Brake pads

[Sudoku]

I meant the actual dedicated Tiguan R model with 235kw which will have the bigger 340mm brakes, not the R-Line. Im pretty certain the R-Line has the same brakes as a Golf GTI which are the 312mm ones. My neighbour has a Tiguan 162TSI thats always parked on the street, so ill have a look at his brakes later today to confirm.

Thanks a lot.

For reference both our 147TDI Elegance Tig's have 340mm front discs

I'm not certain but the lowest spec 'Life' FWD only may have the smaller front rotors, i.e. 312mm

Where The Tiguan R does differ is in the rear discs. They are ventilated rather than the solid discs that are on the rest of the models. Furthermore the front calipers in the R look more robust and may have multiple pistons rather than the single piston on the lesser models.

Apologies i should have been more clear. I do have R line model 162kw

Have you used the Bendix on line vehicle lookup? You can enter your Aussie rego and state and it may give you the answer you need.

OK forget what I said earlier - the 162TSI does have 340mm front disks. Sorry about any confusion Bendix BR2830 Front Brake Rotors x2 (Pair) - MK7/7.5 R & MK8 GTI/Tiguan - Harding Performance

Bendix online lists both - guess car is compatible with either?

As ATE pads are hard to find, I was thinking of going with Brembo.

So front is definitely 340mm but confused if rear is either 310 or 300. I couldnt measure properly over the wheels.

The Brembo's are great. Have used them on several cars, no issues. And their quality is very nice.

I think the 300mm ones are solid disks and 310mm are vented disks, so should be pretty easy to tell what you have on your car now.
