Re: Rear brake pads, with or without notch

In the end it was the non notch brake pad was fitted, don't think it would have made any difference though.

Are you doing the job yourself if so ask if you can take both and return the set that don't fit for a refund.
Thanks, yes will order both kits and just return the other kit, thanks for reply :-bd

Rear brake pads, with or without notch

I am about to order rear pads with discs but there are two options on the pads, its a notch on each side of the pad on one set.
I cant check the car before the weekend what pads are on it, any idea what pads to order ?

Thanks in advance !

(2.0 tdi estate 140bhp,, B7,, it has solid discs on the rear)
