    I have just finished replacing rear discs and pads and overhauled the genuine rear callipers on our daughter's Octavia. The replacement calliper repair kit contained slider pins of equal diameters top and bottom, each pin had three equidistanced flats, whereas the originals, on the callipers, have pins of different, top and bottom shape.
    The original pins looked OK, so I replaced them as I was unsure.
    I was wondering if anyone had come across this setup before and maybe knew the reason why the original pins are different top and bottom. Original Top has a tapered pin, tapering in three parallel steps. The bottom original is parallel but has three equidistanced flats.
