In for answers since I am planning on doing this mod soon???
golfdave - did you change your coding in your brake control module to refect the change from 288mm to 312mm brakes? I found this:
Byte 4 in the brake control module should read 24 for vehicles with 288mm brakes and 34 for vehicles with 312mm brakes. To get there, you have to check bit 4 in addition to bits 2 and 5.
Not I use OBDEleven but VCDS of course will be the same.

Same in my 2017 US market 1.8.VCDS says NO..
Nothing written in VCDS..so manually changed the bit from 24 (288mm) to 34 (312mm)...then VCDS threw a stupid "this module appears to be un-initialised" message, used stock importer coding & then it threw it all out saying "out of range".....bugger..
module all ok & back to previous ok...
All cleaned up and ready...used 312s off an Alltrack. Now to figure out rotors/pads.
I hope you remember which pin /slider is top as there are two different pins...on is all metal & the other has a plastic bush at the end...& use TRW grease on the sliders..NOTHING else..
while I am retrofitting the whole DCC system, I decided to upgrade the brakes as well, since I hear DCC calling for 312mm rotors from the factory. my calipers are numbered 57.
I bought two BDA1180 at a nice price in Germany. just painted them red and swapped the pins on the "right" one.
I also got Brembo rotors and brake pads.
will install within a few days...
I'm a dumb@ss...forgot to measure my pistons when I had it all apart. My calipers have "57" on them but re-reading this made my paranoid...did the whole 55/57mm issue in the U.S. for the 2017-2018 GSW 4Mo get sorted? I believe if I have interpreted it correctly I have 57s...
Mine say 57 - is that what you are referring to? My concern was it appeared back a few pages that some calipers marked "57" had 55mm pistons...that is what I was asking, has that been sorted or were you referring to the others codes printed the calipers? Really pissed I didn't throw some calipers on my pistons when they were hanging there!Still not 100% certain....best to actually see what is written on the calipers...
Me too - won't let me change it using OBDEleven on my 2018 Golf Sportwagen S 4Motion.VCDS says NO..
