hi,
I just tried to replace the front pads on my 2013 i30 diesel hatch but when I rang my local spares shop for a set he asked what make of caliper it was. I told him it was a Mobis caliper and he said he didnt have those in stock. Anybody know which pads are for the Mobis caliper? I dont want to get the wrong ones.

That's a weird query from them.
I usually go to sgpetch website and look up the part number - I think yours would be 58101.
:link: Genuine Front Pads Hyundai i30 2011-2018 1.6 CRDi (110 bhp) Diesel (https://www.sgpetchparts.co.uk/hyundai/i30-hatchback/2011-2018-diesel-1.6-CRDi-110-bhp/Front-Pads-34999.html)
Alternatively, head on over to www.partsouq.com (http://www.partsouq.com) and put your VIN into the online form - go through the menus and locate the part number from there. Your supplier should be able to work from the part number.

Not really, I won't even order pads where there are multiple options for the car unless the customer has whipped one out for a photo or traced it. Bad business to order in the wrong pads that could potentially sit on the shelves for years because it's cheaper to throw them out than to send them back.

I replaced the front pads on my 2015 CRDi last year with Pagid pads from ECP. Even then, they had a choice of two different types depending on whether the disc is 280mm or 300mm. Mine has 15" wheels hence the smaller disc size. The Pagid pads include new shims which is a bonus.
If you can find original Hyundai pads at a reasonable price I would use them. I needed mine in a hurry and as there is an ECP branch nearby, that's where I went. Current price is £39.

You can't rely on wheel size either. My vehicle is factory 16" and came with 280mm rotors

Around 2015 Hyundai changed the brakes on the i30 so 16" wheels were the minimum rim size that would fit around the calipers. My car must have been one of the last to be fitted with 15" rims and smaller brakes.
