RS6 C5 Front brake caliper spares needed (piston)

Post by Chakkanay » Wed Mar 18, 2015 9:11 pm

Hello all. Just had the front calipers off as one of the pistons had stuck pretty solid. It got damaged removing it so needs replacing along with another one that was slightly corroded.

Does anyone have two pistons they are willing to sell? Seems a bit of a waste to have to change all eight as a kit.

Regards,

Chakka.

I have a spare calliper I with no mounting bracket but all the pistons and seals are intact. I paid 120 for the calliper, I run v10 brakes now so I don't really need this. It's just gathering dust.

Hope this helps, £120

Regards

Ed

Thanks for the reply RS6Spec. I sent you a PM but it seemed to stay in my outbox for a couple of days so not sure if you got it or not.

I did wonder if that might be the case hoooga. That'll be why, thanks (the newbie).

We are in contact now, thanks. Spent hours last night getting the rear callipers and carriers off. All very corroded. Well overdue an overhaul but will be worth it in the long run. Will be shot blasting all the parts from front and back tonight and then the decision to paint or have powder coated will have to be made.
