If the engine is not running the servo braking unit is not running. Didn't you notice before that after several hours when you start the car the break pedal is concrete hard? I would say try to start it and the pedal should become normal soft

The pedal will go hard with the engine off. 100% normal.

You shouldn't really need the TTRS MC

Ok thanks.... well its fitted now

... I will try again once i have refreshed the brake oil with VW spec...

At the moment the car is on axle stands all round... as am doing the suspension also.. Once its done and back on the wheels i will test and see

thanks

Ah! It might be all good once you start the engine. That brake oil shouldn't be an issue but I prefer using DOT4. ATE SL6 at the moment but I can try the Motul option in the future.

Hi All,

I have just fitted my 6 pots cayenne with the TTRS MC (25.4mm) to my 2006 R32 LHD (french car) and the brakes on the back are currently standard
Bleed the system completely around starting at the back to front... now i this may sound strange... but my brake pedal is solid... only the slightest movement... is this normal.. i was at least expecting more than a little movement...?

Its just a little worrying for some reason... like i have missed something ?

any advice would be great...

thanks
Duncan

MC is a ATE part number 03.2125-5112.3, which is TTRS 2011-14 models Audi PN is 8J1 611 021 C. No problems fitting the MC.. new o-ring rubber and fitting bolts...all the pipes line up perfectly...
I never upgraded the MC and I have the same brake setup that you have. The brake pedal feels great and progressive. I can put all my weight on the pedal and the car just stops really hard.
Is the MC compatible with the calipers pistons? I think someone posted the compatibility list and the Cayenne calipers were in the wrong side of the chart

I know that but after reading so many good reviews of them without upgrading the MC I decided to fit them. I'm happy like others with their performance.

The part number for the Caddy 2K rears are....

2K0615423B LEFT
2K0615424B RIGHT

You will also need to swap all the brackets on the back of the calipers. Info and pics to come.

Also if you are going to do this mod. then you need to make sure you buy some new hard lines as the will almost certainly be stuck on to your original calipers.

Just finished fitting my front NQSBBK.

Mines soley road car, I used Brembo discs and Textar pads (P/N's below from ECP) and they perform really well together.

To make it easier for people, below is a complete list of the part numbers I used;

Calipers - 986.351.421 & 986.351.422 / Refurbed set via www.brakecaliperrefurbs.co.uk/
Caliper Fitting Kit - AK0002 - Vagbremtechnic
Textar Pads - 101330166 - ECP
Brembo Discs - 10444150A - ECP
Warning Wire - 99661236500 - Porsche / Or disable via vagcom (I did this)
Pad Fitting Kit x 1 - 99635195901 - Porsche
H&R 8mm Hubcentric Spacers - DPM Performance - 1655572

I didn't bother with Shims for the pads, mine do not presently squeel

They look so fresh.

the GTI should have came with these as standard.
Im doing a BBK at the moment. was looking at the 986 calipers but at the time they were going for silly money.

For the costs, I'd definitely recommend this setup - Its not the biggest yet its a big improvement over the standard setup.

No its not an expensive setup at all. just I was replying on Ebay sellers and they were hiking up the price just because.

Im fitting some touareg 4pots when I get the time to. simular setup to the 996TT calipers.

For the costs, I'd definitely recommend this setup - Its not the biggest yet its a big improvement over the standard setup.

These look the business! What did it end up costing? The whole kit without installation.

Interesting! I mentioned the possibility of these in the big mk7 R / PP brake thread. I only had one photo to go on but I thought at the time the calipers looked different.

These should be a definite step up from the single piston setup. Any idea on weights etc? And the TTS MC?

Good find mate [emoji106]

No ideas on the weight but shouldn't be much different from the R/GTI PP/S3/Cupra calipers.

I wouldn't worry about the size of the MC. I still have to check on ETKA if it has a different part number and if so, what size it is.

Just think that my Brembo 18Z have 6 pistons that combined have less area than the single piston of the R/GTI PP/S3/Cupra calipers, and the MC is still 23,8 mm for those brakes. These 4 pistons don't look that big, so it should be ok with the 23,8 mm MC too.
