Better to fit a s/h caliper to be honest.

if it has 239mm brakes the low end mk3 4 stud have same calipers as mk2, VWII. but check before you remove the later ones may use a different brake flexi fitting on the caliper. I know the ones on our seat ibiza are VWII but use a banjo bolt rather than screw in fitting
