Hi,

My 2010 vrs TDi has just failed on a leaking offside brake calliper. Any tips where to get hold of one?

Have started the search but just wondered what others have experienced- thanks for any help

I got mine from euro carparts,i got the TRW ones that came painted red,any motor factor should sell them,sellers on ebay as well,not sure how much one would be from a dealer though...

Ok thanks for that. You wouldn't happen to know the part number? I've seen some painted ones on Amazon. Having them refurbished could be an option too, £45 plus £10p&p apparently.

My 2011 MY vRS is Bosch rear caliper and 272mm discs. Noting yours is TDI so perhaps they were only 282mm / TRW, if unsure you may wish to check before ordering.

 

Have read a number of people using these guys also for caliper exchange or rebuild kits.  I can't see the Bosch rear caliper listed even for my car reg but I'm sure they'd have it if you call.

And this company list both options. I assume some are after market replacement items. I have bought a few bits and pieces from them before but never a complete caliper.

I got a pair of the red TRW ones from eBay for £150. Can't remember the seller but phoned them as there was low stock and they had a pair left and gave me a discount on them.

I have a pair of petrol vrs calipers off an pre-FL for sale if they would be of use? They are green and fit the 288mm discs.
