VRS Brake Calipers

Featured Replies

My son has just purchased a 2011 VRS and needs to replace the front and rear disc/pads. Can anyone tell me what make the front calipers are? We haven’t had time to take a wheel off yet to check - but they look very much like this photo.

Why do you need to know ? pretty sure all Vrs's are the same.

 

Any decent motor factor will sell you the parts as listed as per the vehicles registration mark.

Looking on Eurocarparts there appear to be three brake systems listed  for the VRS - Lucas, TeVrs and VWII - and different pads for each.

I’d pop the wheel off and measure the disc before buying, looking at the disc drilling and you saying they look very much like that picture I’d say they’re 312mm and not standard.

Generally, their online look-up by registration number gives all the possible systems for the whole model range (i.e. mk2 Fabia), rather than for the specific car of that reg; bizarrely.

If you phone them they may be able to do better, as the info they see on-screen is more detailed and better than their website, I believe.

Without knowing the front brake PR code, I'd take a guess at this being the relevant page of the parts catalogue https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/fabia/fab/2011-697/6/615-615030/ 

 

The Mk2 vRS is not running OEM brake discs or calipers.

Running the same size as the 'Upgrade' option on the Seat Ibiza Cupra CTHE from 2013-2014.

The front bigger housings are ATE, the rears are Lucas, had fun & games repainting these, I kept to standard sizes disc so this was one of options for front discs, http://www.eurocarparts.com/search/10444079a

Thanks for all the responses.  Sorry, the photo was misleading - it was just to show a style of the caliper that looked like the ones on the car.  
 

The discs are oe 288mm.  The calipers look much like ATE as Kobayashi says (they have a wire retaining clip)   In ECP language ATE seems to equate to Teves.

Every day is a school day.

That's because ATE stands for Alfred Teves Engineering. Now you know.

The smaller rear Lucas castings were bought out by American TRW over 20 years ago,I  was an apprentice there. Emblems  & logos are there forever as it too expensive to upgrade the tools with new logo. Did notice on my ATE fronts that there is a small Audi logo
