Gti Rear Caliper

[davy26]

My Gti is 2005 MY, ex-Japan.  The offside rear caliper handbrake lever is apparently not returning, leading to continual wear to the outer brake pad. My local garage has been told a new caliper is not available. They are working on part number, 6N0615424A.  I have looked at suppliers on-line, but am a bit confused - if anyone here can help with these points, I'd be very grateful:

• I believe handedness is indicated by the last two digits - 24 = right, 23 = left?
• My garage has said they've also be quoted 6N0615424B - I'm unable to see what the final character - A or B - indicates
• As the OE spec was a red painted caliper, is there a part number which is specific for a red-finished item?
• I have used Autodoc.co.uk recently for a part (window regulator), but wonder if anyone here has a recommendation for a really good aftermarket supplier to the UK?

Many thanks.

Regards.

I needed a near side rear for last MOT part number on bill says BFTBCA1645E I don’t think this is right? If you search Lupo gti rear break calliper on eBay there’s a few new to choose from.

Thanks Andrew - I meanwhile found what I need with one of the German on-line aftermarket suppliers and resolved my uncertainties about the part numbers involved.  Happy Christmas and kind regards, David

Further too this. There is two part numbers for the rear caliper. One is painted red and the other is not.

The unpainted one is no different to the painted one. The unpainted ones went on the sport.
