Title: R Pad Retaining clips
Post by: Rob GTI on July 15, 2010, 12:33:11 pm
Some will call me a tight git but does anyone have the p/n for these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320557791665&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

I'd imagine they'd only be a pound or two from the dealer (which I'm calling in at this afternoon), they're not that helpful for searching for things like this hence the post here.

I know its a long shot hoping they are cheaper and an even longer shot hoping they have them on the shelf when I call by in the next hour or so.  :sad1:

£5 is a good price, the list RRP is about £3 each IIRC  :happy2:

Rob, before the R was conceived, these clips in TTs or S3 livery cost about £28 EACH!

i knew all about that! i bought a set once.

Just come back from the dealers and they quoted £13.69  :surprised: each although I'm not sure they were looking at the right part. The P/N they quoted was V4F0 615 269.

Those are the ones, look good on your VRS. Did you get them from the same ebay seller?

Nope they came with the R32 Brakes from Jon-TFSi on here  :P :P

I take it you have to have R32 brakes for these to fit?
Title: Re: R Pad Retaining clips
Post by: vRS Carl on July 15, 2010, 06:30:42 pm
I would imagine so as the Caliper is bigger on the R32 than the Standard GTi/ED30

Yes I've got a set of Leon Cupra brakes (345 mm) same as R32 but red.

The rears on my R are just normal caiilpers(well slightly bigger than normal), there are no retainig clips visible from the side

Well at least I asked, Are the rears of your R bigger than the S3 / R32 ones?

If I'm honest I don't know, but I would say they are the same
