Any1 know where to find exchange front calipers?
 
Need to find, a recon front brake caliper, or at a push new one for my car.
There was someone on ebay doing them, now i need one, theres not a listing.:mad:
Was around £175. Cant remember if that was before, or after cashback.
Caliper has got bent. Plus rubber gaters have rotted out, seizing pistons.

I had mine done by a company called Transhock. I'm not sure they deal outside trade anymore it was a push to get mine done. There must be other refeb specialists out there but i don't know of any. Is it Lucas calipers?

My local motor factors offers the service, it's a send off and return, but it was about 70 quid for a refurb on an espace caliper.

But if you say the caliper itself is bent, I'd be a little worried about it.

Thanks for the replys. Steves mate rang around and got hold of one. Well we thought so. Till it arrived today. Right part number, but mine has Alloy, where this one was all cast. After Audi did some more checking, they so say, have the right one on the way.
So fingers crossed,
