rear rotors - wrong size

Hi,

I was attempting to replace the rear rotors on my 2000 Audi A6 2.7T
Sedan today. When I tried to put on the new rotors (from Autozone) they
were too deep and not large enough in diameter. I double checked the
part number. It matches my car. The guy at Autozone and I couldn't
figure out what the correct rotor part was.

Before leaving the store, we decided to order the 2001 rotors. Perhaps
Audi used 2001 parts on my 2000?

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks,
Eric

Do you know the size of your break disc? Could it be that your break disc is
not of original size but changed...Just a guess. I checked the ETKA and it
says the following:

Audi A6 Model 1999-2001 (just checked these year models and the part numbers
were the same for these)

Break disc 245 mm x 10 mm (5 x 112) part # 4A0 615 601 A
Break caliper housing part # 8E0 615 423 (left)
Break caliper housing part # 8E0 615 424 (right)
Break carrier with pad retaining pin part # 8E0 615 425

Do these part numbers match with the one you ordered?

Regards,
Sami
