What size rear caliper?
« on: 06 August 2012, 16:04 »
I have a bit of a sticky caliper. Which one do I need for a stock Golf mk4 hatchback 2001 GT TDI 115?

Off there preferably - but the sizes and left/right are a bit confusing

Hatchback (with 232mm solid rear discs) 1999 to 2004, Left
38mm piston

What if its the right hand caliper or does it not matter?

I take it you also get a warranty with these

The callipers are handed and you need to make sure you buy the correct one.

Yes I expect you get 1 years warranty

TO be fair I don't think there is much if any difference between the models :undecided:

But you do have to get left or right - the website has a typo and they are both listed as left  :nerd:
