VR6Pete 1,456 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Would go off size of the disk. Imagine golf vr6 is 288's unsure what GTI would be. Tried searching the forum for old posts? Dave_ciw 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Early OBD1 VR6s had 280mm same as GTI I think. Later VR6s with OBD2 had the 288mm on the front. Measure the disc ? VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,456 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Popular upgrade is for TT (312mm disc). But you'll need wheels that can accommodate these of course. See write up here: Some people have upgraded the rear calipers for mk4 but only has better hand brake mechanism and no real braking performance gains. Recommend the TT upgrade having done this myself or if you feeling flush go with a 4 pot upgrade. Nick1974 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Google them and call them. Are you using the solid mk4 calliper on the rears of your mk3 or vented? Better stopping with the solids off a r32 or v5 and you can go 256mm disc and use your own carrier.

Feels like when the cars of that kind of feeling not very good at all. The abs dosnt work is that the pump dead. How do you know it doesn't work Nick? Abs light on? Could be a number of things. Rings, sensors, pump etc. Ideally you need to get it on vagcom and see what faults it's reading. Funny enough I had issues with spongey brakes when I fitted mk4 rear calipers on my last mk3. But I just drained the system with a eazibleed kit and started again. Bleed the furthest away first and work your way forward. Link to post Share on other sites
