MK5 Gti brake caliper
« on: March 16, 2010, 05:13:35 pm »
hi all bought my car in jan and seem to have no end of trouble with it :sad1:
its gone in for a cambelt change (all under warranty) and was told that there is a problem with the rear brake caliper. only thing is is there isn't 1 in the country apparently. so im waiting untill april for 1 2 come from germany, that means that they will have had my car for at least a month before i get it. :mad: :fighting:

Thats ridiculous mate! If its a warranty issue I'd be telling them to take a brake caliper from a stock vehicle they've got and put the replacement on that when it arrives.
