Polo BlueGT brake upgrade questions

Post by PO10HEB »

Hi guys

I Bought a BlueGT a couple months ago, im wanting to upgrade the front and back discs, I bought some Brembos and they have supplied me with 310mm discs on the front and 228mm for the rears, am I right in thinking these won't be a straight swap as my standards ones are alot smaller?

Any help is much appreciated

228mm in the rear is considered a downgrade as the normal brake configuration offers 232mm rear discs
the front discs can be upgraded to 310/312mm with a different caliper carrier. and a different coding for your ABS module.

The carriers of a Polo 6R/6C GTI/WRC or seat/skoda/audi siblings with 312mm front brakes.

Can someone help me with the ABS coding after installing a 312mm brake kit from the Audi S1? I want to complete the installation in the most complete manner possible.
