Can anyone tell me, will the rear brake discs from a Megane 225 fit the 197?

Cheers

Thanks Pav, I cannot seem to find anything specific?

AS far as I know the shake your ass (225 lookalike) DCI175 Megane discs are listed fit direct, the other models 225, 230 (F1) people have fitted but no one lists them as direct fit it might be something stupid like the internal diameter of the wheel bearing or that it needs centred slightly I know the Apec braking tech doc's say something about checking the left/right position of the bearing while fitting

By the spec sheets the wheel bearing is different sizes and overall height of the disc.

Ok thanks for that, it looks like MTEC do not do the rears anymore...

I bought these from Ebay, i did check with the seller (a-z) and he confirmed they were the correct ones, can anyone verify?

I don't think they are the right ones the 197 should be 270mm and a 25mm bearing, You bought the larger 300mm with 30mm bearing which I think fit Megane 225 & F1. I did post the diagrams again I could be wrong but looked up the Dialogys program and the rear wheel bearing is 25mm and Renault parts direct show the rear discs as 197/200 and Megane 175 so it's looking like the disks you ordered are wrong but let us know.

I cant tell you if they'll fit......

I can tell you i've purchased from this seller before - and i don't think you'll have trouble with a refund (Fingers crossed).

Clio's have the 300mm disc aswell. Only difference is in the bearing. Meg 225's have 25mm inners and clio's have 30mm in race diameter. R26 does have 30mm afaik

So will they fit?

 

[Tutuur]

If you have the ones woth 30mm inner race than yes

 

[6705russell]

Well these are the rears, 30mm inner diameter, let's hope they fit!

Well the costs are shooting up as we speak, the lads have stripped the rears down and the near side caliper is well and truly stuck, just ordered a new one from Eurocarparts, also the handbrake cables are shot and need replacing, costs to date are:

Front discs/pads - £130.00
Rear discs/pads - £190.00
Front spring - £100.00
Nearside caliper - £120.00
Handbrake calipers - £64.00

Just waiting for the garage bill now......

Ouch, sorry to hear this Russell it's never a pleasant time when a few things go wrong at once. On the plus side, it should be fine for a good while now on the brakes side of things.

 

[6705russell]

Th good thing is Euro got me the caliper within 4 hours from ordering, bad thing is main dealer have let me down on the handbrake cables but still hoping they might turn up today, if so the lads can finsih the works off in the morning....

Its gonna feel special once done Russell

Console your wallet with that thought........
