Hey chaps,

 

New to the Polo scene and I was wondering if it was possible to put 6n2 gti brakes on my 1.4 8v 6n as the brakes on my 6n need replacing. 

 

What do I need to do it and how much will it cost me to do.

 

Will I need to replace the driveshafts, hub etc? Or will I just need the discs callipers etc. 

 

Cheers,

You'll need the GTi or 1.4TDi hubs as the mounting is different to your standard calipers, other than the hubs, you'll need the disc's, calipers & new pads, depending on what brake flexy pipe fittings you have you might also need new flexy's The driveshafts don't need replacing, as you will be dismantling the whole hub assembly you'll also need new driveshaft hub nuts and it might pay to replace the bottom ball joints and the steering arm joints if they don't come out of the old hub units without damage.

 

Cost ??? but also include having the front suspension re-aligned as the tracking & camber will need adjusting

hey ! I've fitted 6n2 GTI hubs onto my 6n2 1.4 8v and now the wheels are toed in massively ! 

the hole for the track rod end to go into is 10mm closer to the steering rack than the 1.4 hubs and I've now been 2 weeks without my only car trying to figure it out.  so far the only solution myself and the mechanic at the garage doing it while I'm at work have is to put threads further up the track rod amd chop the ends off to make it fit but surely there's something were missing ? some part that needs changing???? I'm at a loss and I want my car back from what shouldve been a 20 minute job
