Hi all
My 2000 16V 1.2 punto 188(manual) needs new front brake discs and I think I should renew the pads at the same time. The discs are 257mm dia and it seems easy enough to find the correct size discs to replace these, but pads seem less clear.
I can see different size pads offered by the stockists, all saying they will fit a 2000 188 punto, but sizes varying from 151.5x52mm (17.8mm thick) to 105x66.5mm (thickness 17.1mm). The notes indicate the different sizes are due to cars having teves or Bendix brakes, and of course I don’t know which my car has!
Can anyone advise on how to be sure of the size required, as I’d prefer not to have to disassemble and remove the pads to measure them before getting replacements lined up. Thanks all.
