- I am finally getting a bigger brake upgrade kit to go on the caddy I’m going for s3 8p 345mm fronts with a 310mm x22mm rear setup I’ve got the whole kit for less than £600.
Will they fit? Let’s find out..

We need mugs that say “Good enough for girls we date” best saying ever 😂
Hey Connor I love the saying to but I have to be honest I’ve copied it from Derek at VGG he says lots of similar sayings 👍
Ahhh gutted mate ! Hahaha always makes me laugh
Class video mate learning so much with the down to earth approach keep up.the good word
@@YTDTETV ah I thought it was from AvE's channel but he says " good enough for the girls I go out with" 😂
Love how descriptive these videos are. Keep up the great work. Loving the content 👌
Love the way you give full details on every step you do this makes your content worth watching over other channels alone I learn so much I'm thinking of getting a vw T5-6 myself you inspire me with your confidence keep up the good work
Hey grant ah man really appreciate the kind words and feedback thank you 👍, glad the videos are useful. Plenty more T5 videos to follow 👍
I did this to my Q3 and A3 a few years back, I used the newer mk7 Golf R 340mm fronts and 310 rears, very good upgrade however one thing that lets them down is you really need the larger master cylinder to match it all, using the standard master cylinder makes them “grabby” in my opinion.
Love what you’re doing, it’s nice to see the job being done properly, proper mechanics!
Thanks richard they fitted straight on but I wanted them to look nice so put abit of effort in making them pretty 👍
To prevent a lot of brake fluid from leaking out of the line, i take off the brake fluid cap, put a foil (bag) on the opening and srew the cap back on. Normally nothing more comed out or it drips very slowly. If it can't get air, it can't flow out of the pipe.
Love the mindset on the brake update!
Hey bud that is a really good top tip 👍 I have used that in the past myself and it definitely stops the fluid draining out 👍
Just put something to hold down the brake pedal in before you do anything and nothing will leak
What a fantastic upgrade to the caddy, more stopping power and super 🔥looking, keep up the amazing work and videos 👍👏🛠️🇬🇧
Hey Ian thank you sir I’m super happy with them and was an easy swap 👍
Mental timing this Video, doing this to my Van tomorrow!
Thanks for a in depth video no doubt I'll be watching this again tomorrow.
Hey bud thank you that’s mad ain’t it how did you get on with yours?
Loving the look of the new discs and calipers on the Caddy Nathan👌. A big thank you for the informative video too 👍.
Hey Karl.. thank you I’m happy with them. My pleasure with the video sir 👍👍
Great job as usual. Good to see the impact getting some good use 👍 I heard that by keeping the brake pedal depressed, no brake fluid is lost. Great to see other subscribers supporting your good work. 👍
Hey Phillip yep I use the gun every day thank you again mate 🙏 not heard that one about the brake pedal but I shal try it 👍👍
Very helpful and descriptive content, as always! Keep up the good work Nathan.
Thank you as always Kyle mate super appreciate that 🙏👍
I bet a lot of people didn’t even know you could interchange the brakes
Great job step by step guide!
Thank you Peter it’s surprising how many different Vw models have the same bolt pattern in a lot of areas so a lot of parts from different vehicles are Interchangeable 👍
Brakes upgrade look the bomb pal. Sit awesome through the rims. Top notch. Great content on the channel. Keep up the good work.
Hey Craig thank you mate appreciate that 👍👍
Loving your attention to detail.. wish i lived closer to you so i could pay for your good work!!
Hey bud thank you appreciate that 👍
More than enough information to give the have a go hero at home the confidence to get stuck in well done mate cheers 🏴
Hey bud thank you glad the videos are useful 👍👍

Big up to Dave, coming through with the fast delivery of free tyres 👍😎👏
Hey mate I was so pumped on getting a message from him I really was what a nice guy 👍
Hey mate I was so pumped on getting a message from him I really was what a nice guy 👍
Great content Nathan as usual, fantastic upgrade, will get attention at next caddy meet
Hey Micheal thank you mate really appreciate that 🙏 the brakes got attention last meet but for the wrong reasons 😆
Another great job. Happy days!!! Btw, that would look great on your tshirts ❤
New subscriber here, found you by accident looking for ideas for Caddy mods. I've spent a good few hours today watching your content as it's such an easy watch. Keep up the good work!
Planing on getting a caddy in the new year as a project van, and will definitely be using your channel for inspiration.
Thanks!
Hey bud glad you found d the channel and subscribed, thanks for the kind words and hopefully you find a caddy soon 👍👍
Brother u need ur own TV show.... top stuff...wow with the brakes as well

