Title: Help appreciated - front brake pads
Post by: ReflexRob on April 01, 2016, 05:22:36 pm

My brake PR code is 1LL

I've got 312mm Brembo front discs ordered from GSF (40% off this weekend and most it seems - use promo code APRIL40)

I want to order a pad set too but the page doesn't display compatibility with the 1LL code:

Any idea which I should order?

Thanks

Hi ReflexRob
Assuming you've got standard 312mm discs these are available from Eurocar parts,
http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Golf_2.0_2007/p/car-parts/brakes/brake-friction/brake-pad/?10144113A&1&86d3e6851b14a552f8df4f49e6603d1f2da82d1e&000036 (http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Golf_2.0_2007/p/car-parts/brakes/brake-friction/brake-pad/?10144113A&1&86d3e6851b14a552f8df4f49e6603d1f2da82d1e&000036)

Use code EASTER20 to get 20% off the list price of £32.99 (i tried it and still works)
These are the pads I fitted a couple of months ago  :happy2:
Sorry can't help with your GSF link, but you may be able to use the info from Euro's website to compare.

Is there not a VW dealer you can get some from?

I doubt a vw dealer would accept a GSF discount code!
Perhaps asking in GSF at the sales desk would be a better idea? The guys here in the Lincoln branch are pretty helpful so you may get lucky

Give GSF a call if you still need to know the part number. Banbury branch is open today until 3. They'll give you the part number you need to order.

Phone number 01295 221133
