Just spotted these on Ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Movit-Big-Brake-Kit-VW-Golf-R32-Audi-S3-Seat-Leon-VAG-/320666790250?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4aa93ae

Quite a bit bigger than the LCR Brembos. Also I can't see them fitting under 17" wheels

What do people think?

A tad extreme!

2nd hand brake parts from e-bay, er no thanks...

Well my current brakes are used from Ebay, no doubt many others on here have done the same...

Would need 18s to clear, and everyone (should) knows that 18s on a fabia is not good for performance reasons. They fit to achieve a kind of aesthetical look, but then why would you need R32 brakes? LCR brembos are big enough, well, TT 312s are "enough". I just wanted more.

Jason, I think you have summed up my problem pretty well... "aesthetical look" & "I just wanted more"

How many people went out and bought brand new 312`s for their fabia? I`d guess at next to none and that they nearly all come from here/ebay/scrap yard.

Stage 2 saga update- good, bad and ugly

MarioVrs · 2 minutes ago2 min

Little update since i posted about my Superb 280 going stage 2 back in may. I have questioned the high torque figure ( 618nm) with the tuner and was assured that it's a safe map, ok i left it at that. Three days after remap, car starts burning oil without even being pushed hard. So i switched to thicker 5w40 Castrol Edge ( issue rectified) Week later i pinned it from traffic lights and car cut power after 5000rpm. Gear changes felt really rough and jerky. Questioned it with the tuner, got nowher

Fabia vRS rough idol on cold start-up

AJR77 · 9 minutes ago9 min

I’m having a issue on start-up from cold there is a noticeable lumpy idling. This hasn’t caused any massifier codes when scanning via VCDS. Last year as part of the service the sparkplugs were changes but the rough idol is getting more noticeable. My Audi had the same issue that eventually resulted in constant misfire. That was diagnosed as having a carbon build-up. I don’t want to have the same issue occurring with the Fabia. As the CTHE is direct injection and has done 41k miles I’m guessin

How do you drive an EV for best efficiency?

Gerrycan · 5 hours ago5 hr

It may be a conceit, but I believe I have a reasonable idea on how to get good mpg from an ICE vehicle, especially around our urban environment and without breaking laws. I don't hyper-mile or drive slowly or do anything to annoy other drivers, I just allow a couple of extra metres and anticipate traffic conditions. I'm also aware that there is a difference in best economy and best efficiency of an ICE engine. I've got no real experience with EVs other than the occasional drive, but I am intere

Fanbelt squealing 2.0tdi, is tensioner spring broke?

Fanbelt squealing 2.0tdi, is tensioner spring broke?

paxjuly · Friday at 13:262 days

I just put a new Alternator clutch on my2.0tdi CFFB but the new belt is squealing. The tensioner was new a year ago, but doesnt seem to have the tension needed all the time. It can feel loose, or feel ok but starts squealing . When you move the tensioner bolt, it feels like it is catching and needs pushing back into position. Is something broken? Is there an easy fix or do I just put a new tensioner in? (I know how difficult it is to do)
