So, it would appear I need a new OSR brake caliper for my FSI. The pads that side are excessively low, and i suspect that it has been stuck by the residue on the wheel.
Do I get one from Ebay, or is it worth the extra getting the Pagid from Euro car parts?
I tried to wind the caliper back, but it seemed stuck. Should it be done ignition on or off? (Not download manuals yet!!)
Also, the caliper carrier mounting bolts (to hub) I couldn't budge. Torx head. Suggestions for removal apart from Plusgas, wishful thinking, and bucket of luck before the head/tool gets mullered.
Thanks.
