    It looks like a 2 piston sliding caliper to me.

    LOL, there is an astonishing amount of paint in that caliper paint can, so everything is getting some red paint

    Will be able to do the TSI's brakes too with what is left in the can

    The Roks looking great mate! First time poster here, came across this thread while researching TSI vs TDI Amaroks. This build inspired me to choose the petrol over the diesel 4cyl.
    They're rare as hens teeth down here in Melbourne but managed to pick up a low KM 2013 TSI this week and have a few questions, this seems to be the main thread for TSI300 discussion.
    How do they go towing a small caravan under 1200kg?
    Does the APR tune have a milder tune to use while towing if needed?
    What KM should I be looking at having the timing chain changed as i've read some horror stories online (mines at 105,000km).
    Cheers, Eric

    Thanks Eric, we still love it after 7 years of ownership, its been a great car/ute.

    Towing is no issue with the TSI Amarok. Ours quite often tows trailers (see photo) and has no issues although you need to have 2000+rpm on to make progress.

    APR's tunes offer switchability between modes and for less power you could opt for the 95RON mode. I always run it in 98RON mode and have not had any issues.

    I'm only on 71K kms but have asked my mechanic about this and he said to replace at 120K kms. If I was you, I'd probably do it now (at 105K) just for peace of mind.
