Just new to this site and i was wondering if anyone can help!

ive jst got hold of a 1992 Audi 80 Advant 2.0E

i seem to be getting different information regarding front brake disc size!

i checked on a parts store and they detail 256mm and 276mm or 280mm

can anyone tell me what the correct size is!

much apreciatedin advance!!

It could be any of the sizes you have mentioned if thats what is listed.
Best thing to do would be to either measure the disc yourself or remove it and take it to your local motor factors as a sample.

Cheers Marc
Had the disc off and it measures 276mm!
looks like thats the one!
Do you know why there is so many variants?

The listings probably aren't model specific.

It now has A8 323mm discs with Porsche 996 front calipers and S8 alloys.
RS2 front bumper and grille and some more stuff under the bonnet.
For specific S2 / RS2 information check out the S2forum.com :D

I fitted a clutch slave cylinder flexi hose to an S2 last week and went for a 'test drive' in it.
As fast as it was, it didn't drive as nice as my 80 TDi (but I would still have one if the opportunity arose lol) :)

Has that car got the ellipsoid headlights? Doesn't look like it.
Weren't they standard on all the S2's or was it an extra?

Just noticed the car behind has them :)

Late S2s had elipsoids, mine has now. ;)
Not all S2s drive the same, mine has H&R lowered springs, RS2 dampers and new wishbones with Mance Pro-mounts on the front.
