OEM Part Number: 7701205230 (genuine front disc — confirm via VIN) — aftermarket front discs Brembo 09.B352.11 / Bosch 0 986 479 552

Accuracy note: Covers the Renault Scenic (Mk4 2016-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Front brake discs are sold by diameter and thickness, and most models have two or three disc sizes depending on engine, brake size and trim — a 278 mm disc will not fit a car built with 300 mm brakes, so the caliper carrier and the disc must match. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with diameter x thickness in mm; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Measure the old disc or check the brake size against your VIN before ordering, replace discs in pairs with new pads, and scrap any disc at or below its minimum thickness.

Front brake discs (aftermarket)	Brembo 09.B352.11 (320 x 28 mm, vented, 5 holes, coated, high-carbon, min 25.4 mm, Prime line, bolts included); Bosch 0 986 479 552 (320 x 28 mm, vented, 5 holes, oiled, high-carbon, min 25.4 mm, ECE-R90); ATE 24.0128-0245.1 (320 x 28 mm, vented, 5 holes, coated, high-carbon, min 25.4 mm); TRW DF6208S (320 x 28 mm, vented, 5 holes, black painted); Zimmermann 470.2438.20 (320 x 28 mm, vented, 5 holes, Coat Z coated, high-carbon, min 25.4 mm); Zimmermann 470.2438.52 (320 x 28 mm, drilled and vented, 5 holes, Sport Coat Z, high-carbon, min 25.4 mm); Brembo 09.B352.1X (320 x 28 mm, drilled and vented, 5 holes, coated, high-carbon, min 26.1 mm, Xtra line)
Disc sizes & variants	A single front diameter of 320 x 28 mm vented is listed for the whole Scenic IV and Grand Scenic range, on a 5 x 114.3 PCD with a 68 mm centre bore. The only distinction between the options is coating and whether the disc is plain, drilled (Zimmermann and Brembo Xtra) or uncoated budget cast iron.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	7701205230 (genuine front disc number for this model — confirm via VIN, as several disc sizes exist)
Fitment notes	Every Scenic IV uses the 320 mm front disc regardless of engine, because of the model's large standard 20-inch wheels; the minimum thickness is 25.4 mm on plain discs and 26.1 mm on the drilled Brembo. febi bilstein 43949 is the same size with a 25.4 mm minimum. Ferodo DDF1727C and Delphi BG4266 are 320 mm discs listed without an axle position; Textar is rear-only.

A Genuine, Specific Fault Worth Knowing: Disc "Lipping" — Renault Scenic Brake Discs

If a service or MOT flags "lipping" on your discs, this is worth understanding rather than assuming it's the same as warping or corrosion: lipping refers to a raised ridge forming around the outer edge of the disc where the pad's contact area doesn't quite reach, gradually building up over normal wear. A genuine dealer quote for exactly this fault has been documented at £320 for discs and pads together — a real cost benchmark worth having when comparing quotes elsewhere.

A genuine, distinctive fault worth knowing about if you get a "BRAKE FAULT" message with a complete no-start: one documented case traced this exact combination to a corroded fuse link — a specific link fixed directly to the positive battery terminal inside a red plastic housing, distinct from the ordinary fuses in the fuse box. If you're getting a brake fault message alongside a no-start, this specific connection is worth checking before assuming a more complex ABS or brake system fault.

It's also worth knowing that parking a freshly washed car away, especially in an enclosed garage while still wet, is a well-documented cause of the rear brakes binding — moisture between the pad and disc surfaces, combined with the handbrake holding them together, can cause exactly this. Leaving the handbrake off (using a brick or leaving it in gear instead) until everything's had a chance to dry is worth doing.

Renault Scenic Brake Discs: The Part That Pads Depend On

On the Renault Scenic, because discs and pads wear as a pair, neglecting one speeds up wear on the other — which explains why a routine pad change so often turns up discs that are further gone than expected.

Before you buy: disc size and design vary by trim, engine size and whether your car has the standard or "sport" brake package. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Renault Scenic Brake Discs: What They Do

Brake discs provide the surface the brake pads clamp against to slow the car, converting momentum into heat through friction. Larger, sportier trims of the Scenic typically use bigger discs than standard versions to handle the additional heat generated by more aggressive braking.
