Title: calipers are fooked argh (fixed them)
Post by: (shakey) on 31 March 2010, 12:13
my rear calipers are fooked gutted so need new 1s.

rite i fixed me rear calipers had to take the piston out and clean it,plus i think the piston wasnt straight so thats why it was so tight,just need to go the garage tmz and get them bleed properly.

No good.

For a direct fit, you need calipers off a MK4 anni or a MK1 Octavia VRS.

As you use 256mm brakes on rear, theyre the only cars fitted with them that aren't 4motions.

TT's use same but require a spacer and longer bolt.
