Can anyone shed any light on wether my car is banjo or non-banjo?

9N3 GTi

And what the hell it means?

Thanks

A banjo fitting is basically a banjo shaped fitting at the end of a tube where the circular bit has a hole in it. A hollow bolt with holes in it to allow fluid to pass through it is fitted into this hole. Basically means that the join can be rotated without compromising fluid flow.

And I have no idea what the GTI is either! Seem to remember reading somewhere that the 9n3 uses banjo fittings but I can't find it again to confirm...

My braided goodridge hoses are banjo fittings, fitted my 288 mm standard brakes and they fit my 312 mm setup now too

Thanks blaze

So its safe to assume that mine are banjo then Jeff? GTi standard brakes

yeah mate, my goodridge hoses were fitted on to standard calipers and then on to the 312 mm conversion no problems

Nice one Jeff, thanks!
