Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features an aluminum casting and piston, contributing to reduced weight and corrosion resistance. The gray caliper finish offers rust preventative protection, extending the service life of the component. The caliper includes a single 57 mm piston designed to provide consistent hydraulic pressure for effective braking. Installation hardware is included, such as the caliper slides and bracket, but brake pads and anti-squeal shims are not part of the package. The bleeder screw is included with a size of M10-1.0 x 28, facilitating proper brake fluid bleeding during installation.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Replacement for worn or leaking brake calipers on compatible Audi A4 and A5 models
• Addresses brake drag or uneven pad wear caused by faulty caliper slides
• Resolves brake fluid leaks from damaged or corroded caliper pistons
• Improves brake pedal feel and responsiveness by restoring hydraulic integrity
• Eliminates noise issues related to caliper hardware malfunction (excluding anti-squeal shims)

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the 99-02171A caliper on Audi A4 or A5 vehicles, ensure the brake system is properly bled using the included bleeder screw to remove air from the hydraulic lines. Verify that the caliper slides are clean and lubricated before assembly to prevent binding. Note that brake pads and anti-squeal shims are not included and should be sourced separately if needed. Use the provided bracket and installation hardware for secure mounting, but be aware that bracket mounting bolts are not included and may require reuse or replacement.
