brakes

Hi there, I’m a newbee here, so hello all :) I’ve just bought a Seat Ibiza GTI Cupra 2.0 16v and there are a few issues with it that I need to resolve: The brakes veer to the left under hard braking. I’ve checked all callipers/pistons/pads/discs – all now ok. Does anyone know if these...

Well after saving my pennies I have finally uprated my brakes and suspension. Had the KW V1 coilovers but decided on only a 25mm drop as not sure how this would effect getting onto my drive. Luckily its about right as the clearance must be 2mm ! The car bounces a little more but not overly so...

My front brakes are a bit passed it and decided to uprate them at the same time. Does anybody recommend a good disc and pad combination. Going to be doin some tracks days and fast road etc. Some makes and links would be really helpful, ive used the search but nothing really stuck out...

Hi, i need some new brake pads on the front of my car, first up is the a guide anywhere on how to do it? an second, the've got abit of a lip on em, im a machinist so would it be ok to turn them off? or grind them off? or should i just leave em? any advice is much appreciated Dan i...

Have used the Gunsons bleeder on my previous cars no problem but with the LCR up in the air I couldn't get any fluid out of the rear calipers??? :confused: I had 12psi on the bleeder. Question is. Do you need the ignition on or engine running to do the rears? I did a small pedal...

Hi Amigos i'm new here and this is my first post, i have a 2006 Seat Leon 1.8 20V Turbo, currently stock but i plan on upgrading to stage 1, however even now at stock level i feel the brakes are not up to the job. To be honest the prices of Brembos are really high and i wanted to know if there...

am not 100% sure what size the discs are its a seat ibiza 1.9TDI fr pd130 2006/56 am sure the front are 288mm and rear are 266mm any help would be great thanks john

I had my rear brakes changed about 3 weeks ago now and ever since then if I put the car into reverse they start screeching like mad and not just when i press the brakes either. When i reverse a bit they screech without applying them and they actually become quieter when i press the brakes...

Anyone let a lowly VW owner know whether they are Vented or not on the K1 Cupra?

Just a quick one... does this sound good? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SEAT-LEON-CUPRA-R-EBC-BRAKE-DISCS-FERODO-DS2500-PADS_W0QQitemZ360189292905QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item53dcf47169&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Cheers Andy

Im in the process of changing the brakes on my cupra Does the huge star nut on the hub have to be removed to get the disc off?? Discs are in such poor condition i cant tell how they come off Cheers

Hey folks, Embarassing problem more than anything really, but I've noticed that my car is squeeking LOTS, when moving at slow speeds (usually in traffic). Not related to engine, as with clutch in, or in neutral, noise persists. It doesn't do it all the time, but clears as soon as I'm doing...

hey been doing bits and bobs to my 1.4 and i think now its time to upgrade the brakes from the tiny weak items that the 1.4s have on them. Im wanting to go for the 2.0 8v or 16v setup,am i right in thinking i will need the complete hubs off of a 2litre as well as calipers discs etc? also is it...

This is getting so bad now that i'm losing my mine, i drive around in my lovely clean FR and sound like a bus every time i put my foot on the brake. This started ever since someone crashed into me, mostly into my alloy, could be coincidence but if it was the pads that need changing wouldn't i...

Just gauging interest - I may be able to get a set of AP 4 pot calipers and rotors/disks/ pads: fitted and working for £850 to suit a Leon Fr. They are cast with the TVR initials -for which they were intended. This strikes me as good value and the chap supplying them has more- does this sound a...

Just got 20,000 miles service done today bad news my ibiza cupra tdi needs new rear brake pads and discs in the next 5000 miles, so i'll be putting the coilovers back and brakes come first. while am on the the rear discs and pads i'll get the new front as well. am thinking Tarox discs...

Had a quick search but can't seem to find what i need. After so better pads for the standard brakes for my Tdi sport ibiza. Any recommendation guys? :think:

Hi people is there any thing i can get to stop the front brakes from squeaking.When lightly pressing the brake it makes a horrible loud squeak.Any ideas would be great

On average? Mines in for service and the current discs+pads have been on 20,000 miles of mostly motorway/runs type driving. Do the front ones have the sensors on to detect wear? Cheers guys
