CSR REAR BRAKE CALIPER

[duffield]

I want to strip the rear calipers down on my CSR for cleaning. Has anybody got any information on the piston and hand brake mechanism inside the cylinder. If so it would be greatly appreciated if you could forward it to me.

 

Thanks Andrew.

These are VW (VAG) calipers off the VW Passat 2004. I have one.

Looks like he has them on his Passat. I understood they are commonly fitted to the golf and A3 as well.

[RD]

Yes, fitted to the 2004 VW Passat rears and also the mk4 VW Golf rears (we have both).

Bit of a minefield this one, as the calipers on VWs changed alot over the years and even if you have the correct part number you still also need to specify the correct year.

 

The part number needed is 1J0615423 and they are for a mark 4 Golf up to year2000. Dont order 8E0615423 as although the number is very similar, and its for a Passat, its not the caliper you need!

 

I got mine from PW autoparts on ebay – Pete, Frank, and Mike are all very helpful and patient! 01384 565300. NB you have to order the opposite side to what you want as they are installed opposite way round on Caterhams v VW golf.

 

NB at least that's what is needed for my 2008 CSR260. Dont know if the part used by CC on CSRs varied at all over the years.

Do you think CC will stop VAG from selling these.........to 7 owners.....LOL, They may have a go.....

Hello,

 

Has anyone fitted the VAG brake calipers with the Caterham 6 x 13 inch anthracite eight spoke wheels?

 

Thanks,
