Purpose and fitment

The presented caliper has been designed specifically for the Volkswagen Golf 1K GTI model, taking into account the suspension geometry and rear axle characteristics. Its placement on the vehicle is the rear right side, which facilitates clear identification when planning repairs or replacing braking system components.

Its original Volkswagen origin ensures the maintenance of factory manufacturing tolerances, proper fitment to the carrier, and compatibility with the brake discs and pads intended for this model.

Construction and function in the braking system

The brake caliper plays a key role in transferring braking force to the disc – it is responsible for evenly pressing the pads, stabilizing their position, and ensuring repeatable operation during successive braking cycles. The design intended for the GTI rear axle ensures:

• appropriate body rigidity,
• proper pad guidance in the carrier,
• correct cooperation with the hydraulic part of the system.

As a result, the braking system maintains stable operating parameters, which translates into predictable vehicle behavior during braking, even during the dynamic driving typical of the GTI version.

Characteristics of the used part

As a used part, the brake caliper is a cost-effective solution while maintaining the manufacturer's original design. This type of component is particularly attractive for maintenance repairs, where a combination of factory fitment and a reasonable budget is important. Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard check of the working condition, including moving parts and seals, in accordance with service procedures for the braking system.

Selection support and purchase safety

The selection of the correct caliper for a specific equipment version and engine should always be confirmed based on the OEM number or vehicle data. In case of doubt, the following practical guide will be helpful: how to choose the right car part by VIN and OEM number, where you will find a step-by-step procedure and a list of questions for the seller.
