weslangdon Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I have consistently had problems with brakes on my Tdi cars, recently I have driven a basic VW Up and the anchors were on another level all together. Had anyone considered fitting the Servo from an Up to Lupo? This type of change was a regular event to improving brakes on Series 1 Golfs & Scirocco's?

Sausage Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 The brakes were pretty hopeless on the black tdi for a year or so, they got thru MOTs just turned out they needed bleeding and fresh fluid. It has braided hoses too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 On the UP though they are like a very modern car, completely different and better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Yeah, I'm convinced that genuine VW Lupo pads are a very soft compound, needing a lighter pedal pressure. Also the genuine discs wear out very quickly, making me suspect that the cast steel alloy used for them is also very soft. Combined gives a 'normal' pedal pressure. Using Eicher pads and some unbranded discs definitely means I have to really stamp on them. Fluid like new. Everything else standard, so must be the pad and disc material?
