I thought it was compulsory to have @Nutexa Frictions gear? Is it not a condition of membership? Are Russ and Jan back off their holidays yet? Lovely folk!

Evening All,

Just put some new 20" gloss black alloys on T6.1 30 and was told that I need to replace my rear discs and pads soon.

Just been on Eurocar parts and there a variety of brands available with a significant price difference.

They include from
Eicher
Bosch
Brembo
ATE
Pagid.

I'm also aware that nutexa is mentioned on a frequent basis on the forum.

Any suggestions guys? What is don't want is a shed load a break dust coating the wheels!!

 

[Chippie1]

I’m going to give nutexa frictions ago next time around seem to be getting great reviews from folk on here which to me is real reviews plus I’ve tried a few from your list above and haven’t been blown away

 

[Dellmassive]

Nutexa if you want from the forum.

Or Pagid from ECP.

Go for the nutexa, you won’t regret it. Done my front and rears, not only are they better than what came off they also look amazing! Simple enough to do I just forgot to take any photos

Hi all.
Have 2016 T6 Kombi with 16" wheels. Used main dealer until two years ago. Now have mate doing maintenance (He has use of his employer's workshop after hours and has done quite a few little jobs for me (glow plugs, wheel bearings oil changes etc.)
He did front pads last year, I didn't think to ask for genuine parts, they cost £18 and work ok but are not as 'sharp' as what VW were fitting.
Am planning on changing all discs and pads as the discs are lipped and close to limit.

I have looked at the brands listed below cheapest FB most expensive ATE
Any recommendations please?

Febi Billstein
BREMBO
ATE

If you felt the original VW parts were sharp then go back to that. You know it works, there's no risk, sorted.

 

[JOG]

@Nutexa Frictions is the way to go!

Another vote for @Nutexa Frictions, recently put them on my 5.1 camper, I bought the dimpled ones and they’re much better than what came off

EuroCarParts have the best selection and prices with discount codes. I’ve always used Brembo with zero issues. Personal choice in the end

Hi All!

Hoping you can help me out if I am ordering the right parts for my T6, bought it not too long ago, but the all discs + Pads definitely need replacement.
Local garages/Dealers are too expensive if you ask me and I am getting help from an mechanic in private.

Maybe someone else in the future can also benefit from this, but would these parts be the right parts?

A question upfront;

• I assume that my front brakes are at 308mm, but when I use a VIN checker, I have 2 options, 308 and 340 diameter, apart from taking the wheel of (since it is a shitstorm outside), is there another way to be sure?

Some info about the car
Volkswagen T6 2017 TSI 2.0 (SGJ) - LWB
VIN: wv2zzz7HzJH061844
Motorcode: CJKB
Year: 2017 (2018 if you search via VIN)

Hi Everyone,

Due to some other priorities and the mechanic mentioning, "Well it's better to wait, they arent gone yet" I delayed this part.
Now, after driving an additional 20.000km, Its time to change them.

- I am wondering if I should go Bosch or Brembo, any pro's or Cons? (I see the alternatives, but I'll do that next time)
- And, do I need the ones including the Wear sensor? Is that default on a van like mine?

Thanks! Hope someone can give me some pointers.
