nrc 0 Posted May 6, 2012 Due to a stuck bleed valve I need a replacement passenger side front calliper, standard VR6 jobby, to help get me to the CCGB national day. Exterior condition not important but it must work and have a loose or missing bleed valve! Willing to collect within West Yorkshire (within reason). Cheers, Neil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lion 0 Posted May 6, 2012 Are they the same as the 16v ones, if so I have a pair...not sure on conditions as I can't access my garage at the moment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrc 0 Posted May 6, 2012 I think the G60 ones are the same as VRs (280mm) but the rest of the line-up has 256mm discs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VWVW 1 Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Have you thought about getting a new one from VW dealer on an exchange basis. Think it was only 65 pounds all in each. ( No messing about with an old one having to sandblast, caliper paint renewing bleed nipples, piston seals etc etc) Edited May 6, 2012 by VWVW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrc 0 Posted May 6, 2012 No, I didn't know dealers did exchanges on callipers! Are they likely to take one with a very stuck and damaged-beyond-all-recognition-in-an-attempt-to-remove it bleed valve? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you havent got one for exchange then there is a 20 pound surcharge on top of the £65. or if you could source another second hand one cheapely you can also take it to them as exchange at a later date. Thats what I have done before (a few months ago) also euro car part is doing calipers. They are offering 30percent off using discount code Holiday30. You just way up the options. Maybe best to try the VW dealers first if you have one local to you. Edited May 6, 2012 by VWVW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
