Hey,

 

Had a big bit of my rear brake cover plate rust away at the weekend, both need replaced.

 

Do they need done ASAP? I understand they protect the inner parts of the car am I right? It's a calliper and disc off job as well eh!

 

I was wondering if someone had the part number for the rear brake covers. 

 

https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/octavia/oct/2013-753/6/615-615062/#8 - I'm wondering if its this part number (8) on the diagram?

 

Had a search before hand but didn't come up with anything.

 

Thanks...

They're there to shield the discs from water and grim from the road.

 

As far as I know, they're not a necessary part of the braking system, more a bit of protection. Mine on the rear are looking a bit worn and I think when I've the time, a lick of hammerite wouldn't go amiss.

I think these are correct:

Cheers for the help. Will get replacements ordered. Thanks for the link. 

be worth when you get them taking the belt and braces approach and throw a lick of paint on them, then fitting.

 

They seem to be the most mildest of mild steel.
