Wayne2015 10 Posted March 8, 2015 The benefit of getting from ECP/GSF is that its local and the brake parts you need are likely to be in stock. If they're not the right ones, you can return them for a full refund and get the ones you need. Your best bet is to look what you have on the car at the moment. I went for the larger pad thickness when I last bought a set, and had no issues. Cheers Sean U know me, even if i measure i still get the wrong parts!!! Want to get it right As will ordered thn taking with me to Vag-hag to fit together, so just one shot at this :( GSF serve the public? As is Andrew Page?

sexybourbon 0 Posted March 9, 2015 1 litre is enough and get it from vw Gearbox oil you will need 2litres and alot of people go for redline mt90 Forum members get discount Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted March 9, 2015 The pas fluid from avs is febi stuff, but it's the correct specification Wayne, it's what I used in mine and the aqua I have. You can order online from Opie, just put the discount code in at checkout. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ll give VW a buzz too to see if thy cheaper :) Er What's the OPIE discount code (as a search here came back with out-of-date end-of-season codes in supplier section)?

seanl82 23 Posted March 9, 2015 Search for user oilman. I think the standard discount code is in his signature. Alternatively just give them a call, they're very helpful so will apply the discount over the phone anyway mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted March 9, 2015 Damn Might have left it too late Many deliveries are specifying at least a week!!!! Sean: AVS wants £13 delivered for Febi - eBay also £13 - so may risk eBay ... Redline MT90 sells at 1 US Quart = 0.9L @£20 So will need £40 delivered.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oilman (code: CORRADO) 10% off Including delivery works out at £20 same as eBay! But probably best to order from Oilman as safer :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
