  1. Fitting Calipers Advice

    Righto, i've got a set of Calipers to fit. They are just single pot and come with new hoses too. The whole brake systems fluid needs to be bled and changed (2 years since last done) and i'd rather pay the garage to do this with the annual service. My fluid reservoir is currently full...

  3. Rusty Calipers, Discs and Pads

    i'm looking at a 312mm brake upgrade from a TT225. I've found some mostly unused calipers, pads and discs ie they were taken off the TT after not much use. The problem is they've then got wet. So all the parts are corroded. The guy says that the Piston and seals look OK but from the...
  4. Refurbishing Calipers?

  19. Removing rear brake calipers

    Hi all. Am I correct in assuming that the bolts holding the rear brake calipers on a 16V CupraSport are 2 x cap heads which require an 8mm Allen-key (and probably copious amounts of swearing) to remove? Much obliged. Mark
