Spoon Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Any one know where i can get a front caliper repair set I.e. Dust seal. one of the dust seals on mine is split and the other is missing. Spoke to Citroen and they said some parts were available but not the dust seal. Quote
Ronin Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Ooh that's a tricky one but I remember a similar problem with my Astra GTE many years ago and I needed some seals that the main dealer couldn't suppy. This was at only 45,000 mile They suggested changing the calipers at £150 each.... :rolleyes: Needless to say I had a brain fart and contacted the caliper manufacturers ATE directly via post. I explained very politely the situation and to my surprise a few days later a parcel arrived with the seals and a letter of apology hehehe. Free of charge too. Give the manufacturer a try, I think it may be Bosch for the C5....... You never know m8. :angry: Quote
