T6 T32 204 front brake hoses

[Constalation]

All,

Hope someone can help. I want to change the flexible hoses on my front calipers but there seems to be two variation 550mm and 600mm. Which one is needed or can someone post a part number.

I want to change them as the brakes are binding on one side and after stripping and lubricating the slide pins it is better but still binding. Thought was maybe the flexible hose is damaged and not letting pressure back.

Any help most appreciated

More likely to be the caliper piston sticking........better off just replacing the caliper.

Just measure the original is the obvious course of action.

More likely to be the caliper piston seals or something along those lines than a hose, bear in mind a brake hose will tolerate being clamped off entirely with no permanent deformation.

Thankyou. Any recommendations for buying them. Checked Eurocarparts and no stock

Try @BognorMotors they may have some left after fitting big brake kits. VW dealers or TPS will be able to get hold of one, they might sell just the seals as thats all your likely to need.

Seal and piston kits cost peanuts if you are happy to overhaul the calipers. I’ve not sourced T6 caliper parts but Autodoc tend to have a good choice.
Just make sure that it’s the correct kits for the caliper.
