I know this because when I did the front brakes on my 2014 CTTS (390mm front rotors; steel (not PCCB)), I noticed that most parts sites listed two types of caliper bolts, which I've come to refer to as "short" and "long." |
I found out the hard way that my 2014 base came with 360mm rotors.
I ordered 350mm rotors with 350mm pads but the pads sit higher than the rotors. Either the caliper or the control arm is different because both 350mm rotors and pads should've worked. |

when I spoke with several dealers they said that you have to get rotor size by the Vin and that all online parts stores (including which are run by dealers) use generic databases and are very often wrong. My base 2013 also had 360mm fronts.

He also said they were heavier than any of the ones they see on Touaregs & Q7s. :D
According to Partsgeek.com, the 2014 Cayenne and 2014 Audi Q7 use the same part numbers. |

Sounds good. I’m ordering the rest of the parts here shortly. Why the hardliners too, though?
Any luck? |

You guys asking about these sizes, are you DIY'ing the brake job? If yes, do none of you have a tape measure?
350mm = 13.78" 360mm = 14.17" the measurement of disk is 14.2 inches as shown below. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...6cb61315d.jpeg |
Bump
Sorry to bump an old thread, but hopefully adding helpful information here. I too was confused. Or rather, just a little frustrated when searching for brake rotor options for my '11 Turbo. It's like, you're better off having a Base, S, or Diesel or basically any model except the Turbo if you're trying to buy new brakes, at least for the front. And/or, better off having the PCCB option, if you're that fancy. Otherwise, good luck trying to track down a set of decent, not overly expensive brake rotor OE options, let alone anything aftermarket and "cool" i.e. drilled/slotted options. I guess that's what you get for having 390mm front rotors, which are bigger than many other vehicles wheels! Let alone their rotor size.
I posted about it here: 958.1 Turbo Brake Rotor Options |
