GTi rear brake calipers


Recommended Posts

Hello, just had my GTi through the MOT and the rear brake caliper is seized. Does anyone know how they function. Do they turnout or just thrush straight out when operating.

Thanks

The piston moves in and out under hydraulic pressure and the centre of the piston, moves out on a screw thread to give the handbrake action. Depending on which is siezed you man need a new caliper
