Fabia VRS disc pad anti-squeal shims ?

[giandougl]

My brake pad anti-squeal (shims) need replacing so could someone have the part numbers ?

The front has one stainless steel anti-squeal (shim) sitting outside of brake caliper piston, with a three prong attachment the inside of the caliper piston...
There's also another two stainless steel anti-squeal (shims) one at the top/one at the bottom of disc pad for the locating lugs.

At the rear the stainless steel anti-squeal (shims) just has the top and bottom one fitted.

If anyone can help I thank you, all very much appreciated.

Sorry i cant add anything to this thread but i do have a question....

I have never seen anti squeal shims and my front brakes squeal ALOT, im wondering if that's my problem

Don't think you can get them on their own, they come with genuine pads.

What do you class as genuine pads, as I fit Mintex brand and no shims were in the box?

The original were Feroda (when car was new) do you mean this brand?

Thanks 'Tech1e'

I mean when you buy a pad kit from skoda it comes with all new shims and bolts etc.

Can't the shims that are taken off with the old pads be refitted?

[Tech1e]

If they are in good order yes.What tends to happen though is someone along the line fits non genuine pads and either the shims aren't fit for reuse of they just get binned anyway.

I have seen these, (thanks) however one shim is missing from picture compared what's fitted to my 2005 Fabia VRS.

A shim with 3 prongs sits inside front brake caliper piston and butts up against the back of a brake pad.

I'll enquire with Skoda to see what they say about the shim not displayed.

The one with three prongs should be attached to the brake pad!

'trundlenut' member, no prongs attached to any brake pad as these 'Heat Shield' shims are quite a separate item. (see top of this page)

Good Spy Baldy Guy, my front drivers side started to squeal, one of the lip's had snapped off, and the clip was actually scraping against the disc, bent the other side up and that has stopped for the moment, and my pads are like new, so did want to replace them lol,

 

Clips away to be ordered I take it they are the same for the 2007 LE VRS?
