cheers pal

I need to get round to buying the discs & pads lol xD

does anyone know if Ibiza have wear indicators on the pads?
Mintex are coming up with 2 different sets, one has an electrical sensor on it and the other are just pads
I'm thinking not but if someone could confirm please!

Width: 156,3 mm, Height: 74,2 mm, Thickness/Strength: 20,6 mm, Wear Warning Contact: With integrated wear sensor, Brake System: Teves

OR

Width: 156,3 mm, Height: 74 mm, Thickness/Strength: 20,6 mm, Wear Warning Contact: Excl. wear warning contact, Brake System: Teves

No wear sensor on the Ibiza.

i rang the tt shop today for a set, they wanted £299 for a used pair! i nearly laughed!

That is silly money. Ebay is the answer.

 

[.Phase]

people on that TT forum often sell for £100 because they don't think they're worth much

but we here are in demand for them!

Thanks, didn't think they'd have sensors as no dash place for it, but knowing me I would order the wrong ones xD

 

[Craigcts]

mines came with the wear indicator on them...I just cut the wire

daft isn't it. ive been looking on ebay for ages, im not spending 200 ish quid on some knackered looking calipers thay may or may not work. im thinking nice discs and uprated pads may have to suffice.

Does anyone know if the 1.8T Audi A3 (either Y or W reg) with either the AUM or AGU engine codes uses the 312m set up?

 

[truss]

nope, don't think so mate.

 

[Cos]

Shame!

How about from a Mk4 Golf GT TDI 150bhp, ARL engine code?

 

[.Phase]

Mk1 TT (not 3.2), golf mk4 anniversary, Octavia VRS mk1, mk1 S3.

There are other models which use the same ATE 54mm calipers but the above use the 312mm carriers too.

Got my setup off the bay for £170... patience and a bit of luck!

apparently they're the only cars!

Only the Anniversary mk4 (Diesel and petrol) as far as I`m aware.

Looks like it yeah!

As I said other cars use the same calipers, like the mk1 Leon Cupra.. but they all use 288mm carriers.

That is why the 312mm carriers are always being sold on edition38 and other forums! Easy upgrade.
