2001 A6 Allroad v6 2.5 TD! front calipers

Hi there, new to this forum, new Audi owner. Bought an Audi allroad, needed brakes bleeding. Bleed nipple sheered off, tried drilling, made a mess! Anyone suggest a good supplier or breaker in the Birmingham area where I can purchase a decent replacement. Best quote so far, £170+VAT with £50 surcharge(GSF). Lucas type calliper alloy. Any suggestion would be appreciated. :-)

Hi. Send an e-mail to Andy Coggan at Motors in Motion (breakers in Birmingham I believe). andy coggan

Andy supplied a self-levelling sender for me and it came with a 3 month warranty. still going strong after 12 months.

For future ref, spray first with WD40 and use a brake spanner or you will at best strip the nipple head! Brake fluid replacement should be done every 2 years so worth the investment!

Just checked for you - they are in Nottingham and now have an e-Bay shop

Thanks very much. :-)

I just bought a nearside alloy HP2 four pad caliper from brakes international, it was an OEM TRW part for £205 all inc;

Although I was tempted to go for a cast iron caliper at nearly half the price, I know the pistons etc are exactly the same so it would be down to unsprung weight.
