Vw caddy big brake upgrade cheap-ish!!

I am finally getting a bigger brake upgrade kit to go on the caddy I’m going for s3 8p 345mm fronts with a 310mm x22mm rear setup I’ve got the whole kit for less than £600.
Will they fit? Let’s find out..

Hey Connor I love the saying to but I have to be honest I’ve copied it from Derek at VGG he says lots of similar sayings 👍

[@materialprufer1024]

To prevent a lot of brake fluid from leaking out of the line, i take off the brake fluid cap, put a foil (bag) on the opening and srew the cap back on. Normally nothing more comed out or it drips very slowly. If it can't get air, it can't flow out of the pipe. Love the mindset on the brake update!

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud that is a really good top tip 👍 I have used that in the past myself and it definitely stops the fluid draining out 👍

[@js5392]

Just put something to hold down the brake pedal in before you do anything and nothing will leak

[@grantlacey571]

Love the way you give full details on every step you do this makes your content worth watching over other channels alone I learn so much I'm thinking of getting a vw T5-6 myself you inspire me with your confidence keep up the good work

Hi Been watching your videos for a while now and love the work you done to the vans especially the nil budget build. I have recently purchased a mk4 caddy and want to change the 15” alloys to maybe 17” . Do you have any idea what vw/audi/seat etc wheels that would be a straight swap ?

I bet a lot of people didn’t even know you could interchange the brakes Great job step by step guide!

Thank you Peter it’s surprising how many different Vw models have the same bolt pattern in a lot of areas so a lot of parts from different vehicles are Interchangeable 👍

Hey bud thank you 👍 I’m glad I’ve done mine they work really well and I’m happy with the look of them.

[@Mr_Cholmondley_Warner]

I bought the same ones. Worth searching for Audi TT MK2 V6 calipers, they are the same as S3 or R32 calipers but were cheaper when I got mine

[@liamting]

I did this to my Q3 and A3 a few years back, I used the newer mk7 Golf R 340mm fronts and 310 rears, very good upgrade however one thing that lets them down is you really need the larger master cylinder to match it all, using the standard master cylinder makes them “grabby” in my opinion.

[@stuartpenn933]

Class vid mate as I'm not mechanically minded learning loads with the down to earth approach keep up the good work fell , also your a bit handy on that bike 😂

Brake upgrades look the dogs, wee update on the performance difference might get you some more views. Done my own brakes for 30 years and always used cooper grease so you get my vote on using it, never had any issues using it so will continue to do it. Iove the content as I’ve got a caddy and had 4 x T5.1’s wish I had one just now but still going too strong for my liking, even got my next seat of recovered front seats n rock n roll bed in GTI grey tartan. Looking forward to see what type of conversion you go for. I like the side kitchen n 3/4 rock n roll bed. Keep up the great work and content 👍👍

[@YTDTETV]

Hey Martin thank you that’s a good shout about how well they work 👍👍, cor you’ve had a few T5’s then I’m enjoying mine. Oh mate very nice the Vw tartan is very pretty, very nice 👌

they look great an all that a nice job but the s3 single pots and discs have a big prob there massively heavy unsprung weight an you do notice it !! ive used 6 pot q7 calipers with only a 330mm disc went back to 4 pot boxster brakes and 2 pieace discs at 312mm an the difference is really noticeable .

[@wandango5913]

I think the feeling around copper grease and brakes is that as they get hot the grease evaporates leaving just the copper behind and the copper filings cause stuff to seize or bind, there is a specific brake grease that is more durable and doesn’t contain copper. Either way I’ve got 1/2 a tin of copper grease that I will still be using. Every time I go to Eurocarparts for pads they try to sell me the specific grease. I’ve heard it from a few places

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud yes your right and funny you mention euros as I had a sales rep come to my workshop from euros and PAGID and he mentioned the proper grease and even said he would rather no grease at all if it wasn’t proper grease.
