Nice DYI video friend. Actually, the upper guide pins are a little difficult to remove, the one with the black tie. Somehow removed and while inserting again difficult. The holes were thoroughly cleaned though.

@GaneshBalan

Жыл бұрын

Hi Jinu, trust you’ve cleaned the guide pin holes in the callipers properly. There’ll be a lot of old grease inside. Clean them thoroughly using brake cleaner spray. For the brake job, you’ll need at least 2 bottles of brake cleaner spray or one spray + petrol. The guide pins must move freely without any resistance. The one with the rubber insert is on the bottom hole if I remember correctly. Please interchange and check. Or check my video.

Did the job today, do i need new caliper carrier bolts? And what's torque value of both bolts( caliper pin and carrier bolts)

@GaneshBalan

2 жыл бұрын

Ideally you do need new bolts for the calliper carrier when you are changing it. The workshop manual mandates it. But if you are sure the bolts have been tightened to the right torque and the threads are intact, you can reuse the bolts without trouble. Torque value for calliper pin is 35 Nm and for the carrier bolts is 70 Nm.

Hi.. It would be helpful if you can put a link from where you source the spares😊

Nice explanation sir. Just now I thought of removing the grooves in my Polo which is done 1 L . Do we need to remove the grooves on disc pad also ? If so how to do that ? Also can we do this on ordinary lathe ?

@GaneshBalan

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Karthikeyan, just replace the brake pads with a new set whenever you skim the discs on the lathe. Best to not reuse the old pads as the pads will have irregular finish which will scour the discs again. Some engineering shops have specific brake lathes which are meant to do this job as shown in my video. Some shops manage with the normal lathes too.

I used the brake grease from the OE front brake service kit. It is from TVS Girling. You will get these in local auto spare parts shop too. Please use a proper brake cleaner since it evaporates by itself after cleaning and is very effective.

What causes scoring of the brake rotors? Based on the cars am currently owning, the passenger side( Front Left) brake rotor is the one that gets warped. Kindly explain if you could relate. Thanks!

@GaneshBalan

2 жыл бұрын

Hi, sorry I missed this comment. Scoring happens when dirt/foreign particles from the road gets stuck between the pads and the discs. This causes grooves on the rotors. The discs on the current generation Polo/Vento/Rapid is outsourced to some local vendor and the quality is terrible. The earlier ones were imported from Ate, Germany and had a good quality. I am not sure from when VW made this OEM switch but you can still buy the Ate rotors from their service centre with the part number - 6R0 615 301C. Costs approx. Rs 2200 a piece.

You’ll have to use a screw extractor and remove it. It’s easy. It grips on to the worn out head with its spiral flute and as your turn anticlockwise, it turns the screw and comes off.

Hey why do we have to use the c clamp ? Also how do we know when to stop compressing it?

@GaneshBalan

Жыл бұрын

Hi, the C clamp is perhaps the best tool to push the calliper’s piston back to the fully compressed state so you can insert the new brake pads. Once the piston is fully compressed inside the calliper, that’s it the C clamp won’t push it any further.

Great attention to detail. My polo tdi 1.5 also needs this. When I apply brakes at high speed then I feel vibrations in the steering, not on slow speeds. It is 80K run. So I think now is time to get the rotors on leith. And, what is recommended tyre pressure for 16 inch alloys?? Nitrogen gas.... Thanks.

@GaneshBalan

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you Saurabh. 🙂 Best to machine the rotors when you change the brake pads. Get both done together. Tire pressures are a bit subjective - I use 30 psi on my tires (15”) since I’m the lone user 90% of the time. If your family travels along, consider 32 psi. But do experiment with different values (when filling fuel) and see what works best. 👍🏻

Check the thickness of the discs with a vernier or screw gauge. Lathe workshops will have it if the service centre doesn’t. If it is say, 21-22 mm, you can machine it to 20 mm thickness. Anything lower is not recommended.

Good to hear that Rajesh. How has the Fabia been so far? How many km clocked so far?

Hi friend ..One query. Did u ever flushed /added coolant ? Basically Skoda/vws are using g13 coolant right. 2 years back i procured BASF coolant and did a flush using distilled water and added BASF coolant at almost 1:3 ratio. The reason for doing this was , the existing coolant color got faded and at normal operating conditions itself temp goes to 95. So after flushing , there was huge difference in cooling. But after 1 year, slightly rust particles appeared and the coolant tank got rusty color. That also need to change.Original ready to use coolant seems costly for 6 liters . The ASS quoted Rs 9000 for flushing and renewal. That also financially not feasible. Is there any source for procuring OE g13 concentrate /ready to use type?

Hi Deepak, it would be a good idea to gradually apply the brakes initially than hard braking to generate heat and transfer the frictional material onto the rotors. Some say this is placebo and you can just go about the usual way of braking.
