Golf MKIV brakes on a Polo

[v0dka]

Hi, I would like to know for future reference if anyone knows whether or not Polo TDI brake discs + pads have a Mk4 Golf substitute? They don't seem to list Polos in any of the brake catalogues i've seen. Not after an upgrade, just a replacement

Cheers,

Jason

and does anyone know if martini fluid + ebc brake pads are a possible upgrade for the pog tdi?

Try, these part numbers for Green Stuff pads (if thats what you want)
Front DP21329
Rear DP2680

There are 2 entries for TDI from 2002 to present the ones above and another entry for the exact same pads as the GTI, and I assume fit the 96kw TDI they have OS.

I would also check with a local supplier you will need to go here http://www.ebcbrakes.com.au/ and click the stockist link at the top of the page.

thanks johan not worried about calipers just a replacement rotor

You going to get slotted rotors or something from a MK4 Golf Jas?

[Sharkie]

Speak to Shane, he's got really nice slotted and drilled front discs fitted.

BTW, Shane, how much ?

Slightly off topic ... I picked up a set of Polo GTI front calipers and rotors that I was thinking about putting on my Polo TDI. I had a chat with a mechanic from the dealer, and of course he said it was a bad idea from a warranty perspective, but he also said it might cause problems with the ABS and that the stock TDI master cylinder might not be able to cope with the larger brakes.

Any opinions?

Well,I've gone the other way and fitted larger brakes to a GTI with the standard master cylinder with no ABS or brake problems.I know of others who have fitted even bigger brakes{R32}and all has been OK.
Best talk to an independent VW workshop without vested "warranty" interests.
I'm sure if I'd asked my dealer he would have poo-pooed the idea.
