Disc Brake Size Help

[tetley]

I have a 2010 Octavia L&M 1.8TSI and I need to replace the disc brakes and pads, the disks are 14 years old.

 

I want to order the same size as existing but I am having trouble identifying the correct size as different size discs come up depending where I search.

 

The pr no. is 1Z3 (I think).

 

Could a forum member please advise what size I should be looking for, please.

This is the vehicle data from the service record. Don't know if it will help.

 

Thanks.

Front, rear or both? 1KS is the PR code for the rears, I think.

 

PR codes for front brakes are always absent from the sticker in my experience. Include the VIN and I can look up for you though.

Both. They have never been replaced since new and are now rusted and pitted. I bought the car new.

 

I had an MOT advisory so want to sort out all these problems.

1KS. I'll see what I can find.

That's not going to help with fronts.

@tetley  Why not just whip the wheel off and measure the discs and confirm the pad shape too ?

I've never got the wrong bits doing that and comparing against specs & photos on ECP.

I would do but I'dont have any tools yet. Need to buy a jack, axel stands, hammer etc.

 

I have found the rear discs at Autodoc - SKF branded. VKBD 90041 S2.

 

I was hoping to identify the front before ordering everything I need. Make a list and go from there.

Missed the bit about the VIN.

Front brake PR code is 1ZE, which is 288 x 25mm discs.
