Technical Details and Construction

This Pagid disc brake caliper (part number 355798682) is a floating type caliper, which allows for self-alignment during braking to ensure even pad wear and consistent contact with the brake rotor. The caliper body is made from cast iron, providing the necessary rigidity and heat resistance required for braking applications. The single piston is crafted from steel and measures 57mm in diameter, delivering reliable hydraulic pressure to the brake pads.

The caliper is finished with a powder-coated gray surface that helps protect against rust and environmental damage. Included components such as the bleeder screw (M10 - 1.0 thread size) and anti-rattle spring contribute to ease of maintenance and reduced brake noise. Caliper slides are also included to facilitate smooth movement and proper function.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Audi Passat and Volkswagen Q3, Q3 Quattro, Tiguan, and Tiguan Limited models
• Addresses issues with uneven brake pad wear due to caliper sticking or malfunction
• Resolves brake noise caused by loose or missing anti-rattle components
• Improves hydraulic brake performance by restoring proper piston function
• Helps prevent brake fluid leaks by maintaining a secure bleeder screw seal

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Pagid 355798682 disc brake caliper, ensure the brake system is properly bled using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain hydraulic pressure. Verify that the mounting bracket and caliper slides are correctly positioned to allow smooth caliper movement. Although mounting hardware is included, mounting bolts are not; confirm you have the correct bolts for your specific vehicle application. Always inspect brake pads and rotors for wear and replace if necessary during caliper installation.
