Furyblade_Lee 2 Posted February 20, 2014 Has anyone got a part number for these front pads on an E reg 1.6 Gti? Phase 1.5 I assume ( I have the later dashboard ) ? Can only see ones advertised upto 1987? Do they change after that or something? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furyblade_Lee 2 Posted February 21, 2014 OK then , did the 1.6 Gti change pad design after 1987? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 243 3 Cars Posted February 21, 2014 I think they should be MDB1291, only reason I can see why they list the dates until mid 1987 is because of the engine change to 115bhp XU5JA from the 105bhp XU5J. Both of my 1988 1.6 GTI's had Bendix front brakes. g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted February 21, 2014 Be careful on any listing's, I'm sure when I have supplied these they are listed for something else and not a 205 but this is Mintex all over so nothing to worry about, If you need a set I can look into it for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furyblade_Lee 2 Posted February 23, 2014 Miles if you could mate that would be great, I need a set ASAP! Cheers, Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furyblade_Lee 2 Posted February 23, 2014 Had a look at the calipers earlier, and they definitely have " Bendix" written on them so should I be OK with the '87 ones? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 243 3 Cars Posted February 26, 2014 I got the number posted above from the Mintex brake book MDB1291 Supersedes: MDB1215 Fitting Position: Front Axle; Manufacturer Restriction: Bendix Brake System: Bendix; Width [mm]: 105; Height [mm]: 54.3; Thickness [mm]: 18; Wear Warning Contact: with integrated wear sensor g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
