Volkswagen Polo R-Line Brake Caliper Refurb - What A Massive Improvement!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I finally tackle the worn-out brake calipers, The Volkswagen Polo R-Line is supposed to be a sporty-looking car with a stunning R-line body kit. What really lets the car down is the tired and worn brake calipers, previously sprayed purple and black, can I make them stand out and look the part without spoiling the look of this sporty car. Follow me: trying to restore a wrecked VW Polo R-Line and flip it for a small profit (hopefully). Just remember I'm no mechanic and I learn as I go, I record everything and nothing is hidden even my mistakes!

    Suggest clear coating over the sticker on the caliper, they will look more oem and last longer without peeling off with the heat, gppd job so far though.

    I think you need to put a nut and bolt on that fuel filter to hold it in and the calipers are looking a lot better.👍👍👍👍👍

    I rang VW for a service kit for a Polo im doing, 1.2 Petrol, he said filter is a filter for life and doesn’t need swapping on the service…. I didnt argue lol

    It's interesting that VW mentioned the filter is a 'filter for life.' While some modern cars have longer-lasting filters, it's always a good idea to follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and guidelines. If you're ever in doubt, getting a second opinion or checking the owner's manual can be helpful. But I would still replace regardless just for peace of mind lol

    What is "for life" 100k 10yrs? Filters are cheap and easy to change. Personally, i change my filters every second service (10k). Anyone who thinks gearbox oil never needs changing or 20k oli changes is fine deserves to ger expensive repair bills.

    Have you tried cleaning or replacing the idle air control valve to fix the idling issue? They're relatively cheap.

    I was wasting my time with primer and lacquer then! Not happy with zipping a fuel filter. Bet that’s a mot failure ? The rear discs looked shagged to me. Not looking like a massive profit here

  • @RevivingSalvage

    I think the spray I used is designed to be used directly onto the caliper but primer wouldnt hurt and would probably give a better finish. I think I will be going back over them with lacquer later on just to give them added protection so you definitely haven't wasted your time. I agree with the cable-tie I did try to replace the bolt but unfortunately it was to far gone and I just replaced like for like but I will definitely make it secure. As for the brakes honestly they are nearly new just don't show well on the camera, cheers for the feedback

    Rear brakes are totally fine. Fuel filter is not a fail. Stop being a hater. it's obvious you ain't got a clue about working on cars. Why replace parts that are totally safe & and serviceable?
