Potentially. My service manuals also list the fn3 brake package as standard fitment which is the 288 setup with the bolt-on caliper carrier.

Question for a 66tdi owner, do your calipers have the bolt on carrier or is it cast as one piece with the hub spindle?

How do you tell the difference? I'm not really sure...

Have a look at the carrier arms. If they are part of the casting that contains the hub and the base of the strut then they aren't bolt on.

Ok I'll check when my sister gets back from Uni.

Does this help at all? I haven't had time to pull the wheel off yet, but the calliper says "FS-III".

That's weird. Maybe the diesels don't have the bigger brakes after all.

Depends on the engine. The 55TDI & 66TDI are fitted with 256 mm front discs, while the 77TDI has 288 mm front discs.

But of course, it's always best practice to visually check and verify before making any significant decisions or purchases.
