maxw Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hi,Got a few questions...1: I've got a 2004 lupo 1.4 s (non sport) and was looking to maybe get this manifold on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200883645168however I know there were a few different engines in the 1.4 lupo, theres a picture of my engine below, does anyone know if the manifold will fit?Photo of Engine:Also I need to change my brake discs, but not the pads, will i need to re-wind the caliper in or anything like that? or can i just take the caliper off over the disc, fit new discs then put it back on with no problems? Thanks,Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTIChris Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Don't know bout the mani but would say change the pads if you're gonna change the disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxw Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Don't know bout the mani but would say change the pads if you're gonna change the disks.the pads look almost brand new but the discs are well gone, so is there any major reason to change the pads if they have a lot of life in them? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTIChris Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) the pads look almost brand new but the discs are well gone, so is there any major reason to change the pads if they have a lot of life in them? cheersI would say renew them both so they bed in together, your old "new" ones would not necessarily sit fully flush on all surfaces with new disks.Just good common practice really, especially if your old disks were scored.

maxw Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Ok right okay, I'll go and get some pads tonight then!When Doing the brakes, what's the bolt called which usually strips? So I can go and get some spares from VW just in case! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
