Started work on the loon today getting it ready to go back on the road .

Mainly maintenece this week thaught i would add the work I'm undertaking to this thread .

Got a few new bits and pieces aswell ..

Picking up new Disk's and Pads tommorow took the old pads out to take to the shop as i have vw11 calipers and dont know the exact pads i need . On inspection as the car has been sat outdoors since edition38 2009 i found that alot had to be done to tidy things up ..

Work continues after a heavy night on the Jager Jerry's last night so i have a right headache ! :lol: I would so advise 2 shots of Jager 1 Shot of sailor jerry's & Coke its soo damn nice and obviously gets you on a level ! :lol:

Started stripping the caliper down as the piston was weatherd .. Needed a good clean .. Clamped the brake line and removed the brake nipple (which involved a blowtorch ! ) Damn brake nipples are shite on old polo's

Mole Grips blocking flow of brake fluid ..

Help needed please .. :)

I have got to the point of putting the brake assemebely back together i have the right sized pads but for some obscure reason the caliper will nto fit ovet the vented disk's and pads ..

Is the piston fully inserted into its barrel in this piccy ?? Doesnt seam to want to go any furthar in (May be broken??)

100_0687.jpg

This is how the pad / disk's sit .. they sit perfectly so I'm asuming this is correct .. ??

100_0688.jpg

Its a pain having non standard brakes ! argh !

Have you fitted a new dust boot onto the piston? If not, then that may be why it was full of shite.

Piston does look fairly home there though. There were two disc thicknesses on the vented 239's, dependant on caliper, can't remember for sure which ones which, but i have a feeling the "later" pattern i.e. the type you have are the thicker of the two?

Pads look awfully thick mind.. maybe cause the one's I fitted last were second hand :lol:

  • Author

Another day complete and a few more bits and pieces to do ...

Found out why the brakes were being a pain there are 2 diffrent thicknesses to the vented disk's therefore 2 diffrent brake pad thicknesses available i got the wrong pads ..
