Brake pads and dics for my ed30
« on: January 04, 2018, 06:53:44 pm »
Hi I need some brake pads and discs for Golf ed30 2007 (manual), not looking for anything out of this world (Montez will do). Just looking on eBay found these

Or

Which one do I go for or is there a better alternative?

Thanks in advance

You need to find out or know what size rears you have. Of the three links listed there, they offer a 260mm rear, 282mm rear and a 286mm rear

The 312mm front is the same across all Mk5 Golf GTi
TFSI... Revo Stage 2+... . WMI.... VCDS HEX + CAN, MPPS, VAG Commander & VAG tacho - South Wales

Ok i missed that part of the size of the rear discs being different on the 3 ads I posted. I would've thought the rear discs should all be the same size (grouped by model/variation).

How do i find out the size of my rear discs then?

The rears are probably 282mm. Originally they would have been 286mm but I believe even VW now supplies 282mm as replacements. Look at the sticker on the boot floor and at the begging of the fourth line down there should be a code like 1KY. This determines what size are fitted.
