Front calipers/refurb?

Post by murph7355 » Mon Apr 30, 2018 6:11 pm

Does anyone have any recommendations for caliper refurb companies? One front caliper has a seized bleed nipple...new calipers from Audi are a tad expensive, so am scouring eBay...but if there are refurb places out there that deal with this sort of thing, that would be welcomed too.

Had a set done by Godspeed Brakes and was very pleased. Website not the best but their Facebook page shows more of the work they do.

Try these guys. I’ve heard good things but haven’t tried them personally.

Cheers guys.

I did see BCS when Googling, but it looked more like a service for stuck pistons rather than other bits...have emailed them.

SurreySam - you're right, their website isn't the best! I don't do Facebook so have mailed them. Ta.

Brakes work OK, but would benefit bleeding.

Think I have one, will check and let you know. PM me, I should be discussing with the garage in the next day or so.
