 |
|
HY IM NEW TO THIS FORUM I HAVE A ALF A33 1.4IE 1992
TWO QUESTIONS
1.. DO YOU KNOW THE NUMBER REQUIERD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY SINCE I DONT HAVE THE MANUAL AND THE OLD ONE HAS NOTHING WRITEN ON IT. IM GOING TO BUY A BOSCH SILVER OR SUPER SILVER(I THINK ITS CALLED).
2.. I HAVE CHANGED THE FRONT DISKS WITH THE VENTILADED ONES FROM THE 16v ALONG WITH THE CALLIPERS .
AFTER 300KM WITH THE NEW DISKS AND PADS I SEE THAT AT THE OUTER END OF THE DISK SOME RUST APPEARS AS THE PADS DONT TOUCH THERE AT ALL .THE RUSTY PLACE IS NO MORE THAN 0,3CM.
IS THIS NATURAL ON NEW DISKS AND PADS?
THE BRAKING HAS NO PROBLEM, MAKES NO AWFUL SOUND AND DOES NOT PULL ONE SIDED AND RETERNS NO VIBRATION TO THE STEERING WHELL. |

Your brakes are fine.
Just go to a scrap yard and get a good round pole battery 350A+ in the UK I'd pay a fiver (well £5-10 if you don't look like a munter) for a good one instead of £50+ new. |
