Rear caliper question.

[hardmonkeys]

Hi all,

Will a caliper from another trim model fit my car?? I know the turbo won't fit they have bigger discs, but if I see a 1.6 or sommut, will it fit..only reason I ask, is because my nearest scrappy is 30miles away, and I know they have Golfs but no GTIs

Golf 2.0 8v | 1.8 | TDI 115 | TDI 110 | TDI 100 | TDI 90 - 280mm - you need the hubs and discs, calipers and pads are the same.

Golf GTI 1.8T | Golf 130/150 TDI | Golf V5 150 | Seat Leon 130/150 TDI and 20VT - 288mm - you'll need everything! Hub, calliper, carrier, pads, discs, splash guards.

All this is a hell of a lot of work. Buy yourself some decent pads, discs and brake fluid, you'll find it makes a hell of a lot of difference!

Is he not on about the rears not the fronts mate ?

[hardmonkeys]

Yes..I know. I got pads and disc...it wasn't a conversion question lol...

I need a new rear caliper...and wanted to know if I need to,get,one off a GTi...or are most the same lol

[Felton]

I think the rears need to be off a gti mate as think they are a bit bigger but not sure mate

[hardmonkeys]

Cheers mate.

Got a unit from ECP...thought it'd be better than trying a unit off a scrapper

The rear discs are the same on pretty much other than the the 4 wheel drive variants and the Leon Cupra r, golf anni, and Octavia vrs.

I think all lower spec mk4's had the same rear brakes only the TDI 150 and Anni's had 256mm
