ArosaScott Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Do the calipers on a Mk2 Rosa (2004) have wind back pistons on the front or just push back? Thanks. Edited August 4, 2021 by ArosaScott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_VW Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 The fronts are just pushback. Check the brake fluid reservoir to make sure it doesn't overflow when pushing back. I'm assuming you have drums on the rear. Sport, GTI and TDI have wind back rear calliper's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaScott Posted August 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Thanks @James_VW yeah i got drums on the back. So simple push back on the fronts with a G Clamp sorted. Got MOT coming up so done a full service and doing the brakes and pads also and a brake fluid flush. Only annoying thing is when i put the engine cover back on and put the bolts up, 1 of the 2 bolts that hold the cover on the engine snapped, there is enough bolt to get a set of grips on to get the bolt out but really annoying, anybody happen to know the size i need to replace a cover bolt?

ArosaScott Posted August 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Front brake pads and discs all swapped over, had to order a full of new bolt and sliders and the ribber seat for the calipers as the bolts was well rounded, i cant stand allen key head bolts, so prone to rounding its unreal. ended up having to hammer in some hex head keys to get them out, but replaced them all with fresh bolts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
