daveb142 10 Posted May 30, 2014 I've taken the rear discs off of the Corrado and noticed two metal covers that were stuck onto the hub. Both were pretty rusty and falling apart so I pried them off. They seem to cover the rear bearing.... looking at the new bearings in place, they have a rubber washer to protect any dirt ingress.... After looking on the parts system, i've noticed they are listed. My question is, do I need new ones? or shall the rubber protector on the new bearings be enough? I've included a picture of the diagram from the parts system to show what I mean Cheers Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted May 30, 2014 Has you car got ABS? I think the cover is more to help the stub axle bolts from falling out and help keep the ABS sensor clean. I paid around £3.59 in March this year for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted May 30, 2014 Yeah you should always change them, there are ABS and Non-ABS versions. Also order the ABS cage if required. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveb142 10 Posted May 30, 2014 Ah that would make sense, cool I'll order some new ones. Cheers guys! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveb142 10 Posted June 1, 2014 Turns out VW discontinued them from the end of March ..... Lol. 100% necessary? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Turns out VW discontinued them from the end of March ..... Lol. 100% necessary? Maybe better to try another dealer, as other dealers may still have stock. Are you sure they have been discontinued, as they are same on a range of VW's upto 2000. Make sure you supply the part number with the B. As just the numbers will come up with a blank on the system. 191501639B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah they were discontinued in March which sucks, they all used the "191 501 639" part numbers. Yeah the "B" at the end is for models with ABS, "A" is for models without ABS Cheers, will see what happens! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveb142 10 Posted June 2, 2014 Okay the dealer in Scotland that apparently had them actually don't......balls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted June 2, 2014 You tried the number on vw classic parts maybe they have gone over to them now ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveb142 10 Posted June 2, 2014 Yeah tried that too. I can get them from America but they're £25 :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unclean 10 Posted November 3, 2014 Hey Dave, did you ever sort this? Are these strictly needed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveb142 10 Posted November 5, 2014 Apparently they are yes. They press up against the rubber seal on the back of the bearing. Just acts as another dust shield I guess! I ended up having custom ones made from a spare that I had lying about! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unclean 10 Posted November 5, 2014 Thanks for the update Dave. For anyone else on the trail: I asked John at JMR and he said that they're not required per se, but obviously a nice to have. I'm going to proceed without them for now, but I'm getting a friend of mine to machine a pair of non-ABS shields (http://c1552172.r72.cf0.rackcdn.com/122803_x800.jpg) to fit.
