| Disc sizes & variants | Two front diameters are listed on the 5 x 112 PCD with a 65 mm centre bore. The 288 x 25 mm vented disc is the fitment for the 1.0 TSI 115 and 1.6 TDI 115, while the 312 x 25 mm vented disc is fitted to the 1.5 TSI 150, 2.0 TSI 190 4x4 and 2.0 TDI 150 including 4x4 and Sportline models. |
| Genuine (OE) numbers quoted | None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine discs against your VIN |
| Fitment notes | Both sizes share a 22 mm minimum thickness (Ferodo quotes 23 mm for its 312 mm disc), so the decision rests on engine and whether the car has four-wheel drive. Drilled Brembo Xtra discs are offered in both sizes (09.9145.1X and 09.9772.1X, min 22.8 mm) and a slotted 288 mm (09.9145.75). |
Confirmed: A Genuine, Well-Documented VW Group Corrosion Pattern — Skoda Karoq Brake Discs
Across Skoda and wider VW Group owner forums, one theme repeats with remarkable consistency: OEM brake discs have a documented reputation for corroding and pitting considerably faster than quality aftermarket alternatives, particularly on the rear axle. Multiple owners who've switched to reputable aftermarket brands (Pagid and Napa Proformer both specifically mentioned across VW Group forums) report the corrosion problem disappearing entirely after fitting, suggesting this is genuinely more about the OEM disc material and coating than an inevitable characteristic of the car itself.
It's worth knowing dealers frequently treat corrosion-related disc replacement as chargeable "wear and tear" excluded from warranty, even on cars just a couple of years old with genuinely low mileage — but this isn't always the final word, and escalating a formal complaint in writing to Skoda customer services has resulted in goodwill contributions for other VW Group owners facing the same pattern.

Skoda Karoq 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 Karoq typically use bigger discs than standard versions to handle the additional heat generated by more aggressive braking.
