I believe the Seat Part numbers are Rear axle : 1K0615601AA Front axle: 1K0615301AA
So try Googling those

Hello Morgan. Try this site. https://www.ebcbrakeshop.co.uk
I hope to visit your country in a couple weeks. Trying to get my back sorted. Then I want to drive 3 weeks though Sweden and Norway to the Nordkapp.

Morgan2421 - when you say that the original brake discs are poor quality, are you simply referring to their stopping power? I have to admit that I had concerns for my car when I first got it but the brakes did improve as soon as they were bedded in. I see your car is 2017 so that can't be the issue.

Out of interest, could discs with greater stopping power actually destabilise a car under heavy braking?. I always assumed cars these days are engineered to the point where the suspension is fully aligned with the braking and steering. Maybe we're only talking about a marginal improvement which won't have such a dramatic impact.

That's both intriguing and concerning. Given that your car (and mine) and both from 2017, how many miles have you managed to clock up to wear out a pair of discs in such a short period? Many main dealers will start pressuring for new ones somewhere around 40,000 miles (my previous Audi A3). In fact, at every annual service I was told my discs would need changing in 10,000 miles. That happened about 5 times :roll: . I never did change them in the end and they were perfectly good up until I got rid of it with mileage around 95,000. Add to that, I still had the same pads with plenty to spare.

That's around 33,000 miles. I have my car on a 4 year PCP deal and I do 10,000 miles a year. There's no way I'm agreeing to change my discs before it goes back. Like I said earlier, main dealers push to have the work done but I would question whether it's necessary at such a low mileage or get a second opinion before wasting your money. That's just the way I would approach it.

i changed my front discs at around 32000 km and i asked at seat dealers and one vw dealer they say its no warranty job
you proberly drove the discs hot and then in a puddle
so i changed my discs my self and bought bosch to the front axle
i have a boat and a trailer not a big boat just 460 long that i tow a maybe 10-15 time in a year that proberly wear the discs down a bit
but still not ok i had subaru and volvos and saab that have 4 times the milage and better looking discs and the warrenty covers discs for them
but everyt thing else is really nice about the car

Thanks Morgan. Where are you located? I will get up there one day even if it isn't this year. Looks beautiful. And I curse the rain! I also ride motorcycles and it rains too often here in Germany.

Hey Morgan. We are on our way to the Nordkapp. Maybe we come through your town on the way back down .

Hey Morgan2421
Greetings from Scotland!
I have the same problem with my 2016 Ateca SE Ecomotive. The discs are rusty and need to be replaced. My loacal independent garage has twice tried to change the discs but have been unable to find discs to fit the car. The current discs are around 60mm in height but replacements from 60 different suppliers/manufacturers (including VAG) are all 48.3mm.

Did you find a solution for your car?
Jim
