Title: Best place to get a rear drivers side brake caliper for 1.8t AGU?
Post by: The Dave on 22 March 2010, 11:26

Hi guys, my drivers side rear brake caliper is shot, time for a new one and discs and pads.

Where's the best place to get a caliper from and any idea of price? Am I best getting a genuine one? Or would say one from GSF or the likes be ok? Is there any other sources you guys know of?

Cheers :)

I won't bother with scrappies as I wanna know it works fine.

So quick bump :D will gsf and/or euro car parts bits be fine? Generally for the caliper and also rear discs and pads? Ta :)

Hi
Yes but generally advised NOT to change just one caliper,change both on that axle.

No changing 1 caliper is fine aslong as the other one works properly.

Replace discs/pads both sides though if your changing them. And GSF ones will be fine.

Aye discs and pads for both sides :)

What size discs does my 1.8t use? Looking on places like VW spares theres a few sizes :S
