Restore Braking Performance With New Brake Calipers
Brake calipers clamp pads against the rotor to stop your vehicle. Worn or seized calipers reduce braking efficiency and cause uneven pad wear. Using genuine Volkswagen brake calipers ensures correct piston fit, seal quality, and bleed points. These are all critical for safe braking on your vehicle's brakes.
The Importance of Using OEM Brake Calipers for Your Volkswagen GTI
OEM calipers for the Volkswagen GTI are matched to factory brake pad profiles and rotor dimensions to deliver consistent stopping power. Genuine calipers help resist corrosion and maintain piston movement and seal integrity.
Installing a New Brake Caliper for Your GTI
Follow these steps to check and replace a caliper safely.
1. Lift the Vehicle and Remove the Wheel
Secure the car on jack stands and remove the wheel to expose the brake assembly.
2. Inspect for Fluid Leaks and Piston Movement
Look for brake fluid around the caliper body and press the piston to check for smooth travel.
3. Unbolt the Caliper From the Bracket
Remove mounting bolts and carefully slide the caliper off the rotor, supporting it so the hose is not stressed.
4. Replace the Caliper and Bleed the System
Install the new OEM caliper, torque bolts to spec, and bleed brakes to remove air from the lines.
5. Road Test and Recheck for Leaks
After reassembly, perform a cautious road test and re-inspect for leaks and proper pedal feel.
