Which pads and discs

[vwgtiking]

I need pads and discs all round. Any recommendations? And what's size discs do I have on 1.8t BFB audi a4?

 

[pauldazzle]

Pagid for both discs & pads. ECP carry Pagid, just put your reg in & it'll show you parts for your car. Good prices too.

 

[vwgtiking]

Thanks mate

 

[vwgtiking]

They don't what size discs I have and told me to measure them?!?

 

[BakPak]

Have you measured them yet dude?

 

[S3 GAZ]

Went pagid disc and pads all round on my 1.9 TDI quattro sport. From ECP. £145. Quality and better than Audi I think

 

[vwgtiking]

Have you measured them yet dude?

Don't have car with me as still in bodyshop but can I measure without taking wheel off. ****** stupid they can't go by reg

Measured my 1.9tdi fwd yesterday, rear 245mm, front 280mm. I guess they differ depending on sport or quattro spec but even so you would expect a motor factors to know the standard spec.

 

[vwgtiking]

You measure with the wheels on or off?

 

[BakPak]

Wheels on dude, just offer a scale across the diameter of the disc.

 

[S3 GAZ]

My 04 1.9 TDI quattro sport is 288 up front and 245 rear.

 

[S4_dan]

No need to measure. Just use the PR code and cross reference with that in your service book/spare wheel well.

 

[BakPak]

Is there 1 or 2 flexi brake pipes for the rear?

 

[vwgtiking]

No need to measure. Just use the PR code and cross reference with that in your service book/spare wheel well.

What's a pr code? When I get car back I will check.

 

[S4_dan]

What's a pr code? When I get car back I will check.

These:

It lists everything fitted at factory. There are some websites that decipher the codes if you enter them all. The brake disc PR on this image is 1KD and 1LG.

[S4_dan]

If the PR code matches on of yours then it will fit (in theory, as long as the brakes haven't been upgraded in the past with something different)

Or use a calculator like this one: AudiEnthusiasts PR Decoder

[BakPak]

Checked the code on mine and it shows 1KD for rear and 1LB for the front.



Does that code confirm 280mm for front discs?

 

[BakPak]

Just checked my PR code against the options available from ECP and it shows 1LB is 288mm disc. Odd 1LG code isn't shown Dan?

Do you know the PR code for your discs Gaz?

 

[S3 GAZ]

I'll check and see

The rear discs you need off ECP is the Part no. 104441188. This is going off the VIN number in the pic you posted.
The rear discs might all be 1LG hence no code displayed.

It's the fronts dude...

 

[S4_dan]

It's the fronts dude...

Beg your pardon, misread it. In that case then it seems these are all the same; FRONT DISC-VENTED 288mm 'ATE' PR-1LB/1LE/1ZC

Here's my PR.

 

[vwgtiking]

Think I have 312?

 

[vwgtiking]

Anyone tell me size rears I have.

 

[TheDriver]

Sorry to jack the thread vwgtiking. Didn't think I should start a new thread for what is more than likely going to be a one word answer

Could I just ask fellas, what is the largest size discs I can bolt directly onto my car without having to change calipers/carriers. Is it 312mm front, 255mm rear?

The car is AVF avantQ and according to TPS currently has 288mm front and 245mm rear.

Any info would be muchos gracias. Thanks

 

[TheDriver]

Just pulled up an old thread that suggests I need to replace the carriers if I want to go with 312mm up front.

Does that sound about right?

 

[swarcup]

yes you will need new carriers to change to 312mm discs

 

[TheDriver]

yes you will need new carriers to change to 312mm discs

Cheers thanks for that! Can the old carriers be used on the rear for 255's or upgrade too?

 

[vwgtiking]

Bump

 

[SuperV8]

Cheers thanks for that! Can the old carriers be used on the rear for 255's or upgrade too?

You will need carriers specific to the 255 disc as well, Like with the front, same caliper, new carrier and 255 disc.

Did mine using front and rear carrier from a 3.0L.

1KP, 255mm. These: Pagid Audi | Euro Car Parts UK’s No.1 Car Parts Retailer

 

[vwgtiking]

And the fronts are 312mm?

 

[S4_dan]

Yes.

 

[vwgtiking]

Thanks mate.

 

[vwgtiking]

Do I have ate braking system. Now looking at pads are there 2 ate or Lucas?

 

[TheDriver]

I think the fronts are ATE and the rear are LUCAS braking systems

 

[vwgtiking]

Thanks mate. But does the pr numbers I uploaded say for certain?

Thanks Tom. Sorry, I had missed your post but thank you for the clarification though Unfortunately I had to go ahead and order the normal 288/245 due to the slightly prohibitive cost of the carriers, couldn't really hang around to find them at bargain prices as current brakes almost dead. Cheers
