Bendix calliper aeal kit

Recommended Posts

Hi. Just servicing the front brakes on my CTI. Does anyone know which brake seal kit I need as the seals on the sliders are perished. 
 

Seen some on eBay, they look the same but eBay says they don’t fit my car. 
 

Any help would be appreciated. 
 

Thanks

They should fit fine, never trust the ebay application listing.

 

Check the piston diameter but I'm not aware of any differences.

ebay compatibility guides aren't reliable

 

had both base model and 1.6GTi (vented) front Bendix

happy enough with original spec for pretty much everything on the cars but not those front Bendix brakes

would recommend getting a set of GTI 1.9 Girling calipers and refurbing them

If originality is everything, then yes. But if you want decent brakes, fit some base model hubs and a world of decent calipers opens up.

I think the seal kit shown will fit the caliper.

 

The Bendix calipers on a standard 1.6 GTI are absolutely fine even when you drive the car pretty hard.
