Hi everyone. Does anybody know what the minimum thickness is on the brake discs of a Polo 1.4 6N2 2001?

Part no.s for........

discs

pads

rear brake shoes?

Discs new 18mm wear limit 16mm

6N0698151C Front pads


6N0615301C Brake Disc (vent) 239X18 4/100

N 90329205 allen key head bolt M8X59 /

The Allen bolts are for the front calipers, they are often a swine to remove and the heads round out !!

Thanks for the above info Nige 8021. The reason I needed them is because my lad who is 19 this month is taking a vehicle mechanics course at college and the Polo I've been asking questions about is a birthday present from me. While he is taking his driving lessons I am getting him to check things on his own car and if a simple fix, let him fix it. That way he'll get more experience and give him some responsibility.

I have registered with vagcat.com and just waiting for a verification email.

Once again, thanks for your help.

Keeping the above dimensions in mind, anyone who wishes to skim their discs in the lath, need to remember that run-out is just as important as minimum thickness.

For this reason, it is better to mount the disc away from the headstock, in order that a cut can be taken from each face of the disc without removing it from the lath. This will almost certainly mean making a dummy hub on which to mount it.

Regards
