they have some sort of a pin holding them in, when pushing from underneath they pop up. to disconnect the hose simply pull downwards; turning it slightly while pulling down may help
the new ones also have a rubber seal that sits between them and the bonnet ;)
guide:
pop up the bonnet
take off the hoses from underneath the washers
push them up by hand or something else if strength is required
pop the new ones in from the top of the bonnet
re-connect hoses
done
Hi
Fiited one to a clio R27 about 1-2 weeks ago. I know people mostly slate them but had a couple of runs with the guy before and after and it pulls slightly better with the K&N on. I think the CAF being routed down in the gearbox/driveshaft area where air isn't that hot made a difference. now...
the megane II 15" 6,5J ET45 steel wheels is what you're looking for. I bought a set for mine and some 195/50 tyres with them. they should be about 50/corner
your's was pretty high before the springs, mine's about the same. I'm pretty tempted on these springs, thanks for sharing!
keep an update on the handling!
I recently had a highway run and at 80 they do spray at the bottom of the windscreen but the area covered is better. however at low and medium speeds they work good and I like the fact that I won't bother adjusting them
not quite true.. I know many cars having red calipers out of factory without having brembo's. brembo are also yellow, bronze, even black.
to the OP- you'll find pics around here with painted calipers in many colours so take a look and decide
I painted red the calipers of a mate's clio 172...
the GTI mk V has red calipers (for example) and they're nothing special but look good though. so can't go so wrong in painting them like this. yeah it depends on the colour of the car a little - if you're yellow or green then probably red won't cut it- otherwise black suits every colour if you...
push really hard on the brake pedal, the plate on which the pedals are mounted will bend :D
talking serious you may have the pedals higher than normal. go and check an identical car and measure it's travel. IIRC the travel should be around 13-13,5 cm from clutch pedal to the floor, measured...
in the first pic you can see the part number written on the package ;)
take one of your jets off the bonnet and take a pic to the mounting hole then we'll see if it fits
I wish mine was high, as now it creaks all the time when givin it some. meanwhile I discovered that the whole pedal assembly is lower by some reason therefor I'm lacking travel. So I guess if yours is high it means it's normal ;)
no, the cable has rarely anything to do with the creak. I changed my clutch one year ago and used some copper grease here and there. the creak was gone for a few days. if the cable was one of the parts causing it I should've heard the creak right after the clutch was replaced
should we open another topic and leave this one to the gearbox issue?
scoff, maybe you could share some of your knowledge regarding the fitment of that VW box, would be much appreciated, thx!
