GTI Caliper Issue - Seized 'Slider/Damper' ???
#1
Pics describe this better than words..

Basically, taking the carriers apart, on each carrier there is 2 damper type springs on each side...
on each carrier i have one seized

The boot to protect it from seizing has obviously failed at some point and rusted the inners - the insides are greased which acts as the damping for these little widgets.

Anyway, anywhere i can new ones from? Besides the scrapyard as we have NO Gti's in our scrappies, OR is there i way to get these out - got some WD40 soaking at the moment and a lot of MTFU on it..

Heres some pics.

GOOD! Big Grin

EDIT: ALSO saw Johnny re-build his calipers last year, read it on .net, maybe he could have some input if he's around, rather than his usual spam..
Diablo Hdi Dturbo and 205 1.9 project - it lives!
