OE 701698151E — Brake Pads for Volkswagen

Three checks: the code printed on your old part must read 701698151E; the number must fall inside the build-year range in the Applications table; and the connector, thread or bolt pattern must match the reference photo. Codes cast into the housing are the most reliable source.

Match three things: the code on the part you are removing, the build-year range in the Applications table, and the mounting points visible in the reference photo. If all three line up, 701698151E is a confirmed fit. Send your VIN and our export desk will double-check the ambiguous cases.

Standard minimum order is 10 pieces per part number. Mixed orders that combine 701698151E with other brake system references are welcome — that is how most clients fill an LCL or FCL container without over-stocking a single line.

Treat it as a wear item: inspect every 20,000-30,000 km and replace at the first sign of leakage, noise or performance loss. Real service life swings widely with climate, road surface and duty cycle, so mileage on its own is a weak indicator.

Incoming batches pass a dimensional check, a material look-up against the brake system specification, and a visual inspection for finish defects. Critical dimensions are measured per carton and the photographs are archived against the order number.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.
