GTI brakes... bosch/lucas differences? - ginge191 - 02-02-2014
Now owning the '6 the brakes are SHOT to pieces.
I remember reading a little while back about some difference between the calipers.
I just need some brakes on the car - found these; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pagid-Front-Brake-Kit-266mm-Vented-Girling-System-Discs-Pads-PEUGEOT-306-2-0-GTI-/231074706763?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3APeugeot|Model%3A306&hash=item35cd20354b
they seem legit or would i HAVE to check the calipers prior to replacement?

GTi should have 283mm brakes. And I think they are all Lucas....

I have a pair of GTi calipers...for 283mm...Bosch
Brand new, soon to be fitted!
RE: GTI brakes... bosch/lucas differences? - ginge191 - 02-02-2014
so why is that advert saying they're 266mm??
RE: GTI brakes... bosch/lucas differences? - Daniel306 - 02-02-2014
Its a mistake, its says "Diameter [mm]: 285" in the description

Which is something you can easily get away with. Don't forget, thats only 1mm in the calliper so hardly a big difference.

Yeah true, if they actually are that size. It seems that the ad is pretty poorly done imo. They've even written 'breaks' which a big company should be able to spell. And getting the title wrong too... I wouldn't be surprised if they turn up completely wrong but I guess we'll see.
RE: GTI brakes... bosch/lucas differences? - ginge191 - 02-02-2014
See ordering from ECP i do tend to have wrong parts which bugs me!
RE: GTI brakes... bosch/lucas differences? - welshpug - 02-02-2014
ALL gti6's/rallyes are lucas 283x22mm brakes, no variants no nothing.
RE: GTI brakes... bosch/lucas differences? - Piggy - 02-02-2014
Or bosch!
There are a number of companies advertising on ebay listing as front discs for gti6, but in details it shows as 266mm...very annoying and naughty
RE: GTI brakes... bosch/lucas differences? - welshpug - 03-02-2014
nope, no bosch 283's from a 306 EVER.
RE: GTI brakes... bosch/lucas differences? - darrenjlobb - 04-02-2014
Dont argue with the welshpug piggy
Walking peugeot libary lol.
RE: GTI brakes... bosch/lucas differences? - Ruan - 04-02-2014
EARLY XSis had 266 Bosch calipers, but they're rare... 99.999% are Lucas...
I think the Bosch 283/285s are off a 406 and have the wrong offset.
RE: GTI brakes... bosch/lucas differences? - Piggy - 04-02-2014
The bosch calipers for 283 I have are from 206gti, 54mm piston though...so I do eat my words
RE: GTI brakes... bosch/lucas differences? - welshpug - 04-02-2014
late xsara VTS used 283 x 26 with bosch caliper, heavy bastards, total overkill too
