Replacing Disks & Pads

[Antic]

I need to replace the front disks and pads and have a couple of questions

1.

Im considering these FRONT DISCS & PADS they seem to me to be a fair price inc P&P from a well known make for standard replacments, any thoughts on these ?

2.

Im assuming these 4x4 disks and pads are the same and will fit the MKI 2WD as it quotes "all models inc combi" is this correct

Ive no experience of the ones youve mentioned but a mechanic friend uses the same kits in his workplace with no problems at all. A name I'd trust also.

I have mintex on the BACK of mine, no probs so far...

Thanks chaps i think ill go with the mintex then

Ive been looking at these myself on ebay. Seems really good value for money.

If anyone else has any views on these can they post.

Cheers, Matt.

Mintex == TMD Friction

Pagid == TMD Friction

Texar == TMD Friction

Pagid are the OEM pads IIRC, so make of this as you will

The TDi has different front brakes to the 1.8T 4x4.

I bought a set of these discs and pads for the front of my VRS and am very pleased with them! Little dust, great stopping from cold, no better or worse than OE and at a fraction of the price. I, for one, am happy!!

I like the little dust idea. Love clean wheels and theyre a pain to keep clean!

Thanks Ross

I think ill have to contact the seller to see exactly what it is he`s selling

If you look at the listing the disks and pads are for a 1.9TDI 4x4 and also it

states

"FITS THE FOLLOWING

SKODA OCTAVIA 1.9 TDi

06/1996 - ONWARDS

ALL MODELS INC COMBI"

This is what had me assuming they are compatible with mine so i think a quick emails in order

Could try GSF carparts. You get freedom member discount as well. I got Brembo discs / Pagid pads for the Fabia.
