indie Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Hello gang. Does anybody know what brake callipers are compatible with the GTI? (I want to keep it standard) My near side front caliper seized up and is causing me a heap of trouble. Parts seem to be hard to get from breakers. While I'm happy to buy new, they're not exactly cheap! So my question is are they the same as any of the Polo 6N2 brakes? I have some spare disc's and pads already, so I'd like to use them, rather than get into doing a brake conversion. Cheers Edited November 1, 2016 by indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I may have a spare caliper soon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indie Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the reply, I need to get the car back on the road sooner rather than later though... Any idea of any of the polo carriers and callipers fit? I've seen TRW brakes do OE replacements, but they are not always available in a reasonable time frame.

lupogtiboy Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Yes, Polo GTI and Lupo GTI calipers are the same N/S/F - 6N0 615 123 E - £149.89 inc vat from VW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indie Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks for this. In the end I managed to get some new ones on an exchange basis from brakeparts.co.uk New discs, pads, callipers and hoses - I hope no more issues with brakes binding. The wheel bearings both run smooth, so hopefully this is now sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaparana Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Massive thread revival I know, but does anyone know if they are same as the mkIV golf rear? A popular upgrade for some vw is the mkiv rear caliper as they are aluminum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
