brakes

Been trying to order some new brake pads, I give the reg number over to suppliers and they all tell me that there are multiple pads for my van and need to see the pads! Well I dont want to take the pads out just to look, then have to put them back whilst I order some, so does anybody here know...

so what do you think about these. Over the last week or so I’ve noticed a grinding noise from the rear brakes (over the music) Car has done 16000 miles over 2 years - used at weekends for the first 18 months and now used most days for a 40 mile commute on the motorway Front brakes look fine...

I need new discs and pads on the front of my shuttle. Can anyone advise on a decent make etc as a replacement to the factory fit. Thanks

Mates Just installed an H & R ARB set. My van is running lowered VMaxx adjustable coilovers. Bought a set of shorter drop links to avoid any binding and keep the ARB attitude stock at the lowered level. It made sense at the point of purchase, I assumed the ARB was higher up and had links down...

Anyone know where you can get S/S brake lines for a T32.T6 (2016) ?

Hi, We have a 2016 LWB T32 Shuttle and are needing to change the front brake pads. We where quoted £135 ish by the local garage but they said there where 2 diff kinds of brake pads for our van and we would have to find out which ones prior to them ordering them in. I phoned VW service who...

Having a friend change my front disc and pads next week and also brake fluid change as it is recommended by VW. Anyway is the standard Dot 4 correct as it shows it meets certain standards but does not show the VW standard shown on there own brake fluid? I have a look online and these both come...

Basically, when I move the van off the driveway in the mornings I just dab the brake to stop at the drop kerb and my passenger (usually the dog or the wife) gets a mouthful of windscreen. It's the same sort of effect you'd get if you stamped on the brakes but I'm only applying a small amount of...

I don't know if because it's a van with larger brakes, or if VW use a soft brake pad........or it's just cost cutting crap, but I've never known a vehicle that contaminates its wheels so quickly in brake dust. Clean them and after one drive, they're manky again. And I ain't heavy on my brakes at...

Is there a way without taking any wheel off as I'm working away this week to find out what size my discs are? I've provide my registration number and I've been told there are two different sizes for my model of vehicle...

Van is going to need the brakes doing in the near future. I've just had a look on the VW website and it shows me prices for vans over 3 years but not under. Front disc and pads : £365+vat Rear disc and pads : £335+vat So my question is has anyone had brakes replace before being 3 years old...

The last couple of times I’ve started my T6 the “Brakes Workshop” indication has shown on the centre display on the dash but as soon as I start the engine it clears, the brakes seem normal with the van ,I have searched for this issue but can’t find anything, thanks in advance

driving the 66miles each way to Bristol today and on the way back, a red warning for brake fluid ‘check owners manual’ came on and went off about 11 times. Any ideas?

Hi my 66 plate has only done 15k and the brake warning light is on ? Question 1 why ? Question 2 Could this be claimed on warranty ? Thx all

Hi, After driving for about 10 mins got a dashboard warning "Check Brake Wear". Van has done 18k miles - was serviced about 4 months ago (mileage was 14k then) - from recollection service report said fronts about 30% worn, rear about 25% worn - I remember both being lowish wear totals. Looked...

I've got a 2016 Shuttle with approx 18500 miles on. Anyway had new tyres a couple of months ago while a brake check Inc. kwik fit said the fronts were ok but rears was about 60-70% worn. So today the bus went into VW for some other work and I got them to check and they said fronts pads 60%...

I am wanting to paint my brake calipers while they are new and clean. To do this job I will want to remove the brake pads, Caliper & hanger (not as far as disconnecting the hose though). Can anyone tell me what the correct torque settings will be upon re-assembly? Thanks.
