Braking...

[paulcockermouth]

I have a 54 reg Audi A6 3.0 tdi s-line saloon.
I measured the discs and they are 347mm front and 330mm back. Are they standard pad size or do they do bigger pads for these discs? Very confusing...!

Thanks

The pads for the 347mm front discs are standard in the sense that, they are standard, fitted to all 3.0TDI A6's. But they are bigger than the pads that fit the 314mm discs on the lesser engined cars.

330mm sounds really big for the rears, thought they were only on the 4.2 V8.

Put your reg in on euro car parts website and it should pick you the right ones.

If you dont want euro car parts items, you can still use the website to cross reference details.

You can look in your service book for the data sticker and look for the PR codes, to be sure.

PR Codes. for 304mm rear disc
1ZL;1LH
PR Codes. for 330mm rear disc.
1KW;2EE

Some of my option codes...

E4J = "S-line"
1KW = Disc brakes, rear
1ZL = Disc brakes, front
1BV = Sports suspension/shock absorption


What does this mean from the option decoder?

Not sure what you mean. But

1KW IS 330MM DISCS
1KW = Disc brakes, rear

1ZL IS 347MM DISC.
1ZL = Disc brakes, front

Sorry Tame tech - just checking this meant 347mm front and 330mm back.
I have found the discs and pads (from your link) for the front - what do I get for the back (Pads that is!!)
What do people suggest?OEM?
