Hi all,

On the way to Biringham today the car the brakes started to bind "front left"

When i took the brakes apart the piston would not retract. I managed to get the piston out and the

and it had a rusty patch on it.

Link below sell Felicia pistons but they dont look like the same cup shape "cup shape" - but will it still work?

Where can i get a service kit "seals

car is a S reg 1998, 1.3 mpi

That's not a Favorit/Felicia piston in the link, that's for the rear-engined S100/S110 that predated the Estelle

Skoda list a service kit with a new piston and seals for about £12. Other motor factors should do similar. There's no difference between Felicia and Favorit calipers, and I believe it's also the same Lucas caliper as used on the front of some Ford Sierras (certainly the pad fitment is the same).

Ive been trying my best to find the relevant kit and no luck.

Dose anyone have a part number as im sure rust will appear on the piston again and i will be stuck - again.

I need the piston as well as the seals.

Thanks all......

54mm piston in a felicia caliper, try a local motor factor, the piston kit is very readily available for those, rebuilt both mine last year

Or if you want to try a dealer, the Skoda part number is 6U0 698 471 D for the kit of piston, seals and new caliper bolts.

Excellent....just what i wa looking for!!!

Thanks to all.

Dang it I'm cursed! :'(

Every time I mention a part that I haven't yet touched on my car, it promptly breaks - this morning I notice my front left is binding, and I know the pins weren't anywhere near seized when I last looked. Oh well, guess that caliper refurb isn't going to wait until the summer - at least I don't have to look up that part number again!

Rang up the Skoda dealers today and quoted the part number and i will be collecting it on Saturday morning.
