brake

Looking for suggestions here people: The left near-side brake light on my 57 plate Leon 1.9TDi is not working. There is an orange bulb illuminated on the dashboard. The bulb looked fine but I replaced it anyway and it still does not work. I've looked through every post I can find...

Hi people, I managed to get hold of a pair of front calipers and discs from a mk4 golf R32 :) :) Only problem is which pads to put in :( :( Ive checked allover and it doesn't look like anybody did a performance pad for the R32, also looked on ebay and found that some suppliers say...

Hi guy's Ive got a 2001 Cupra, has anyone uprated their brakes? If so what mods have you done and what are the best brake pads to use? Cheers

Next problem with the wifes car. Whilst I was having the springs sorted (broken spring) and replaced with some Eibachs, the specilists spotted that one of the front brake caliper bolts was just spinning. Great, so got a price today, the PD 100 model has an all in one design so can't just swap...

Just installed R32/Cupra 345mm front brake upgrade. Not cheap but a piece of piss. 2 hours both sides start to finish. Will put up piccys/how to soon. And yess they will fit under 17" wheels.

Hi guys, I ordered a set of drilled and grooved discs. The fronts are 312mm, will they fit straight onto my mark 4 ibiza cupra? Thanks Chris :D

As above, my front pads need replacing, not looking at the discs yet, are there any suitable upgrade pads for general driving taking into account its now stage 1 tuned. Thanks

Hi, upgraded the Leon brakes today, 312mm front & 256mm vents at the rear. Got the calipers & carriers off a TT225, stripped them, grit blasted them, thoroughly cleaned them, painted them & rebuilt them all with the lovely sticky red rubber grease. Fitted them today with new discs & pads but the...

After refurbing my brembo's, which now look stunning by the way, I now cant bleed the brakes. I have no brake pedal feel at all. I tried one of those Guyson Easi-bleed things but no joy. Any ideas folks?

Hi guys, My discs and pads need replacing, I've been seeing what the options are but right now all I can see is the ebc greenstuff combo, I saw a thread where someone had some Tarox F200 discs but can't seem to see these anywhere, even on the Tarox website, they only appear to have the MK1...

Does anybody know, what colour is the cable for 3rd brake light? In that rubber thing, where all the cables go to the 5-th doors, there are many cables, which of them is for brake light? The situation is, that 3rd brake light doesn't work, I think cable went wrong, so I want to put direct...

hey fort id have a crack at sorting the brakes so just ordered all ebc pads a brakes a dot 5.1 fluid so just wondering is 1 litre of brake fluid enough? and is it worth the extra wedge upgrading the back brakes? thanks simon

Well yesterday driving to work, this light pinged up on the dash i thought, weird, the pads are only a month old, so i check them this monring and still pads are like new, checked the plug and all still plugged in together, im confused as to what has happened or causing this :confused: This...

Anyone ever had to bleed the abs pump when the system has run dry, i know you use VAGcom but some say open bleed nipples and do it again, im sure you would just activate the pump then do the normal method? as its purged the pump of air?

I need to change my rear pads and disks ASAP but am not 100% sure what parts I need to order. :confused: Car is a LC 03 1.8T Am I right that if I order pads from GSF that I need to order one set with wear sensor and another set with out??? As been looking at other posts saying that you...

Hey guys, Has anyone had an issue with their leon eating brake lights? My car seems to be chewing through driver side brake light bulbs at an alarming rate, and I have no idea what I should be looking for to diagnose! Any ideas? :(

Ok so need some help, I got some 2.0 16v front hubs and calipers for my car, I've come to order braided hoses and there fine, got some pads then came to order some drilled and grooved fronts and apparently there's two choices? I can't get hold of the reg number or anything that there from so...
