Details on Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line is engineered to provide a balance between ease of installation and component completeness. This semi-loaded caliper includes essential hardware such as the mounting bracket and abutment clips, but excludes brake pads and pad wear sensors, allowing for customization based on specific brake pad preferences. The caliper casting is constructed from aluminum, reducing unsprung weight while maintaining strength. The floating caliper design with a single 41mm steel piston ensures consistent brake pad engagement and reliable stopping power. The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with an M12x1.0 thread diameter, compatible with factory brake lines on Audi and Volkswagen vehicles.

Product Application and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Audi Jetta and Volkswagen TT Quattro
• Addresses issues with sticking or seized caliper pistons
• Resolves brake fluid leaks from caliper inlet or bleeder screw
• Improves brake pedal feel by restoring proper caliper function
• Supports brake system maintenance without requiring full caliper assembly replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

This caliper requires the use of the included mounting bracket and abutment clips for proper installation. Note that brake pads and mounting hardware bolts are not included and must be sourced separately. The bleeder screw with M10x1.0 thread is included to facilitate brake fluid bleeding during installation. Ensure compatibility with the vehicle’s brake line fittings, as the inlet thread size is M12x1.0 with a banjo fitting type. Proper torque specifications should be followed to avoid damage to the aluminum caliper casting.
