312mm disc splash guards part number needed

[Jonezyfr]

is there anywhere you can buy just the 312mm carriers? as im under the impression that the callipers are the same according to brakepartuk, but they dont stock the carriers?

any ideas, contemplating this once my leon needs new disks and pads.

Yes all you need is the carriers. I got mine from ebay but there are a few VAG specialist if you do a quick google search that can supply the carriers about £100 for the pair if I remember correctly

For carriers check VAG-PARTS thats where mine are coming from

Just had a little problem at the dealers trying to order these and wondered if anyone has the rear guard code to go witht the front one already stated in the thread???

 

[cordoba lad]

I think these are the part numbers that I used

Rear left
1J0 615 609

Rear Right
1J0 615 610

Cheers mate ill take these into the miserable sales men on the parts desk tomorrow

 

[dannyFR+tdi]

Sorry should of asked are these defo for the 256mm rears??

 

[Cupra TDI 150]

Are these able to be fitted after fitting discs or are they only able to be fitted with the dics off? Am doing mine tomorrow and if i decide at a later date to get them for an extra £10 or so will it be easy enuff just to put on after taking the wheel off??

you need to completely disassemble the stub axles and hub to fit the new splash guards. To be honest its worth doing all in one go. If you don't do it you will have to releave your current splash gaurds lip for the larger disc to fit.

I think I read somewhere that you are supposed to replace bearings on the hub after fitting these, is that right?

My understanding was that the hub just bolts off the rear beam without interfering with the bearings at all?

I have retofitted the 256mm rears to my own car but would like to fit the proper splash shields if I could.

My experience was that the stub axle bolts to the axle but to get at those bolts you need to remove the hub. To remove the hub you will need some form of puller.

The reason you are meant to replace the bearing is because when you pull the hub it can destroy the bearing its a very simple cage bearing that push fits into the hub and normally gets left on the stub axle.

The front splash guard you can retrofit when ever its a dodle you may want to wip the disc off to give you better access but not necessary.

I see, good to know

I hate to say this BOGWOPPIT but you have that splash guard the wrong way round mate, Its supposed to curve over the disc not back away! Sorry!

 

[Captain Cupra]

you can just cut the piece that makes a full circle off the splash guard and touch up the cut faces with paint far easier than
dismantling the hub!

Anyway....just how easy is it to remove O.E Splash Guards from a LCR?.....oh and refit too!

Im getting new ones powdercoated to fit. They just look ugly when fadded.
