I've just ordered up a rear brake caliper for my R reg Gti-6, and they've sent me down two saying that there are two for my year and to send 1 back, however looking at them I can't see any difference between the two apart from the part numbers and different coloured handbrake cable holders . Is there actually any difference between the years? Cheers |

maybe something to do with the piston sizes  gti6 rear calipers are 32mm, most of the others are 30mm. edit: beaten to it by a matter of seconds  ________________________________________ 306 2.1 S16 Tarmac Rally CarProject thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=143956 |

that's the only difference I've seen in them, they are otherwise identical when I've had them in bits.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
