G3,G4 Front Brake Disc (256mm Solid)

This 256mm solid front brake disc is a reliable replacement for a wide range of Volkswagen models fitted with PR code 1LL. Designed for front axle use, it restores safe, predictable braking performance on vehicles equipped with smaller solid disc setups, commonly found on automatic and convertible variants.

What this brake disc does

Front brake discs are the primary stopping components of the braking system. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure forces the caliper to clamp the brake pads onto the disc surface. The friction generated converts vehicle speed into heat, slowing the car safely and in a controlled manner.

This disc uses a solid construction, ideal for applications where braking loads are moderate. Solid discs offer dependable everyday performance, consistent pedal feel, and long service life when paired with the correct pads and calipers.

Construction & specifications

• Outer diameter: 256mm

• Disc thickness: 13mm

• Brake disc type: Solid

• Surface finish: Coated (anti-corrosion protection)

• Stud pattern: 4-hole

• Fitting position: Front axle

The protective coating helps reduce corrosion on the non-friction surfaces, improving longevity and keeping the hub area cleaner—particularly useful in damp or winter driving conditions.

Fitment & compatibility

Suitable for the following applications fitted with PR code 1LL and within the listed chassis limits:

• VW Caddy II – 1.4, 1.6 petrol and 1.9 diesel models (11/1995 – 06/2009), up to chassis number 9KT514500

• VW Golf Mk3 – 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 petrol and 1.9 diesel models (08/1991 – 12/1999)

  • Automatic models from chassis 1HS246941

  • Convertible models up to chassis 1ET030000

• VW Golf Mk4 Convertible – 1.8 and 2.0 petrol models (08/1997 – 06/2014) up to chassis 1ET030000

• VW Passat B3 / B4 –

  • Petrol models up to chassis 3AT130756

  • Diesel models up to chassis 3AS300000

  • Model years 02/1988 – 05/1997

• VW Vento – 1.6, 1.8 petrol and 1.9 diesel models (11/1991 – 09/1998), automatic models from chassis 1HS430001

Always check PR codes and chassis numbers before ordering, as many of these vehicles were also available with larger vented front brake setups.

Recommended additional parts

For best results and safe braking performance, we recommend fitting:

• Front brake pads matched to 256mm solid discs

• Brake disc retaining screws

• Brake pad fitting kit / anti-rattle clips (where applicable)

Front brake discs should always be replaced in axle pairs to maintain even braking and correct pedal feel.
