GT is a spec level.
Not a model.

TDI 170s get 312mm brakes i believe all others are 288.

And the 288mm and 312mm take same pads apparently.

Www.brake parts.co.uk - good site to reference sizes of pads and discs.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Just checked that site and it's not clear...

R32 is 345mm

But it states the gt, gti have 3 options 280, 288 and 312

How you know which to get? Other than measuring your own?

The 1.9 tdi and smaller capacity petrols have 280mm discs.

2.0 tdi (pre-facelift GT) has 288mm discs, the GT170 and GTI have the same 312mm discs, both the 288/312 setup use the same pad and caliper, just different carriers.

The pads to look at between 280 and 288/312 are very different.

If you have a 140bhp diesel in standard form then you will have the 288mm setup
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Skard - thank you  :happy2: legend

I have the pre face lift gt so this will ave the 280mm discs. If I upgrade to gti fronts and rears Its not just the carriers i need then? I though calipers were the same.

 Ii would need to ask for discs and pads for a 312mm gti with pads to match? For the same year?

You'll have 288 not 280.
For the front it is just carriers and discs to go 312
