TL;DR — Our picks for VW Polo GT / Virtus GT / Taigun GT
Genuine Volkswagen — full warranty.
ATE Original or Textar Epad — Volkswagen OE suppliers. Best price-performance.
Ferodo DS Performance + ATE Power Disc slotted — proven VW Group community pick.
Why brake choice matters on this car
Polo GT TSI uses 256 mm front discs with single-piston floating calipers. Virtus / Slavia 1.5 TSI use 280 mm front. Taigun 1.5 TSI uses 280 mm front. All run rear drums on most trims.
OE pads are ATE / TRW / Textar / Pagid friction — all VW Group OE suppliers. As with Skoda, the smart play is "buy OES, not VW-boxed".

Common pitfalls on VW Polo GT / Virtus GT / Taigun GT
- Polo GT TSI front discs are smaller (256 mm) — do not order 280 mm Virtus/Taigun discs by mistake based on "VW" alone.
- Indian-market Polo GT / Virtus / Taigun do not have OE pad-wear sensors — do not pay extra for sensor-equipped pads if your car does not have the wiring.
- Avoid drilled discs on a daily-driven GT — they crack at the holes within 30–40k km of mixed road use.
- Polo GT / Virtus GT / Taigun GT use a cable EPB — manual piston retraction works for rear pad change, no VCDS needed.
What we need to quote the right brakes
We do not dispatch any brake part without first verifying the chassis number against the manufacturer catalogue — this is how we make sure the part that leaves our warehouse is the correct one for your car.
VIN / Chassis NumberRequired
17-character VIN from the windshield base, driver-side door jamb or RC book. Required — variants of the same model can use different brake parts.
Make, Model & YearRequired
For example: Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG (W212), 2014. Tells us which catalogue to check.
OE Part Number (if known)Bonus
Printed on the back-plate of the worn pad or on the disc edge — speeds up cross-reference and pricing.
Clear photo of the partBonus
A WhatsApp photo of the worn pad (back-plate side), disc edge and caliper helps confirm fitment for facelift / imported variants.
Every order is verified against your VIN / chassis number before dispatch, so a wrong-part shipment from our side is extremely rare. In the unlikely event that we ship a part that does not match the chassis number you shared, we will replace it at our cost. The only case where a return is not accepted is if the chassis / engine number itself was given incorrectly at the time of order — please double-check it from your RC book before confirming.
