Good afternoon ladies and gents, new member here so id like to introduce myself and ask a stupid question. Have a 2016 A3 1.0 TFSI Sportback and everything so far is running great, however I ordered some from pads and discs from an on-line parts supplier after putting in all my details but the pads are a different size. Has anyone any idea how many different sizes there are and how to confirm if ever ordering on-line again........which I probably won't!!

Cheers

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂  

What was the supplier you ordered from? 

Hi Steve, autodoc. 

Apologies for jumping in on this, but why, why Autodoc? ECP next try!? 
Apart from having to pay post and packing as a disadvantage, they do seem to be good at supplying the wrong parts. 
What brands did you order?

Regards,

Gareth.

Yeah I've learnt the hard way not to use them, will try ECP next time if I ever order on-line again. 

Bless you - out of the frying pan, into the fire!
Seldom competitive.

What brands did you order from Autodoc? 

It was there own brand Ridex. Never heard of them, but we live and learn. 

Simply bought on price then!

Certainly not what I would recommend for renewing brake components. 

So apart from shaming me for but from Autodoc, does anyone have an answer lol

No shame intended Paul. Just respect for your wallet, and appreciation of buying quality parts at competitive prices. 
Recommendations:- have a look at Brembo from reputable EBay sellers. I’ve always had good service from Parts in Motion - if it helps.
