G5,G6 Front Brake Disc (280mm Vented)

This 280mm vented front brake disc is a direct-replacement component for VW Golf Mk5 and Mk6 models fitted with the factory 280mm front braking system. Manufactured to original VW specifications, it delivers dependable stopping power, effective heat control, and long service life—ideal for everyday driving and standard restorations.

With a 22mm thickness, 5-stud fixing, and a protective coated finish, this disc is intended for vehicles identified by specific VW PR brake codes, ensuring correct fitment.


Primary Fitment – Golf Mk5 & Mk6 (PR Code Specific)

VW Golf V (2003–2009)

PR Codes: 1ZF or 1ZM

  • Engines: 1.4, 1.6, 2.0 petrol

  • Diesels: 1.9 TDI, 2.0 TDI

VW Golf VI (2008–2016)

PR Codes: 1ZF or 1ZM

  • Engines: 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 petrol

  • Diesels: 1.6 TDI, 2.0 TDI

Always confirm the PR code on the vehicle data sticker (service book or boot floor). Golf Mk5/Mk6 models were also available with 288mm or 312mm front brakes.

Why the 280mm Disc Is Used

The 280mm vented disc offers a well-balanced setup for lighter Mk5/Mk6 variants. The vented internal channels improve cooling during repeated braking, while the coated surface protects non-friction areas from corrosion, extending disc life and keeping the hub area tidy behind alloy wheels.


Other Compatible Volkswagen Models & PR Codes

This disc is also fitted to the following models when equipped with the listed PR codes:

  • VW Beetle (5C) (2011–2019) – PR Codes 1ZM or 1ZQ

  • VW Caddy III (2004–2015) – PR Codes 1ZF or 1ZM

  • VW Golf Plus (2004–2014) – PR Codes 1ZF or 1ZM

  • VW Jetta III (2004–2010) – PR Code 1ZM

  • VW Jetta IV (2010–2018) – PR Codes 1ZM or 1ZQ

Brake specifications can vary by engine and market—verify PR code and disc diameter before ordering.


How the Front Brake Disc Works

Under braking, the caliper clamps the pads against the rotating disc, converting motion into heat via friction. The vented design allows air to circulate between disc faces, reducing heat build-up and helping maintain consistent braking performance in daily use.


RHD Fitment Notes

  • Fitting position: Front axle

  • Suitable for both right-hand (driver’s side) and left-hand (passenger side) positions on right-hand-drive vehicles


Recommended Additional Parts

For best results and safety, we recommend fitting:

  • New front brake pads

  • New caliper carrier bolts (single-use on many models)

  • Brake pad wear sensor (if fitted)

Front brake discs should always be replaced in axle pairs to ensure even braking.
