Will this fit a Seat Leon 1.9 tdi FR as a big brake

I need to renew by front left caliper pins, and if they are a reasonable price, may well do all the other brakes as well. Looks like the rear are the same so ill check my local ford dealers, well i say local, think they are miles away!

Gonna refurb my rear calipers tomorrow if it dry and was wondering, does the rear caliper carrier use and odd size bolt or allen head and if so, anyone know the size? :shrug:

well i now have one caliper painted.:funk: just used red hammerite smooth as some folks suggested. gave it a few coats, and gave the wheel a good old clean while it was off. 1 down, 3 to go, sometime! paint was still fresh when i took the photo, hopefully it'll dull down, don't like it too...

What carriers do I need to fit a set of willwood 4 pots to a mk3 ibiza??? I have come a cross a set that I can get cheaply but not sure what else I will need?? The car is a 1.4 is that helps. Kind regards, Alex

Hi all I tried changing the rear pads and discs on my car just now but I cant get the caliper piston to compress so there is enough room to fit new ones. Ordinarily (never done it to a VAG car but on others) a G clamp is enough to press the piston back giving enough room for the new pads and...

It looks as if I'm going to go ahead with a 312mm conversion on the FR I've found a set of calipers,discs,carriers and hoses at a reasonable price BUT they have come off a skoda VRS and are Green. The car is Black magic so I'm undecided what coulor if any to paint them I wouldn't have...

Hi all, would any body know if the ibiza cupra -r carrier for the brembo caliper is the same as the carrier on the LCR ? cheers

About 3ish weeks ago i changed the pads on my my wilwood supalite calipers, after i had changed the pads the brakes where sticking on quite alot. The cars been in the garage for the last 2 weeks and the mech has been unable to remove 2 of the pistons, hes said that he soaked them in penatrating...

Just thought I would let you guys know that my drivers side seat sport caliper has been flaking off. My local dealer didnt want to know so I took it to another dealer a bit further away who have always been very good and they are replacing the flaking caliper. The other one is fine. I was...

Wheels gotta come off for all round brakes so thinking of getting the calipers toshed whilst there,did want em done when had respray but it didn't happen. seeing as everyone says hammerite ok just debating what colour should go on my kiwi,not sure bout the red with the green or yellow to be...

the bracket that the caliper sits on that surrounds the rear disc, well im after the 2 bolts they are 8mm allen head bolts, is it a seat dealer part only? can i get them from vw dealer cos im right next the them and the seat dealer is 17 miles away its a long way to travel for 4 bolts...

Ive read a few threads here but would like to know how do you actually refurb the calipers itself? Bearing in mind the "Brembo" logo on the caliper itself is actually etched on isnt it? or is it just a sticker? I am going to do this tomorrow after going to hellfrauds to get some caliper...

I know its been talked to death but wondered what people think to silver calipers, seems to have made them look smaller. Thinking about going back to red or mayby blue, hammerite need to do more colours. [/IMG]

Well was replacing my discs and pads yesterday. Managed one side ok. Then the other side... Well different story. One of the bolts there was completely rounded, so I tried doing everything I could without damaging the rubber bit, nothing worked. So I ended up cutting just over half way round...

was trying to change my brake pads and took a wrong bolt out one that holds the caliper together Doh! wasn't thinking :headhurt:. The one where the bolt goes through a metal tube if that makes sense. to make matters worse there was a thread in the caliper that the bolt threads into it looks like...

Hi all, I took a look around on the web and forums and could not find a conclusive answer - can anyone tell me what the tool is to remove a rear brake caliper on a 2001 Ibiza Cupra. It seems to be some funny allen key arrangement. Cheers

hi all, tried searching but no luck. I've a cupra tdi, I've just upgraded to 312mm disks on the front and I'm now looking to go from 233mm to 256mm on rear. Question is, is it a case like the front of just swapping the carriers, or do you need the caliper aswell? thanks John.

The paint on my rear calipers is peeling off, Does anyone reckon Seat will change them under warranty?
