Author: Kersh, Location: Bridgnorth, Nr WolverhamptonPosted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 3:49 am ---- no idea to be honest mate. ive only got mintex pads on mine and a mechanic mate sourced them. the only helpful advice i can give is that from my experience with 2 206's that their brake setups really vary and your best bet is to go take a look as soon as possible and try to work it out from there. or phone a peugeot garage for advice

Author: mickbhal, Location: homePosted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 6:33 am ---- Cheers il leave the mintex alone also heard they cause alot of dust, Any recommendations? would not mind some ferodos but cant fin any the Gti Bosch callipers. The discs i am now going for is the brembo maxs.

I measured the pads on my car and looks like its the 137mm, and service box shows I need the 166x22 discs.
If you have your vin number, check what service box says, or put it here and someone can check for you.
#7: Re: 206 Gti mintex brakes? Author: Locky, Location: Newcastle / PlymouthPosted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 7:41 am ---- Oh and from what I have read on here, the Brembo Max with Ferodo pads are the way to go.
#8: Re: 206 Gti mintex brakes? Author: mickbhal, Location: homePosted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 12:07 pm ---- Cheers service box says 20.5 for discs for mine. Which im sure i read was the old ones. I have sourced some Frodo pads on ebay think the pads i need are 131mm. The person en Ebay is saying you can go buy the engine code. What setup u looking Locky

The piccy from service box for the discs says Diam 266 EP22 so although i dont quite know what EP means, im taking it to mean i need the 22 and not the 20.5.
I measured my pads as you can see on the link i posted.
So did service box say EP20.5 for yours?
Im all torn between just getting stock stuff or the bremmy frodo combo.
Probs selling the car soon so maybe going stock.
#10: Re: 206 Gti mintex brakes? Author: Locky, Location: Newcastle / PlymouthPosted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 1:51 pm ---- So im starting to think it 266x20.5 with 131 pads on pre plex as yours is 2000 and 266x22 with 137 pads on 2001+ multiplex like mine.
#11: Re: 206 Gti mintex brakes? Author: mickbhal, Location: homePosted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 2:29 pm ---- I think u right about the plex years. Yeah service box says 20.5 for me and using my reg at euro car parts comes up with the 131s standard pads. On service box check your engine number and compare it to the pads on ebay in your thread. i looking for the ds forodo pads cant find either flavour gonna ring few on Monday with vin see what they know as i heard the 1.6xs has the same callipers. If tour selling i would just put basic ones on. Who of thought sourcing breaks would be so so troublesome.
