Under the car checking something else ( exhaust ). Brake fluid all over rear n/s tyre ( inner side) ! Wheel off, but cannot see where its leaking from. The disc is dry ( both sides ) but the handbrake mech rubber cover is wet under the return spring. Are there other seals subject to brake pressure besides the main piston ? Drove 10 miles later on and fluid level down, again. Any BTDTs ? How much for a new calliper ? Car is '95 ABY Coupe.TIA, James. PS : Was going to Goodwood this Friday !! Any help appreciated.

rear s2 brake caliper
I need to get hold of a rear caliper as well. did a pad change last weekend and the piston rubber has split. slight corrocion meant it was a sod to screw back into housing. i think they're difficult to get hold of, but im yet to try main dealer. search the forum listing for brakes cos there was a bloke the other day tring to sell one but it was no good for me cos it was for the passenger side of the car. let me know how u get on. where are you based in surrey, im over in hants but not too far from farnham, surrey.

ebc rear s2 brake caliper
Hi mate, i knew EBC did brake pads/discs, etc but didtnt realise they do calipers as well. Have contacted them with an email, hope to hear back from them soon. Also looked at getting one from eurocar parts. They list it as the same fitted to other quattros of that time i.e. 80/90/100Q but have been informed that the s2 rear caliper is totally unique to the car. Is that the case, and if so am i gonna have to go direct to vag if i dont hear back from ebc?

all the same calipers,you can buy a repair kit from vag for about 14 quid i think,new ones are always best though,ebc is on an exchange basis by the way...Comment

Try Four Ring Spares - I got a replacement caliper from them last summer, about £40 IIRC.Ex S2 owner, now running around in an A4 Avant quattro...
