brake's ?

Hello and good day!  

gota question, i currently have an 83 driver 1.3, an it has those teves calipers?
heard ther pretty bad braking so if so i would like to upgrade? likes of gti ones or similer? and what would be needed for an upgrade?

all comments and advise welcome!

many thanks!  :mrgreen:

Yeah go for the GTI vented disc option, and while your there probably a good idea to fit the 16v servo and master cylinder.

For the calipers I would change the flexy hoses too, so you'll need some GTI calipers and carriers, discs and pads and some flexy hoses, plus a load of brake fluid and a bleeding kit.

There's a good guide on here for changing the servo and MC, if your struggling.

al try source sum parts, cud mk2 gti calipers fit or is ther much work to make them fit?

is there any type of code on the clipers or carriers that i could tell its them,if im goin to a breakers? or are the gti ones totaly differnt to other mk1 brakes? :dontknow:

Not sure about mk2's, or what markings they'll have on them either, I had some calipers but I weighed them in with a load of other scrap metal! Not helpfull, sorry!

Have a look on ebay, you'll be looking for them to fit 239mm discs.

Youv been very helpfull mate cheers  

any mk1/cabby/rocco 1.5-1.8 will have the calipers and carriers you need, just make sure they're late enough to have the VWII setup as very early have the same teeves stuff as you have now. look for VWII cast onto the caliper.

MK2 VWII calipers fit, as do MK3 golf, polo, seat etc they're on loads of cars. but all of the above have the carriers cast direct onto the bearing carrier/hub assembly, so the carriers you still need from the carriers only mk1/cab/rocco or polo mk2/3 will work as well. polo g40 actually have VWII calipers which fit, but they aint exactly common in scrappy unlike poverty spec mk3 golf
