S8 rear dust shields 335mm discs
 
on my A8 the part numbers are 4E0 615 611A & 4E0 615 612A = 312mm

i need the bigger ones now for 335mm discs and researching i recon ive found some but does the last letter mean anything and will these fit the bigger discs please ?

3D0 615 611C & 3D0 615 612C = VW Pheaton

3D0 615 611A & 3D0 615 612A = Bentley GT / S8

are these all the same for 335mm rear discs ?

this has been doing my head in........so
 
TPS = £140 the pair ..mmmmmmmm..

right so,

i re-fitted the old dust shields and they are a lot bigger than the old std discs...
so then i tried to fit the new 335mm discs as they are almost the same size as the dust shields...
but
the new discs catch but not much,so i hit the dust shield carefully with a sledge hammer all the way around to re-shape it and leave a gap behind the discs...

the 335mm discs now fit and so there is NO need to buy the bigger dust shields

Job done ;)

You've already sorted the problem, but for confirmation the part numbers you provided are specc'ed for all but the W12. The 280, 310 and 335mm disks use them. The oddball one is the armoured version which uses 356mm disks (PR-1KU) but uses the smaller shield.
