A word of warning to all with 4 pot APs

I have just changed my pads (yes I know it is shocking) but I have found all the dust seals on the pistons have failed, they look like they have gone through a few heats cyles too many and just started to go brittle, then they have subseqently just fallen to bits :frowning:
Do they do a rebuild kit? (not that i will do that obviously)
I am quite pi$$ed off really as the calipers are only 4 years old and are supposed to be the up to the job :crazy:
i’m not sure if the S1s have the same calipers or not?

Also noticed both my front ABS cables have been worn down and are nearly through on the wheels :astonished: I am going to re route the cables once they are repaired…

I had to have the dust seals on mine replaced last winter. Like your own the had become brittle and failed.

There is a kit to fix it although not sure how much.

Nothing uncommon on any make of brake caliper, they can go through quicker than that if your doing a lot of track days.

As Will says a dust seal kit should be readily available from AP.

thanks, not quite so worried now, I think they failed a long time ago by the looks of them, i’ll contact AP and find out the best course of action
