Getting a scrubbing sound on the rear when braking and Euro car Parts have a good sale on at the moment so a good time to replace! So does anyone know what size the rears are as ECP list 3 different sizes for my reg plate. A search on here suggests 288mm and a google search suggests 255mm.

As above, just measure them.
I'm pretty sure they are 255mm as I think the R has 288mm on the rear.

Yes, but the post is about the REAR brakes.
Plus the OP doesn't have a 170 but a 2.0 TSI which does have the same size of brakes 312mm front and 255mm rear, I believe.

Measure them.
Or if in doubt buy all the discs and pad types and return the ones you don't use.
