Nialls supercharged GTi6 - project tidy up

[Niall]

Well small update
Finally got my longlife fitted! Sounds much better on the 6 than it did on the 1.8. Still got some oil in though as when i gave it some and it got hot, was smoking like a transit lol



also, MOT is due very soon and ive got two things to fix. Rear brakes and wishbones and tracking. Couldn't do the wishbones as Kris cant get them till tuesday so thought id tackle the brakes. That was a mistake!



New pads and discs for £30 thanks to the 30% off at ECP.
Removed the wheels and straight away was aware that both discs would barely move (and yes i had the handbrake off.....)
Whipped the discs and pad carriers off to wind the pistons back and they were seized Ended up removing both callipers and stripping them, cleaning them up and freeing them up. Work much much better now (well actually work!)



clearly wernt working properly. Other side was worse!



Before



After

Hope i dont have to do that again any time soon!
