Front brake Rotor 2023 R

[gerhard]

I just discovered that my vehicle has 2 piece rotors on the front, during my attempt to find the correct Brembo pads to use to replace the OEM ones.

There are two listings for the NAO Ceramics which are shown for different PR codes, but I don't know my PR code as there is no sticker that I can find.

Fronts are P85131N and/or P85144N

Rears are P85124N

Any help appreciated.

Probably easier to just buy both brake pad options and then return the incorrect one. Or remove one of your current pads to measure size and shape (take photos and perhaps trace shape onto a piece of paper) and then compare to the images that Brembo will have on their website.

Good idea. I was planning on taking one off to check the OEM part and the sizes, because there's some scarcity of T-ROC listings anywhere on the web, and what is there isn't always consistent. The Bendix AU website thinks my R is a 140 TSI.......

The Brembo website tech listing shows the 131N to be 175.1 wide, 69.7 tall, and 19.8mm thick. The 144N is 174.9 wide, 69.3 tall, and 20mm thick.

When I use the compare feature, they show as identical.

If you look at those measurements, they are literally less than mm different from each other. Likely that both will fit, but one will be a better fit into the caliper no doubt. Also probably why both images look identical - because they essentially are.

Looking at the PR codes for my T-Roc R it list:
1LQ disc brakes front
2EF disc brakes rear

1LQ = 340mm Dia x 30mm width ventilated discs
2EF = 310mm Dia x 22mm width ventilated discs

OEM brakes pads are listed as:
Front - 5Q0698151AG
Rear - 5Q0698451AC

Thanks for that info. Does your R have the two piece rotors on the front? I'm wondering if that's an update from earlier ones. As per my reply to Lucas, I will remove one and check to see if they are 340mm and what the OEM pads are. It's the only way to be 100% sure.

Are those PR codes common across all VAG variants, or are the Tiguan specific ?

They are vehicle specific but many vehicles may have the same codes. Your build will have dozens of PR codes, ask your dealer for a printout of your "Vehicle Data".

My printout is 6 pages long of very small print.

Done that already, but my car came with different brakes (I fitted the 340/310 combo), so just curious if the PR codes are common

The codes for my Leon V are Front:1ZA & Rear:1KE.

It looks like the codes for Cupra are different, as the Formentor rotors are Rear:1LD & Front: either 1X0, 1X1, 1KD or 0N4

Being the impatient sort of bloke (sometimes ) I have ordered the P85131N from Amazon, will arrive tomorrow, just under $100. Easy to return with Prime if they aren't right. I ordered the P85124N from Rolan on E-Bay should be here by Friday.

I will note the OEM part numbers of the Rotors and Pads to see if they match the ones above.
