Brakes Passat B8

[Goublin]

Hi,

Can anyone technically minded tell me more about the brakes on the Passat B8 more specifically the R-Line.

Are they from an Audi, how many pots, general specs

Tried googling, not much info out there.

Cheers, G

You would most likely have 312mm front disc's and the 287mmish rears with single piston calipers that's what vw put on most cars of that type if you had the 206tsi it would be the 345mm front with 310 mm backs also single piston calipers

When you say R-Line, I am assuming you are referring to the 206TSI R-Line?

As the R-Line Optional Package does not change the brakes on any other variant.

The 206TSI R-Line has both front and rear ventilated Discs.
F) 340mm x 30mm (vented)
R) 310mm x 22mm (vented)

Solid rear discs on the other variants.
F) 312mm x 25mm (vented)
R) 300mm x 12mm (solid)

Thanks for the info fellas. Yes I was asking specifically for the 206 TSI

sorry, just another question. Are they the same brakes on the Audi S3? the look like my mates but without the caliper clip. Or are they bespoke to the pasaat?
