voo51 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Hi guys My car has failed the mot on rear brakes- well especially on the rear o/s brake caliper. The handbrake ratchet is pushed too far back apparently. What options do i have other than buy a new/refurbed caliper? Is there a better value upgrade kit for rear calipers or anything? If anyone could help asap that would be great as im running out of time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted June 12, 2008 A search for rear brakes should reveal a lot of info, but in summary: Cheapest option is to invest in a couple of calliper rebuild kits from VAG, PlusGas/WD40, wet 'n' dry, brake calliper paint (or Smoothrite) and a quiet weekend in. The best option is to get yourself some Mk4 rear callipers, but they're not cheap and ideally you'd still want to strip, clean and paint them...
