Default D3 Brake rotors, which one?

I am trying to purchase a set of front rotors for my 2005 A8. Genuine Audi Parts has 2 kinds for my vehicle 360x34MM and 385x36MM. How do I know which one I need?

You need 360 x 34 mm. When ordering just punch in your WIN and they will check it for you.

385 x 36 mm are for S8 and A8 W12.

In the wheel well, there should be a sticker covered in 3 digit VAG codes. One of these codes is for the disc type, another pad type eg 1LL.
You can look up your reg on Eurocarparts.com to see the PR numbers available and then see what matches your wheel well codes.

Purchased Meyle from Amazon. The pads were made in Canada. The rotors were from China.
After 5,000 miles they look perfect. And work great.
Best part was 350.00 delivered. This is four rotors and pads.
But my installer recommended cross drilled rotors and EBC pads. He said my cheap stuff does not belong on an A8.
