Hey,

 

Can anyone point me in the direction for a replacement 245 combi rear left caliper please? 

OEM is £330 and I was wondering if there is another option. 

 

Many thanks

As you can see in the Skoda parts catalogue, the OEM part number of the left rear brake caliper on the Octavia MK3 VRS 245HP is 5F0615423. This is a TRW brake system.

On autodoc, TRW BHS1701E is listed against 5F0615423. However, it's not in stock, and it's out of stock most other places as well. TRW BHS1701E is a refurbished, and is shown as being red in colour. Beware that most other brands won't be red, but silver or grey, etc. This is a common problem when you have red brake calipers, as most aftermarket brands seem happy to supply silver or grey colour instead of red.

You can also check the TRW part number on the TRW parts website.

5F0615423 is a TRW brake system, eg. brake caliper, as shown on autodoc if you search for brake calipers using that OEM part number.

 

Maybe consider a rebuild kit instead, often around £20. The rebuild kit consists of a new piston and various seals, etc.

There's plenty of sellers on ebay selling rebuild kits, so there's no need to order from overseas. autodoc is a useful website for finding the make and model of suitable aftermarket parts.