Never realised the difference a nice set of breaks makes, looks mint bro 👍🏻

Hi Nathan I’ve got T5 transporter my son has MK3 caddy have done quite a bit of work on the T5 and bits on the caddy.I am so loving your channel buddy keep up the good work mate
Hey Tony that’s awesome you both having the same vans I have 👍🤙 father and son vehicles 🙏. Glad the videos are enjoyable thank you for the feedback 👍
Fantastic job mate loving the caddy mate ive got to finish mine of now lol keep up the fantastic work mate
Hey Stephen thank you mate as always 👍 good luck with yours.
great vid as always damn them brakes calipers are flipping huge but what an upgrade
Hey bud thank you I’m happy with how they look I didn’t need massive performance upgrade I just wanted a bigger brake setup 👍
Brake upgrades look the dogs, wee update on the performance difference might get you some more views. Done my own brakes for 30 years and always used cooper grease so you get my vote on using it, never had any issues using it so will continue to do it. Iove the content as I’ve got a caddy and had 4 x T5.1’s wish I had one just now but still going too strong for my liking, even got my next seat of recovered front seats n rock n roll bed in GTI grey tartan. Looking forward to see what type of conversion you go for. I like the side kitchen n 3/4 rock n roll bed. Keep up the great work and content 👍👍
Hey Martin thank you that’s a good shout about how well they work 👍👍, cor you’ve had a few T5’s then I’m enjoying mine. Oh mate very nice the Vw tartan is very pretty, very nice 👌
Love the Caddy content Nath. Keep it coming 👌
Thanks Steve appreciate that mate 👍👍
Best vw videos on net mate 👏 smashing it
Hey Brendon ah man super appreciate that mate 🙏👍

