  • 'I dont believe it'

    Just put my car on the ramp to do my MOT. Everything is ok except for two front tyres and ............. wait for it................

    A LEAKING FRONT CALIPER :mad:

    This time its the O/S hi-spec unit. What the hell is going on at that firm. They will be getting a right ear bending on Monday morning. Its leaking that badly that the fluid is dripping onto the wheel when parked up.

    Just hope its not on those expensive ferrodo pads! or they will be supplying a new set of them.

    Ask them for money to recondition the alloy wheel since it has taken the lacquer off

    Lee can do non leaking brake upgrades

        Corey, I know! I wish you had joined the forum sooner, as I had just order the kit when you joined up! Bo!!ocks

        I just hope the fluid hasnt sprayed up the side of the car off the rim. Thenthat will be a messy insurance claim for someone!

        I cant beleive my bad luck with this car.

        PS Slightly tuned 3B for sale offers over 7k secure! LOL

            This is a copy of the email i just sent Hi-spec. If this doesnt work then whats next?

            Anyone on the forum work for trading standards?


            ------------------------------------------------------------------------
            I bought a Monster 4 brake kit for my Audi S2 back in about August/september time. You replaced, after many phone calls, the N/S caliper that started to leak in Decemeber, and this week the car went for its MoT and the O/S caliper is now leaking fluid so badly it has gone onto the wheel.

            This sort of product should be made to a high standard and it is clear that these calipers are not. I will be contacting Trading Standards about this problem as I feel that it is very dangerous for calipers to leak fluid!

            I will be needing a replacement caliper sent to me right away as the cars MoT is due on Monday, so it now has to come off the road again due to your poor quality product. This time hopefully it wont take a week for you to send the caliper out.

            If the brake pads have been contaminated then I will expect you to replace these aswell as Ferrodo DS2500 are not exactly cheap. As for the wheel the brake fluid has damaged the laquer so I will be seeking money for the cost of its refurbishment.

            If this email is not responded to by 12am on Monday, then I will be phoning yourselves to sort it out. If I have no response at all, then my next phone call will be trading standards.

            I hope this matter can be resolved without involving them.

                      I spoke to Fiona on Monday and asked what the hell is going on with these calipers. Basically they couldnt tell why the last caliper leaked Nice one, well done. Anyways, i have made them aware that i have posted on here and today I received two brand spanking calipers. They havent asked for the old ones back yet, so fingers crossed, maybe i can mend the leaking one and keep them for spares

                      They wont pay for the wheel re-furb, but at least they sent me some new calipers. They claim these are the only calipers to ever leak and give probs apart from 2 others. I just said, yeah whatever, heard nough bull**** today thanks.
