3.2 vented disc rear pad pins... same as 3.0 plain disc ones???
« on: 12 July 2012, 20:29:52 »
Title says it all really.

[2003 saloon 3.2]

Changing my rear pads this evening and noticed the pins/anti-rattle wotnots are past their prime... So does anyone know if the vented ones are longer - logically they would be! ;)

thanks

Different lengths accordingly. You need the correct ones.

As others said, although the pads themselves are the same, the 'fitting kit' (pins and spring) are different between vented and non vented.

Thanks for the replies - I've ordered the kit listed for the 3.2, so fingers crossed they'll be the ones!?!?!  ::)
