wind back for piston is fine as there is no EPB.
