Hi. i have a 2014 Peugeot 308SW MK2 115bhp.
Im trying to source a set of brake discs but apparently, they are 283mm, 4stud type.
I'd love anyone to put my 5 wheel bolts back on after i fit them!
trying to research this for myself is a nightmare similar diameter discs have wildly different hub shapes, theres 3 different diameters [and many more if you go down tothe precice millimeter!] , 2 digfferent stud patterns and 3 different fixing hole patterns.
how the hell do you find the correct one for my vehicle? they all come back as the correct one - which of course they cant be.

Are they using a generic image on their websites? |

Some of the “will this fit my vehicle?” Type things or vehicle specific online searches can be a bit dodgy. I usually find the opposite - they tell me they won’t fit when actually they will, because an older model will take the newer part but it was updated midway through a production run etc.
Have you tried checking with a dealer the part hasn’t been superseded with an updated one or taking the original (or a picture) into a local factor.
Not familiar with the vehicle, but I’m surprised you can’t find the right part using the vin etc

Take one of the originals to your favourite spares supplier or dealer and match from their stock? |

Why? Because it's French.
At least 3 different choices of braking systems fitted.
Measure the disc diameter, take the pads out and draw a picture of them.
Then head to your nearest motor factors.

From a quick look it seems you're falling in to a "Year break problem", in that 2014 was the last year of the first generation 308 SW and the first year of the second generation, and as you say the early cars had 4-stud wheels and the later ones 5-stud. It also looks like Peugeot, as they're known to, have about four different brake systems for the same car. If you do a parts search for a 2014 308SW (or use your number plate) then they generally only pick up the make, model, year, fuel type and engine size, which as you've found out matches up with both generations. There's a few ways around this: 1) Use a website like Autodoc which lets you manually select the exact generation of 308SW you need and then filter the results for the brake disc diameter you need. I'd make sure of the diameter of your existing discs first (pop a wheel off and measure it) and get the right size. Here's the autodoc listing for brake discs for a 2nd generation 308 SW 115bhp diesel www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/brake-disc-10132/peugeot/308/308-sw-ii/100647-1-6-hdi-1152) If you're using websites like Euro Car Parts or GSF, then I find the best thing to do is rather than using your number plate manually enter your make, model, engine size and fuel type but change the year to be 1 year before or after the year break as required. As yours is the 2nd generation then use 2015 as your year rather than 2014, which should narrow your selection down to 5-stud discs only. The downside is if you get it wrong they can argue you didn't order the "correct" parts for a 2014 car because you selected 2015, so be confident of your selection! 3) If you have a good motor factors then you can try using your vehicle VIN/chassis number to order parts, however this strongly depends on having a factors who can read and understand parts manuals, which is a rare breed these days 4) Try going to one of the big brake manufacturer sites (Ferodo/Brembo etc) and use their catalogue to find a part number for the correct discs and then search online for that part number. I ended up doing pretty much all of the above when I had a 2005 MK1 Focus 1.6 Petrol. Many online parts places couldn't differentiate between a MK1 1.6 petrol Focus and a MK2 1.6 Petrol Focus as both were on sale from Ford at the same time. My preferred option was to grab the registration number for an earlier 2003 Focus 1.6 as then you'd be guaranteed to get MK1 parts. |
