For The Boffins in The Know,

I'm fairly sure that the 6N2 Tdi has the bigger brakes on them (256mm) the same as the valver ones, would i be correct in saying that. ie the callipers are different from the 8v ones?

the bigger brakes have a Lucas/Girling caliper as opposed to a VW Type II

lol i was thinking that afterwards. The difference is in the mounting points, and the way the caliper holds the pads in place for reference
