    VAG Parts for calliers?
    This is bad advice. Copper grease is not recommended at all for guide pins.

    it can't take the heat and will lead to them siezing.

          Lithium grease is what you get when you buy a guide pin repair kit

              used LM grease (grey colour) when I last did it and still siezed. I wonder whether new guide pins might be the first option as I definately dont have £350 kicking about at the moment....anyone got the part number for the repair kit to hand? Does it include the rubber boots too?

                David, giuide pins are only avaliable with new carriers which is ridiculous but true. The boot kits come with the correct high temp white grease for the pins which is handy.

                  With some time and sandpaper you can clean up the guides to some degree. Bad ones get heavily pitted but its a cheap enough fix if thats all is wrong and your pistons and the hbrake mechanism are still OK. The rubber boots come with the right grease for the guides.

                    Good to know, thanks. Hopefully it'll be ok, I try not to be too hard on the brakes

                          Pins from Ford - fantastic tipoid there Mike - I've missed that one.

                          That sort of thing cracks me up about Audi - they *could* sell us these - but no its much easier to sell us a new caliper.
