Hi guys,

I want to place an order to replace the following parts but I'm having a hard time figuring out the right sizes:

- rear drum

- rear break pads

- front disks

- front break pads

- rear shock absorber dust covers

 

Skoda Fabia 6y2 - 2007 - 1.2 petrol 40 kW / 54 HP - I believe code engine is BMD (SCBMDX01)

 

Also, if you guys have any suggestions on what else needs to be changed when replacing the above or the manufacturer for those parts it would be much appreciated,

Thank you!

Front discs may be 239mm or 256mm, measure the disc or look for FSIII in big letters on the outside face of the caliper (256mm if you see this)

It's usually the bump stops (item 4) that need replacing rather than the dust covers?

Thank you Sir!

 

I do use 7zap to identify parts but it doesn't show up all the details, for example, for the front break pads, what Thickness should I pick? What about Height1/2, Width? There are so many options and every parts website, even though you add the exact car details, still shows items that don't really fit your car...

Use the part number column and cross reference against that for any aftermarket/ non-genuine parts. Or hit the button on the far right that's called 'interchange' or similar for lists of such parts.

I'm doing that, using the OEM part code on the website but for the same code I can find multiple results.  For example the break drum show up with multiple sizes such as diameter of 240 or 230, interior height where I'm guessing the break pads are pressing, is either 40, 50.1 or 50.5

Use better websites, or telephone them tell them the OE part numbers you wish to replace and speak to humans.

 

It is similar here, where one of the big players have rubbish online look-ups and no supplier part numbers shown usually.  The guys in the shops or on the end of the phones are usually looking at more precise and extensive  info than the websites provide.  I usually find ebay with 'include description' ticked tends to find OE part numbers referenced in the listing even if they aren't in the title.  Buy from them.

 

I went to a local dealer with the VIN number and ordered all the needed parts. I'll try and either find a mechanic to change the parts, hoping they are the right ones, or I will try and fit them myself.

Any suggestions for the case I'm going to fit them myself?
