Braided Brake Lines

[brumue]

Hi all,

I'm in the search for some braided brake lines for the GTI.
Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a Polo specific kit? Or am I better off getting them custom made somewhere?

Cheers,
Bruno

What for? Do you have larger brakes already?

go to Brakes Plus they make custom ones for your car as you wait same price as any kit and will meet aus regs call first as i don't think ever location does it

I have mine in stainless braided lines. Goodridge from UK. I can't remember where I bought them from... VAGonline or something when they were open. Unfortunately they have closed. I felt more positive feedback and good bites with this upgrade. There is a polo specific kit.

Also found some goodridge kits for polo on ebay - but there are two versions: Banjo or Non Banjo and don't know what is the correct one for Polo Gti.

Thanks for the help so far.

Yes, it's now got 312mm...

Also found some goodridge kits for polo on ebay - but there are two versions: Banjo or Non Banjo and don't know what is the correct one for Polo Gti.

I asked the seller which kit would be suitable, he wasn't able to assist

When i upgraded my brakes on the forester, i took my existing lines into Hawkesbury Hydraulics and they made them while I waited.
took about 20-30min.
From memory they were $250-300ish for the set?

If you're in Western Sydney, i'd recommend giving them a go.
They are RTA authorised, so your lines will be ADR compliant

Me too, can anyone please clarify if the Polo GTI needs the banjo ends or not??

Thanks!

They are banjo, same style ones as porsche calipers use, which I have and will be going on soon

I have 2 sets of braided lines here, Im sure MK4 GTI ones will fit

They are the ones i got from ECS, also got a set from 034 motorsoprt

You can get Goodridge braided lines from here for 58.76 quid: Volkswagen Brake Lines

Postage is 23 quid to Aus. I am actually wanting to get a line for my bike from there, so if you want to get from them and split shipping costs I'd be up for that.

So, if they are banjo, the part number for the goodridge ones should be SVW0702-4 - http://www.goodridge.net/documents/d...r_AppGuide.pdf

Or cheaper from here - Goodridge Braided Brake Hoses VW Polo Mk5 Banjo 2000on on eBay (end time 08-Jul-10 20:31:45 BST)

later edit: asked some of the ebay sellers if that is indeed for Polo Gti... not one of them was sure about this ...

I'm running on ECS steel braided lines (meant for Mk4 Golf). The fronts a wee bit shorter than stock lines (reroute needed) but rear are perfect length. Pocong GTI: Thorough refreshment buffet for Pocong

[RoSonic]

The story continues... one other ebay seller told me he is sure they'll fit...

But on the other hand, I've found a kit made by HEL specially for Polo Gti - Volkswagen Polo MK4 1.8 GTi (2006-) Brake Lines by HEL Performance

With SS Braided Brake Lines, to replace the stock brake lines, is it just a matter of plug and play? Just going to fit some new rotors and pads tomorrow so just want to be ahead!
