Detailed Product Features and Specifications
This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.33542 is engineered with a 41mm piston diameter made of steel, providing effective hydraulic pressure transfer for braking. The caliper’s aluminum construction reduces unsprung weight, contributing to improved vehicle handling. It features a trailing axle configuration suitable for the Volkswagen Jetta’s brake system. The inlet thread diameter is M12x1.0, compatible with banjo-style fittings, and the bleeder screw is included with a 10x1.0 thread size for easy brake fluid bleeding. The caliper comes semi-loaded, meaning it includes the mounting bracket and abutment clips but does not include brake pads or mounting hardware.
About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers
The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a balance between convenience and customization by providing calipers pre-assembled with essential components like brackets and clips, while allowing users to select brake pads separately. This approach supports tailored brake system maintenance and repair, especially for vehicles like the Volkswagen Jetta that require precise fitment and performance standards.
Common Applications and Problem Solving
- Replacement for worn or damaged Volkswagen Jetta rear disc brake calipers

Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure compatibility with your Volkswagen Jetta model year before installation. This caliper requires separate brake pads and mounting hardware, so verify you have the necessary components. Properly torque mounting bolts and bleed the brake system using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain optimal brake performance. The banjo inlet fitting requires correct sealing to prevent fluid leaks.
