Brake Caliper question
Hi all
Im just looking for a quick piece of advice please if anyone can help?

Im looking at calipers for the front brakes on my 2008 2.4 TDCi Puma, and trying to establish of the calipers from a 2.2 TDci are the same as those on the 2.4?

Reason for asking is that I want to change mine to a refurbed set but cannot afford to have the vehicle off the road while I send mine away for a refurb, so looking at the option of buying some second-hand 2.2 ones I have found and having those refurbed before king them for a (hopeful) straight swap.

thanks in advance

I think you just need to make sure you choose the callipers to suit vented or unvented discs to match what you already have. Generally, 110 fronts are vented, 90s are not. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

thanks for the reply.
I was planning to move to Vented and buy some new Vented discs to go with the calipers. the 2.2 TDCi ones i have found are stated to be for vented discs from a 2.2 - so i was just hoping to check if the fitment/attachment was the same as on the 2.4.
thanks

Caliper fitment is the same.

Vented have a metal spacer between the two caliper halves to accommodate the additional thickness associated with vented discs.
Unvented do not have this spacer...

Actually, how urgently do you need a pair? Like you I have refurbished a pair of vented calipers to fit to mine as I cannot afford to have the vehicle off the road for the duration of caliper refurb

I will be fitting the refurbed calipers soon so will have a pair of OE 2.4 vented calipers spare. Local too in Newport, > 110 XS Double Cab

Would it not make sense to refurb the 'spare' set first and just fit those as a one-off task rather than swap them and then swap them again? Particularly if changing from unvented to vented? Darren

Sorry, misread your first post. Thought you were planning to fit some second hand ones whilst you had your originals refurbed. Darren
