Detailed Product Description

The Pagid 355789172 disc brake caliper is a standard replacement part designed to restore braking efficiency on compatible vehicles. Its cast iron caliper casting material offers robust structural integrity, while the steel piston ensures reliable pressure application to the brake pads. The floating caliper type allows for self-alignment during braking, improving pad wear and overall performance. The included bleeder screw with precise thread specifications (M10 - 1.0) facilitates proper brake fluid bleeding, essential for maintaining brake responsiveness. Additionally, the anti-rattle spring and caliper slides help minimize noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter and smoother braking experience. The caliper’s powder-coated gray finish provides resistance against corrosion, extending the service life of the component. This caliper is compatible with a range of Audi and Volkswagen models, including the A3, A3 Quattro, Beetle, CC, Eos, Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat, TT, and TT Quattro.
