2001 TDi estate - anyone know what size the front disks are?

I am sure the Calipers have 'III' on them, and a few letters before them.

Part Co are quoting about

280 or 288mm, with FSIII calipers. Haynes says 280, but have been known to be wrong, and I will not attempt to guess that sort of difference in diameter!

280 or 288mm, with FSIII calipers.

280mm for sure. Only Octavia 1.8T has 288mm...

yup i changed mine last year (01 tdi ambiente estate) ,i took a wheel off and measured mine, they were 280mm and made a not of the pad shape, as there were 2 shapes listed.

i got mine from Car Parts and Car Accessories - Buy Parts By came to just short of £60 delivered the next day.

280 and check Motorsport World - Performance Car Parts - they do uprated as well as OEM stuff.

Yours will be the same as mine Matt,

I'll dig the GSF part numbers out if you like, definitely 280mm on my TDI

280mm for sure. Only Octavia 1.8T has 288mm...

ASZ (PD130) engine also has FN3 calipers and 288x25mm front discs.

Yes, you're right. Good point!

Matts car is a 110 TDI estate (with occasionally working turbo)

I know, I was just correcting the point I quoted for the historical archive .
