Evening all
Any advice is very much welcome...
Went to Awesome-GTI today to get some work done on my ibiza cupra tdi including new front discs and pads and found out that the front caliper pins were completely seized up.
From reading this forum I was already aware that these calipers were a bit hit and miss with this problem.
The guys at awesome (Dealt with Al mainly) were all great and gave me 2 options...
1) Get the Caliper pins machined out at a cost of approx £200
2) Ditch the AP's in favour of some single pot Audi TT (quattro?) calipers (still 312mm discs) for considerably less than option 1.
I've decided to go for option 2 as there is no guarantee the pins wouldn't seize up again on the AP's due to the poor design (Ally and Steel from what i've read)
Anyone any experience of the TT calipers? and will I really notice a difference in breaking performance?... gutted to have to lose the AP's but I don't see keeping them as a viable option.
Cheers
Lee
