Quick VW golf brake question

AHarvey · 2 Jun 2011 at 12:23

Hi all,

need to order some rear pads for the a 2003 mk4 1.6 golf.

For some reason GSF won't let me register, well it will but no email etc. So tried Eurocar parts, put in the reg number and get a list of brake pads.

Upon checking them all it shows that they are for a 1.6 2003 automatic, ours is a manual. Front pads show auto + manual, but rears all say automatic with no mention of manual.

Used their support system to email them, although you can only write about 2 lines.

No response.

Can anyone here confirm that even though they say auto that they will also fit the manual car?

i think there is a possibility they could be different. why not ring a main dealer parts dept?

Can't use mobiles at work, so stuck until home time and really need to get them ordered asap.

Not today I don't, meetings all day but thanks for the really helpful input in to this thread.

Thanks bat

EDIT: Found a live chat option, on eurocar parts, they state it'll work, now, just got to decide on the brands,

GSF took a couple of weeks to reply to me, was typical as I needed a Speedo cable quick urgently.

Cool. Don't go bargain basement IMO as it's a false economy.
