Renault Zoe Brake Discs: Specs, Fitment & Wear Symptoms

On the Zoe, a genuine, specific disc fault called "lipping" comes with a real cost figure — plus a distinctive corroded fuse link that causes a total no-start "BRAKE FAULT".

OEM Part Number: 77 01 210 081 SK (as quoted in catalogue listings — confirm via VIN) — aftermarket front discs Brembo 09.9078.21 / Bosch 0 986 479 C17

Accuracy note: Covers the Renault Zoe (2012-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Front brake discs are sold by diameter and thickness, and most models have two or three disc sizes depending on engine, brake size and trim — a 278 mm disc will not fit a car built with 300 mm brakes, so the caliper carrier and the disc must match. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with diameter x thickness in mm; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Measure the old disc or check the brake size against your VIN before ordering, replace discs in pairs with new pads, and scrap any disc at or below its minimum thickness.

Front brake discs (aftermarket)	Bosch 0 986 479 C17 (258 x 22 mm, vented, 4 holes, coated, high-carbon, min 19.8 mm, 61 mm centre, ECE-R90); ATE 24.0122-0270.1 (258 x 22 mm, vented, 4 holes, coated, high-carbon, min 19.8 mm, 4 x 100 PCD); TRW DF6186 (258 x 22 mm, vented, 4 holes, black painted, min 19.8 mm); Brembo 09.9078.21 (258 x 22 mm, vented, 4 holes, coated, min 19.8 mm, Prime line); Bosch 0 986 479 C62 (280 x 24 mm, vented, 5 holes, coated, high-carbon, min 21.8 mm, 68 mm centre, ECE-R90); ATE 24.0124-0221.1 (280 x 24 mm, vented, 5 holes, coated, high-carbon, min 21.8 mm, 5 x 114.3 PCD); Brembo 09.A727.11 (280 x 24 mm, vented, 5 holes, coated, high-carbon, min 21.8 mm, 120 Nm torque); TRW DF6072 (280 x 24 mm, vented, 5 holes, black painted, min 21.8 mm)
Disc sizes & variants	Two front sizes are listed. The 258 x 22 mm vented disc on a 4 x 100 PCD with a 61 mm centre bore is the fitment for the earlier and lower-output Zoe (the 65 kW and 68 kW Q210/R240 cars), while the 280 x 24 mm vented disc on a 5 x 114.3 PCD with a 68 mm centre bore is for the later and higher-output cars (R90/R110 and the ZE 40 and ZE 50 battery models). A 280 x 24 mm disc on a 4-stud 61 mm hub (Brembo 09.A727.31 and Ridex 82B1223) is also listed as a transitional variant.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	febi bilstein 39477 (258 x 22 mm, vented, 4 holes, coated) quotes OE 77 01 210 081 SK; no other OE numbers quoted
Fitment notes	Count the wheel studs before ordering, since Zoe production moved from 4-stud to 5-stud hubs and the 280 mm disc exists in both patterns; minimum thickness is 19.8 mm on the 258 mm disc and 21.8 mm on the 280 mm disc. Ridex 82B1223 is limited to cars built up to November 2016. The drilled Brembo 09.A727.1X (280 mm, min 22.4 mm) is the only drilled option.

A Genuine, Specific Fault Worth Knowing: Disc "Lipping" — Renault Zoe Brake Discs

If a service or MOT flags "lipping" on your discs, this is worth understanding rather than assuming it's the same as warping or corrosion: lipping refers to a raised ridge forming around the outer edge of the disc where the pad's contact area doesn't quite reach, gradually building up over normal wear. A genuine dealer quote for exactly this fault has been documented at £320 for discs and pads together — a real cost benchmark worth having when comparing quotes elsewhere.

A genuine, distinctive fault worth knowing about if you get a "BRAKE FAULT" message with a complete no-start: one documented case traced this exact combination to a corroded fuse link — a specific link fixed directly to the positive battery terminal inside a red plastic housing, distinct from the ordinary fuses in the fuse box. If you're getting a brake fault message alongside a no-start, this specific connection is worth checking before assuming a more complex ABS or brake system fault.

It's also worth knowing that parking a freshly washed car away, especially in an enclosed garage while still wet, is a well-documented cause of the rear brakes binding — moisture between the pad and disc surfaces, combined with the handbrake holding them together, can cause exactly this. Leaving the handbrake off (using a brick or leaving it in gear instead) until everything's had a chance to dry is worth doing.

Renault Zoe Brake Discs: The Part That Pads Depend On

On the Renault Zoe, these two components wear together, and letting one go too long accelerates wear on the other, which is why a simple pad swap so often reveals discs that need replacing at the same time.

Before you buy: disc size and design vary by trim, engine size and whether your car has the standard or "sport" brake package. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Renault Zoe Brake Discs: What They Do

Brake discs provide the surface the brake pads clamp against to slow the car, converting momentum into heat through friction. Larger, sportier trims of the Zoe typically use bigger discs than standard versions to handle the additional heat generated by more aggressive braking.
