BRAKE caliper

Post by Marlin pmb »

Hi Guys
please can anyone tell me a good brake caliper replacement for my 2004 polo bug eye.
I bought the car about a year ago but recently while changing brake pads I found out that the the bracket that goes over
the pads and caliper has been drilled so the bolt that goes threw the hub is not holding the on that bracket there a bolt put in to hold in place.
Please any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Don't really understand what u mean, maybe post some pics? Pads normally fit in a bracket and the caliper goes over them, not the other way around.

Polos generally come with 2 sizes of brakes.

If u have a TDI, the 74 and 96kw brakes are different. If u have a petrol polo it should be using the 74kw braking.

U can upgrade to a 96kw system or seat cupra 4pot but will require the respective bearing carriers since the 74kw system has the caliper bracket built into the carrier.

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on :driving:
