OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — front discs (aftermarket) Brembo 09.9167.11 / Bosch 0 986 479 098

Accuracy note: Covers the Skoda Yeti (2009-2017) 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.

Confirmed: A Genuine, Well-Documented VW Group Corrosion Pattern — Skoda Yeti Brake Discs

Across Skoda and wider VW Group owner forums, one theme repeats with remarkable consistency: OEM brake discs have a documented reputation for corroding and pitting considerably faster than quality aftermarket alternatives, particularly on the rear axle. Multiple owners who've switched to reputable aftermarket brands (Pagid and Napa Proformer both specifically mentioned across VW Group forums) report the corrosion problem disappearing entirely after fitting, suggesting this is genuinely more about the OEM disc material and coating than an inevitable characteristic of the car itself.

A genuine tip directly from a VW Group dealer, worth trying: braking a little harder toward the end of a journey after driving in rain helps keep the discs hot enough to resist corrosion building up — rear discs in particular do less work than the fronts and don't always get hot enough on their own to shed off moisture and light surface rust before it takes hold.

It's worth knowing dealers frequently treat corrosion-related disc replacement as chargeable "wear and tear" excluded from warranty, even on cars just a couple of years old with genuinely low mileage — but this isn't always the final word, and escalating a formal complaint in writing to Skoda customer services has resulted in goodwill contributions for other VW Group owners facing the same pattern.

Skoda Yeti Brake Discs: The Part That Pads Depend On

On the Skoda Yeti, 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.

Skoda Yeti 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 Yeti typically use bigger discs than standard versions to handle the additional heat generated by more aggressive braking.
