Brake pad change - advice needed

HI Guys,

Looking for some help as not really got knowledge about cars.

My rear pads need changed on my 2011 rocco 2.0 tdi 140.

I'm looking at the Pagid one's - apparently they are just as good as OEM?

It seem's they come in different sizes though and I'm not sure which is correct.

Can someone tell me if these ones would do?

Seem's awfully cheap at £13.47 per axle which I'm assuimg means two pads for each side of the rear.

A little bit off topic but do you get a warning message on your instrument cluster when the pads are worn out?

Not had a message no but I believe the sensor's for this are only on the front?

You get 4 pads (2 for each side) so you only need to order one.

My backs on my GT were 255 but if I was you I would take the wheel off and measure the diameter of the disk roughly with a tape measure.
