OEM Volkswagen Brake Calipers Online

Everything You Need to Know About Brake Calipers

What They are

One of the most important parts of a disc brake system. Others include the brake pads, which attach to them, and the rotors and pistons.

How Many a Volkswagen Vehicle Has

That depends on the model you drive. Many Volkswagen hatchbacks, cars, and SUVs are equipped with only front calipers only. Some have front and rear calipers.

What They Do

They contact the rotors using the pads between. This generates the friction needed to slow down and stop your vehicle fully.

How They Work

When you apply the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder activates. This action pressurizes brake fluid and forces pistons to clamp them to the rotors.

The Signs They're Going Bad

• ABS warning light turns on
• Buildup around the seals
• Corrosion
• Leaking brake fluid
• Unreliable brake pressure
• Pulling sideways during braking
• Squealing sounds
• Continuous grinding noises

If you notice any of these issues, you should perform a brake caliper inspection. If it's time to order new brake parts, however, make sure they're genuine.

Why Buy Genuine OEM Brake Calipers

Volkswagen designs them to fit the specific model you drive. You won't find this guaranteed on the aftermarket.
