TT/S3 brake upgrade - brake line
For all those who have upgraded to 312mm front brakes, what brake pipe/line did you use?
Re: TT/S3 brake upgrade - brake line
The original lines that are on the Polo.
Re: TT/S3 brake upgrade - brake line
Original lines when I did mine. Bit tight but they fit and work.

Sweet
A friend used S3 lines and says they have different "banjo" fittings, I plan to have braided lines made up so the shop wants the oem line to match the fittings

Re: TT/S3 brake upgrade - brake line
Yeah, I made the mistake of switching the calipers and realised it was left to right, when they were wrong, the brake pipe didn't reach but once swapped correctly, they fitted perfectly
