This information guide has been written by nfbr.

Buying replacement Brake parts for the Lupo's can sometimes be a bit of a Nightmare. Especially for TDI owners, as most of the Brake component manufacturers have their listings completely wrong.

I have created this user guide to make it much easier for people to Identify and Purchase the correct parts for their car.

This guide has been written specifically for the VW Lupo, However as far as I am aware, these specs should be the same for the Seat Arosa.

Please Note: I recommend that you check the Size of your Original discs before you go out and buy new Brake parts as it is YOUR responsibility if you end up with the wrong parts because you didn't bother to measure things up before purchasing!
