The 1.9 tdi has 50mm hubs and 282mm discs , the 2.0 tdi should have 55mm hubs and 288mm discs as standard ...not sure if the 170tdi has 312mm discs but it might have as b6 passat 2.0 140 has 312mm as standard ..think you will need different caliper carriers to fit 312mm discs ...why not fit r32 334mm discs and calipers ??

Modifying on a budget due to new house and baby on the way, seen a set for £150 with discs and pads thats all!

Guessing the 334mm brakes are expensive aswell!

The 345mm setup is usually £300+, you also need 17" OEM wheels as a minimum with them.

Just fitting GTI or GT170 (and similar VAG cars) caliper carriers means you can take 312mm discs (caliper and pads are the same as 288mm setup). Changing just carriers means no brake bleeding is necessary.

I did that on my old car and there was a nicer but very subtle feel when braking.

Well not much to update on this.

Got all my pulleys etc greased up yesterday as there was a slight squeek now drives a bit better but im changing the MAF sensor today as it seems to be a bit low on mpg only getting 43ish on motorway!

Oh and ive got a set of wind deflectors on the way!

They were just a random listing. Mk5 GTi, audi a3 Quattro (but not the early ones) think they are the 8p chassis code ones.