Thanks Thomas mate 🙏👍
Wow what a difference mate, perfect video as always 🫶🏻
Hey mate thank you as always 👍 I’m super happy with them.
It just blows me away how many parts are interchangeable with brands within the VW group. You'll be able to bang a few heads on the windscreen now with those brakes👌🇦🇺❤️
Hey bud yes the vw’s share alot of bolt patterns between most of the model 👍 is sweet for upgrades and haha they do stop well.
Another great vid bud , they look as sweet as . You know your stuff Nathan and what you don’t know you work out . Like you that’s what I try to do . I like the built not bought attitude. Looking forward to t5 on Friday .
You asked me to email you about the t5 tailgate which I think I have done to 2 emails but not sure you got them . I know your busy bud , give e a shout if your not getting them as I have started collecting the other bits I need to do the swap . Thanks bud keep up the great work , you definitely put in the hours ..👍🏽🤙🏽
Hey Chris thank you mate 👍 I enjoy working out solutions or how things work it definitely helps when upgrading things or swapping bits. I’m a built not bought guy to 👍 I will check for email abit later mate and reply 👍
@@YTDTETV cheers bud 👍🏾👍🏾
nice work again Nathan top man 👍👏
Thank you mate appreciate that 👍🤙
Brakes definitely look mint Nathan. Might be at the top of my list for next modification now.
Hey bud thank you 👍 I’m glad I’ve done mine they work really well and I’m happy with the look of them.
I bought the same ones. Worth searching for Audi TT MK2 V6 calipers, they are the same as S3 or R32 calipers but were cheaper when I got mine
What a difference, nice one mate keep up the good work 👍
Thanks you sir appreciate that 👍
Cracking job you’ve done there 👌🏻
Thank you mate appreciate that 👍
Spot on mate looks fantastic
Hey Carl thank you mate 👍
These look amazing. Really set the black wheels off. 👍🏻
Hey Anthony thank you mate 👍 I like a black caliper but glad I went for the red as it pops nicely behind the black wheel.
What a difference . Looks sweet .
Thanks Graham 👍
Great upgrade on the caddy 👊
Thanks mate always appreciate your comments 🙏👍
Same breaks on the GTI / R32 mk5, good stuff!
Hey bud yes I read a few posts about them being the same 👍
Great job they look a treat 👍👍 Good job your tyre machine was working 😂😂😂
Hey bud thank you and haha 😂 yes it surprisingly worked very well 😂
They look superb!
Thanks Ian 👍👍
Van looks mega with them brakes on really nice job mate
Thanks Ben appreciate that mate 👍
Top work as per mate.👍
Thanks Garry appreciate that mate 👍
Looking really good Nathan , yet more excellent workmanship putting me to shame , but at least I,ve polished my diesel tanks 😅
Hey John thank you 👍 I hate doing a job twice so do my best first time around. Ooo I do like a polished tank 😎
Hey John thank you 👍 I hate doing a job twice so do my best first time around. Ooo I do like a polished tank 😎
What a difference those wheels look 🎉
I did give them a wee clean for the final shot 👌
Looks loads better mate. And I think I’m a passenger in your caddy tonight 😊
Hey Darren thank you mate 🙏 always appreciate your comment. Hope the passenger ride last night was comfy 🤙
Mint brake upgrade,nice video mate
Thank you mate appreciate that 👍
Looks incredible mate.
Hey Jack thank you mate 👍
Nice job looks awesome
Hey Tim thank you mate appreciate that 👍
Such a big upgrade for minimum outlay, looking 👌🏾
Hey scorcha Thank you mate and your right compared to most big brake kits this was relatively cheap 👍👍
Nice one for the video I did wonder if I could go big on the brakes and I've done my roof black it looks better with the red I did mine
Hey Ian thank you black roof is next on mine 👍
mate them brakes look well nice, and I've just added this to my to do list 👍
Hey max thank you mate, it was an easy swap and didn’t cost to much 👍
I think the feeling around copper grease and brakes is that as they get hot the grease evaporates leaving just the copper behind and the copper filings cause stuff to seize or bind, there is a specific brake grease that is more durable and doesn’t contain copper. Either way I’ve got 1/2 a tin of copper grease that I will still be using. Every time I go to Eurocarparts for pads they try to sell me the specific grease. I’ve heard it from a few places
Hey bud yes your right and funny you mention euros as I had a sales rep come to my workshop from euros and PAGID and he mentioned the proper grease and even said he would rather no grease at all if it wasn’t proper grease.
Those brakes are bigger then my future 😂 nice work man
Hey bud haha that made me chuckle appreciate the comment 👍
Another good vid cheers mate
Pleasure is mine thank you Stephen 👍
Hi Been watching your videos for a while now and love the work you done to the vans especially the nil budget build. I have recently purchased a mk4 caddy and want to change the 15” alloys to maybe 17” . Do you have any idea what vw/audi/seat etc wheels that would be a straight swap ?
Loving the work, keep it up, you will make a RUclipsr, ah yeah.
Thanks Neil appreciate that mate 👍👍
You are going to have us all driving around in Caddy's. I have an electric Mini and you know that isn;t the future, ah no.@@YTDTETV
Looks great 👍
Thanks Garth 👍
Love the Van mate looking at getting one Myself😊
Hey Alan thank you 👍 they are such great vans, they look good even with a few small mods, they drive great and replacement parts are very cheap.
Looking sweet!
Been concidering the same swap myself for my 2k
Hey Christopher 👍 i will be using the front setup on future Vw projects for sure.
aw yeah!
Nice work mate keep it going
Thank you mate appreciate that 👍👍
Makes such a difference. Nice one.
Thank you Thomas appreciate that mate 👍
Put the 340mm fronts and 310mm rears from the S3 on my mark 7 just because the standard brakes looked too small behind the 19" wheels. Great stopping power too.
Great vid again 👌🏻👊🏻
Thanks Gary appreciate that mate 👍
Ahhhhh yeyyyy
Squint its mint
Good video mate 👍
Hey Malcom thank you sir appreciate that 👍
Looks really mint now Nathan mate 👌🏼
Thanks mate really appreciate that 👍
@@YTDTETV no worries bro
Mint job 👌
Thank you mate 👍
Looks great Nathan 🤏🏻👀
Thanks lee appreciate that mate 👍👍
Wow those brakes look sweet 👌👍👍
Thank you Tim appreciate that mate 👍
Good video will be looking forward for move videos make me won’t to pull my finger out and do bits to mine
Hey Chris thank you 👍 I’m sure your find some inspiration to get on with some jobs.
@@YTDTETV hope so mot time tomorrow your caddy do look good
The van looks sweet mate
Thank you as always Nigel mate 👍
They look awesome 👍 always wanted to do that mod on the Vw t4
Hey griffin thank you but 👍 I wonder if the fronts will fit a T5 🤔
I think The caddy is 5x112? I think the t5 is 5x120 , so the disks won’t, the callipers might… those callipers look very similar to the ones on my 2007 Audi a6 2.7 tdi… might be a cheaper option
Got a ea888 gen 3 lump for sale that would look good under the bonnet ! Ah yeee !
they look great an all that a nice job but the s3 single pots and discs have a big prob there massively heavy unsprung weight an you do notice it !! ive used 6 pot q7 calipers with only a 330mm disc went back to 4 pot boxster brakes and 2 pieace discs at 312mm an the difference is really noticeable .
looks f'in mint dude! ... you didnt metion if there's a huge improvement in braking... ill assume there is 😉
Hey bud thank you as always and I did miss that part, they work a lot better and happy with how they look. Ah ye 👍
Look mint!!
Thanks David 👍
Flippin heck that Caddy is gonna stop on a penny. They look great too.
Hey bud thank you 👍 they do work well
Wicked mate thumbs up
Thanks Jack 👍
Nice upgrade. I would love front S3 brakes for my A3 quattro and also my Caddy Maxi.
Thank you the front setup was really cheap to 👍
Maybe in UK, not in Ireland though… 😅😅😅
little lighter/bowtorch to warm that plastic around nut on brake pipe and it comes straight off no problem
Hey Christopher you are right 👍 I’ve used it a couple of times in the past but I had rubber abs cable and a wheel arch liner right there I didn’t want to burn but I suppose I could have stripped them out 👍👍
