P3 V70 T6 rotor size?

TwoFourFour

So I am probably being a little bit lazy, but I need some rotors and pads pretty soon; Is there any way to tell without physically removing and measuring whether my V70 has the 316mm or the 336mm front rotors? They have visually the same calipers so that isn't much of a help.
Do Aus delivered cars have both sizes or just one?

Go by the VIN

Ok, but where do I use that for confirmation? None of the brake vendors have any data that deep in their listings.

The likes of Berry Motor Group can help.

Dealers may do it too.

@TwoFourFour honestly the best way is to measure. The rotors will likely also have their part numbers etched on the outermost edge of the rotor. I've been burned too many times to not measure!

With these models you can measure but everything is in the VIN code on Volvo software, probably in VIDA as well.

Mate, pull the wheel of the car and have a look! You will mind most T6s have the 316mm and the V8s have the 336mm

You can also do an upgrade if preferred by changing the calipers which is a PITA ! Check FCP for the kit.

Anth Oh I didn't realise it would be stamped in there. I'll check that out! I'm waiting on the local dealer parts guy to get back with a reference off the VIN too. Mostly I'm hoping I can square it away before Christmas but I don't have any opportunity to jack the car up for a week or so.

My read on the brake setup is we can probably go 316 to 336 just by changing rotors, carriers and possibly dust shields (some are saying the difference is negligible enough not to swap the shields out…). I guess that's a next set of brakes job after this.

If close or can wait for post Berry Motor Group will have the bigger set up and new discs at hand.
