Title: MK5 front hub help
Post by: gasketface on 11 May 2015, 20:32

Hi all.

I normally post in the MK3 section but i'm trying to help a mate out with a front hub issue.

He has a 54 plate 1.6 (i think it's an FSi ??) and the top thread that holds the caliper to the hub has stripped.

I thought it was like the MK3 where the caliper had a bracket that bolts to the hub so was hoping to get just the bracket.Now iv'e looked at it i can see that there is no caliper bracket and he is going to need a complete hub.

I know my local breakers has no mk5's that they are breaking so my question is "can i get an identical hub off of any other VW or Seat etc that will do the job ?".

Hoping someone can post any useful info soon ???.

Thanks in advance  :smiley:

You might find aftermarket hubs as well....
