xantia estate brakes query

[pete the bus]

Hi. Can someone please advise if there is a difference between s1 and s2 xantia estate (1.9td) front brake pads? Have seen listings on ebay that appear to confirm that they are the same size but list them separately. Many thanks for any information.

There are 4 types of front brakes fitted to Xantias, and engine / body style combo does not necessarily always equate to the same brakes! You are best to confirm which are actually fitted to your car, and then purchase off that. If you post up the last 8 digits of the VIN, we can confirm via service.citroen what size are fitted. Probably

Thanks Richard. Will do that tomorrow as I'm away working at the moment.

Last 8 digits of VIN as follows:- 017E0166
.
My main reason for asking is that there is a huge price difference for Xantia brake pads. I have a S1, but the lowest prices seem to be for S2 even though they appear to be the same size.

Thanks Richard, most helpful. I can go ahead and buy S2 ones with confidence!
