good go to a parts suplier with Leon cupra R disk and see if the golf 16v 256 vented disk is the same if it is you are sorted then all need is the polo 4 stud hub and stub axle or a polo hub with the leon stub axle and lupo p/n6E0501466A or 6E0501465A bracket but have not tryed last one
interesting, would be nice to know if the 1.3 MK2 Golf 239x10mm solid disc fits, they're almost 10 cheaper than the polo specific 232x9mm discs!
yes it is fun you shoud say that as i was given two options for the polo disk's one was 239x10 and the other was 232x9 i dont think part numbers are the same but that would be to eazy would it not i could measure the polo disk tomorrow if that would help
yeah thats not the issue in question, we know polo discs fit polo hubs What I wanted to know is if you can use MK2 1.3 solid front discs instead as they're lots cheaper!
hear is the mesuments for a 232x9 polo disk will messure a 239x20 golf gti disk tomorrow it just the thickness that is different from the 239x10 disk all the other measurements are the same
The Polo disc is 39.5mm thick overall. The 239x10mm and 239x20mm mk2 front discs are 39mm. The spigot size is the same at 65mm.
yes that what i thought i have tryed 239x20 on the polo hub in the past it fitted fine so all front disk's that fit a mk2 golf ex will fit the polo hub ie 239x10 / 239x20 / 256x20 / 280x22 and with the caliper from golf m4 with vented disk on the rear like the 4motion you can fit 239x20 disk's and with the carrier from the same you can fit the 256x20 and if you get a converson from eurospec you can go 280x22 a bit of overkill but it could be done
main thing i'm worried about is the diameter, is there enough room under the caliper for the extra 7mm going from 232 to 239.
no only space for 237.88mm at the carrier so it would need work to fit ie turn the disk down to 232mm or grind the carrier
the same with the vented disk the carrier would need widend and thars not anuff metal for the pad to sit on then
no difference handling wise and it is easier to change the brake disk plus the wheel bearing shoud be stronger and last longer this was the hole reason for the change the overall track is the same with polo parts i used and the MK2 carrier and calliper fit straight on with a longer bolt the later polo/lupo setup with the p/n6E0501466A and 6E0501465A brackets may require diffrent carriers from polo/lupo mk4 golf or seat Leon of that date if you want to fitt biger brakes from Leon cupra R the later setup would probably be needed
Just out of interest. Does anybody know if there are any drilled and or groved rear disc available. Also best place to buy said items.
This is interesting, so if for example i have converted to 5x100 on my mk2 can i use the complete rear brake setup from say a seat cupra r on my mk2? (stub axle/vented disks/callipers/carriers)
yes but not with the polo stub axle i used you have to use p/n6E0501466A and 6E0501465A brackets then use complete stub axle and brakes from the seat cupra r the brackets just bolt inbtween the beam and the stub axle this is becuse the brake carrier on cupra and golf mk4 is wider at the point it bolts on as it is bolting on to rear beam insted of the stub axle the v5 golf has the same brake as the seat cupra r EDIT mk4 stub axles and hub do not fit polo or golf mk1/2/3 rearbeams or polo 6n stub axles and not cupra r??? thanks for that ryanp 27/01/2009
i think it's only the quattro that had the 256x22 rear brake's skoda's Octavia rs have them to and in funky green check this site out vagcat it free to register
