brake upgrade on TDi

[the bear1986]

hi quick question what do i need to get the full audi tt brake set up?
as does anyone know if brambo has done a brake set up for the mk4 tdi?

 

[RichieRich]

what model mk4 Tdi do you have? pd100 or pd130?

Check on Ebay for the full 312mm brake conversion kits. Theres always some on there.

These upgrade kits will only work if you have a 130 TDi as the hubs are different from the 100TDi and the kit wont fit.

The TT kit is brembo calipers.

The TT kit is brembo calipers.

No the TT kit is a standard single pot caliper with 312mm disks.

Assuming you have a PD130, you need:

Calipers from Audi TT, Leon Cupra, Audi S3, etc
Carriers
312mm disks
Pads

You can just about get away with using the original hoses.

what difference would changing the hoses make?

 

[Tall-Paul]

Braided hoses are supposed to make the brake pedal less spongy as there will be alot less 'give' in the brake lines as the orignal ones expand a little. You've got to do the rears as well to make it worth while.

I was referring to hose length; I kept the original hoses on mine, they just about reach the new calipers OK. Some of the kits you see for sale off Audi TTs come with the hoses as well.

i have the tdi 130 i have seen that kit on the vag website but i didn't know if that was everything i needed?

so is there a brambo kit out there or is the ttset up all i've got?

 

[mrcoyote]

Yes there is a Brembo kit and also the Seat Sport APs, but these cost substantially more than the TT 312mm setup and you'd probably need new wheels to clear the calipers which means additional cost.

 

[the bear1986]

do you know where sells these brakes? for clearinse could i not just use wheel spaces?

 

[RichieRich]

surely the TT breaks are good enough? with alot less hastle and money being thrown at making the job better when the 312mm will be ample anyway?

Pressure in a fluid acts equally upon all sides longer hoses theoretically shouldn't make a difference, but longer hoses will effectively give more, though unless you are talking about adding a substantial length then it shouldn't be noticeable.

I miss read that as "Beer" and thought now there's an idea.

It was nothing to do with fluid quantity, but the ability to attach the hose end to the caliper
