Hi all got new disc and pads from meyle via Advanced motor factors and Look great quality, but 2 of the front pads have this big round lump of metal riveted to it. I'm assuming it must be some sort of sound damper but not sure if this pad should be fitted inboard side or outboard side of caliper. Has anyone come across this before.

If they're sliding calipers on yours rather than Brembos, I'd suggest the inboard / piston side - as that's the side with the lowest weight.
However, it's only an "educated" assumption. Paul,

That sounds odd. Do you have a photo of what it is that is on those pads? You have the Brembo big brake kit upfront right with that MY?

No, the 2010MY 3.6's didn't have 4 or 6 pot Brembo brakes. They were fitted with twin piston sliding calipers.

They were the change over between the 4 and 6 piston calipers.

Strange metal lump riveted to pad.

Yes you are right about that dhallworth. How do you know it is a 3.6? I couldn’t see the model mentioned 🤣

His car profile says 2010 TDV8, majority of 2010’s were 3.6’s and the description of the brake pads gave it away. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

3.6 tdv8 aa chasis vin

Awww yes annoyingly you can’t see those profiles on the mobile version of the website. But yes i normally put the metal parts on the side of the piston for those type of pad. On Audi they help Center and attach the pads.

For what it’s worth on my RRS, which was a 2013 model, the pads with the lump went on the outside of the disc.

I have the 2010 3.6 with the sliding TRW calipers. I’m trying to order a set of brake pads and discs for the fronts but without taking the wheel off, I can’t tell if it’s 344mm or 360mm discs. I’ve offered up a tape measure but it’s difficult through the wheel.
Can anyone advise? 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded

If your chassis begins with aa then normal calipers. Most of this year had no Brembo.

It is AA
I’m looking at the TRW as the calipers are made by TRW so probably the most suitable 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded
