Wich type of paint should I use to paint the rusting bit under the wheels on the brake hubs.
Bought some cheap hammerite smooth finish in silver,reckon that should be ok just to make it look tidier.
Also do you reckon I could use it in red for the callipers?
The rusting seems to happen on all...
Hi all,
As per the title I am about to replace the front and rear discs and pads on my Mk1 Leon TDi 130. Picked up new discs/pads today from GSF, and also nabbed a caliper piston wind back tool from Halfrauds.
Whilst I was in there I picked up some new Brake Fluid and an Eezibleed system...
got a set of front discs and pads fitted to the car. Got a 03 plate cupra but now the caliper hits the inside of the wheels. Discs were 312mm vented, so correct size but i'm wondering if because the new wheels may not be perfect offset, they fitted fine as the discs and pads were worn down, but...
I have been looking for Discs and Pads for a while
has any one ever used EICHER discs? there £25 on Eurocarparts
EICHER n/a 104440851 FRONT BRAKE DISC AUDI TT/S3 (1) FRONT BRAKE DISC AUDI TT/S3 (2)
312mm
but i cant find anything on them so thought i would ask.
where else can i get...
On my 1999 Cupra Sport the rear wheel bearings are droning away. There is also play on each side. The rear brake discs are also quite worn.
I plan to keep the car long term so want to use decent quality parts but also like a bargain.
So, any reccomendations for suppliers/makers to use...
Any one know if these are still made for the LC? I really liked the Atom pattern machined into them and i heard a lot of good reports, but i had a quick search and ATE only seem to make plain discs now. Pity as they were a good product at a good price.
Hi
I've been doing a bit fo reading and found these and ordered them. Total price for discs and pads comes to £160.20 whichi think is cracking value!
Eurocarparts - 2 discs 323mm - EBC discs - £57.00 each. Total inc del of £131.20
Mintex Pads (Brembo) fitment - eBay seller...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=360145130267
are they any good? i think for the price they look good. especially with the red stuff pads
going on to a 2003 Cupra
Hi All,
I fitted a set of ultimax discs and DS2500 pads to my car 2 weeks ago (so all of the black coating has gone) I bedded them with progressive heat build up etc, but last night I did some fairly heavy braking and by the time I got home the brakes were smoking!!!
Any ideas as to why...
hi guys, i fitted some new discs and pads to the mother in laws tdi yesterday, fs3 calipers.
never done these before, only fn3 cupra calipers...
it has a squealing noise coming from the brakes...
is this usual on these brakes, the pads has clips to push into the piston and the caliper...
Looking to purchase a new set of front brake discs for my Ibiza Cupra-R. Is the dealer likely to be the best bet or does anyone know of a cheaper source?? I've seen a few companies offering grooved items on ebay but these are quite expensive.
Thanks
Hi all,
I have a Seat Leon 1.9TDi 130 and I'm looking at replacing the discs and pads all round. I was wondering if people knew what the part numbers are where I can by straight replacements. I'm not looking at upgrading at all as they are more than adequate at the moment.
Any suggestions...
2 quick questions
the Cupra Brake Discs.. what size are they and where is the cheapest to get a set. i have heard along time ago try audi TT but i cant remember the sizes
also the Forge Strut Brace does this rest on the airfilter cover like it did on the Seat Sport One
Thanks Lee
Over the last week or so, I've noticed that I've been getting a slight grinding come from the rear brakes under light braking.
Had a look at the outer pads/disc, and thought they looed 'ok', but to be on the safe side, I ordered up some new EBC discs and Ultimax pads from Bill @ Badger5 (£60...
This may have been covered else where but I cant find where.
I have an 05 Ibiza sport Pd100,
But I dont know what size my discs are. Is there an easy way to tell with out getting the tape measure out.
Cheers

Evening All,
I am in the position where i need to replace my front discs and Pads on my LCR. I have had a quote from Seat of £460 for stock replacements and the work - this seems like a lot to me. One of the local VAG specialists have quoted around £400 using standard Discs and Ferodo Pads...
Well, set ups I've had and how I rate them.
Initially I had the 323mm OEM Brembo discs and pads, this was a very good system but had its weaknesses when pushing on with very noticable fade.
Then I got the 323mm Brembo Drilled discs and OEM pads, these were better with fade than the OEM discs...
