Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Rear brake rotor size help

    Hey guys,
    Trying to source new rotors for my 2000 MK4 golf AKL 1.6L S.E. I've tried a couple different places and got mixed responses on the size/what will fit. I have semi purchased some rotors off ebay and am not sure if they will fit now. My car came stock with 14inch rims. The ebay add specifies 15inch models but from the research I've done the size/specs of the rotors look like what I need. Any help confirming these will fit/not? I would measure my current ones although I am not with the car until next week. Link below of what I have bought.

    If it's still got the original discs on it, pull a wheel off, and give the 'hat' of the disc a good clean. The part number will be etched on the steel. It'll start with 1J0 most likely.

    Otherwise, find the data label, which will be stuck to the boot floor, next to the spare, and in the front cover of the service book, and look for the PR numbers 1KY, 1KQ, 1KW, 1KS, 1KV, or 1KK. One of those will detirmine what rear brakes it has, and how to match it up in the parts catalogue.

    Volkswagens are a nightmare to get brake parts for non-genuine, if your supplier can't match it all up using your VIN.

      according to some mk4 brake pages you should have
      Rear: 232mm x 9mm (9.1" x .35") Solid Rotor
      rotor part number: 1J0-615-601-C

      But you should really check with your own car to be sure
