MPA Electrical BC182977 Disc Brake Caliper - Rear Right

Remanufactured Rear Right Brake Caliper

MPA Electrical BC182977 is a remanufactured disc brake caliper for the rear right position on select Volkswagen and Audi applications. It is built for vehicles such as the Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen GTI, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Bora, Audi A3, and Audi A3 Quattro with the listed brake configurations.

This rear right caliper is remanufactured at an IATF 16949 facility and inspected through multiple quality checkpoints before assembly. The BC182977 uses an aluminum caliper casting, a steel piston, a floating caliper design, and a coated silver finish for OE-style fit and corrosion resistance.

Detailed Description

MPA Electrical BC182977 is remanufactured with a process that removes heavily pitted or severely corroded cores before rebuilding begins. Aluminum calipers are machined at the inlet face for a tight seal, while threads are cleaned and chased and then verified with a go/no-go inspection. Steel piston components are cleaned, checked for reuse, and inspected again before final assembly. Rubber components are material tested, and the finished caliper receives a corrosion-resistant coated appearance. For rear actuated applications, banjo bolts, crush washers, and friction hardware are replaced with new components during remanufacturing.

Compatible With select 2005-2011 Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen GTI, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Bora, Audi A3, and Audi A3 Quattro rear right applications, including 2011 Volkswagen Golf rear right with 288mm diameter front disc and Lucas rear brakes, 2010 Volkswagen Jetta rear right with 256mm diameter rear disc, and 2008 Audi A3 rear right from chassis # 8P8057779. BC182977 is also listed for 2006-2009 Volkswagen GTI rear right and 2005-2009 Volkswagen Jetta rear right.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores rear brake clamping force on a worn or sticking caliper
• Addresses brake fluid leakage at the caliper inlet or piston area
• Replaces a corroded or seized rear right caliper assembly
• Corrects uneven rear brake wear caused by caliper drag
• Supports brake service on Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, Golf, Bora, and Audi A3 rear right applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor size, rear brake system type, and chassis notes before ordering, since fitment varies by model year and brake package. Inspect the brake hose, pads, and rotor condition during installation, and bleed the hydraulic system after caliper replacement. Confirm the inlet thread and mounting dimensions match the original unit before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical remanufactures this caliper in an IATF 16949 facility using core inspection, machining, cleaning, and final go/no-go checks to verify fit and function. The rebuild process includes new rubber components where required, new phenolic pistons when applicable, and corrosion-resistant finishing on cast iron units to support OE-style performance and appearance.
