vRS and std Octavia Brake sizes?

DanSA · 16-01-2008, 00:18

Can anyone tell me what the brake sizes are for std and vRS Octavias pls.
Also do the calipers change (apart from getting red paint..)

Thanks

Mk 1 vRs - Front 312mm vented, rear 256mm vented.

Thanks, should have said tho - Mk2 pls.

Fronts on the Octy II RS are still 312mm but 5x112 and with a different offset to MKI.

Red and Green calipers on MKII are the same except for the colour.

DanSA · 16-01-2008, 21:48

What dictates red or green? (car colour?)

ALso how do these compare to std Octy?

**VRStu** · 16-01-2008, 21:52

Red was introduced on MY2007 and later cars.

I thought red calipers dictate a diesel and green a petrol, or maybe dealer lied to me!

Nothing like a dealer that knows his product.

As Stu said above MY07 change.

..............although why Skoda changed from Green to Red has never been established but rumoured to be a cost saving exercise.

**VRStu** · 17-01-2008, 16:46

I would think so, parts from the VW parts bin.

DanSA · 17-01-2008, 21:52

As important as the colour is...

Have we established the difference in rotor size vRS vs STD??

**VRStu** · 17-01-2008, 23:22

280x22 5/112 Front Teves

288x25 5/122 Front Teves

312x25 5/112 Front RS Fitment

255x10 5/112 Rear Lucas

260x12 5/112 Rear Lucas

286x10 5/112 Rear Lucas RS Fitment

well done Stu; knew we could rely upon you to come up with the goods!

May I put it another way;-

Standard - 280/255 or 288/260

vRS - 312/286

All in mm & front/rear.

The next question will be; what is the difference with the two 'standard' sizes? Is it just how they come off the production line or is it, say, the larger for TDI models?

**GAFF** · 18-01-2008, 21:30

As a matter of interest is the x12 x10 x22 x25 the thickness of the disc?

magic62 · 18-01-2008, 22:16

Yes it is. The thicker ones are the vented discs.
