Bloody rust....

Stop tempting everyone Robin

....They are called 'bells' but mine didn't go rusty:-




And then I changed them to these:-

Doh! Really like the look of the AP's, would it be rude to ask how much they set you back, roughly of course!!!

....Er, I would have to shoot you afterwards because I was asked by AP not to say . I played a very minor part in their development for the Mk5 GTI and was rewarded generously. Their usual price is about £1,700 for a set of fronts - they fit both 17's and 18's Monzas.

Oh well then, time to sell an organ, pretty much the same price as Brembos then ??

Any opinions on which suits the GTI the best?

No not yet, any info/links worth reviewing?

Thread back on track

Unlikely that dealer will replace the discs under warranty unless the car is relatively new - cheap metal in discs these days and production cost cutting means they are always likely to rust, especially in a UK climate :embarassed: My discs are rusty and dealer wouldn't budge

Had the same issue with my old Boxster and as the brakes functioned properly, I only got them replaced when the inboard rears rusted badly on the disc surface.

I find Solvol Autosol takes care of the rear zorst tips no problem Just tear off a 2" x 8" piece of fabric and use a sawing action to clean/polish around each tip

....Sorry, Cass! You may have noticed that it happens a lot when I post in a thread . It's not actually ever my intention though.....Honest!

If you've let your tailpipes go to the dogs (grimy with heat soak tarnishing?) thjen a little the "Solvol Autosol' simply won't do the job. You're not the only one who has had a job cleaning built up crap off your tailpipes, it's another 'GTI' quirk.

Try very fine sandpaper followed by wire wool (wire wool alone won't do it if it's bad) and then use a metal polisher (Solvol Autosol is fine at this stage).

The tailpipes won't stay clean but a weekly 3-5 minutes with the aforementioned method will keep them looking immaculate.

Or you could get these and find yourself becoming OCD with cleaning them every other day :embarassed:
