Advice please re g60 calipers

[inky 0]

Hi any tell me if you can fit Passat calipers onto a 91 g60? And if yes what era of Passat?

Calipers seem to be like rocking horse poo around here and am desperate for a new front one

And anyone got any idea how much they cost new fronm the stealers??

Thanks in advance

VR6 passat is the one you'd need, you should be able to get re-con ones from GSF etc???

just make sure they're not the late 288mm ones the calipers are totally different on those, ATE I think.

Just get new exchage calipers from VW / GSF - makes a hell of a difference if the old ones are knackered - they are aout £33 each

the only problem i have with that is when my old mechanic did my goodridge brakelines months ago....(he is now no longer my mechanic as has disappeared*)....he broke the nipple....so instead of contacting me and asking me what I wanted to do..he ripped off the caliper and then replaced it with a golf one!!!!....it works but obviously cannot do exchange for raddo calipers and for some reason I did not get the old caliper so exchange is out of the question....any idea how much without exchange...

 

*He was a really good vw mech but the last few weeks I dealt with him there were a lot of issues and he just vanished and everything was closed up so left me in the sh*t so to say

And now am due for mot and getting worried about it failing on this aleady know i need a new cv boot!!

Thought i would get some new calipers at that price, I phoned VW this morning and they want £149.00 for a pair of front G60 calipers ?....£40 Back with exchange so £109.00 total.

I actually managed to get a pair from my local Audi for £55 exchange but that was stupidly cheap as one was old stock... VW have just put prices up by about 10% accross the board but you should be able to get them for under £40 with CCGB discount but it depends on the dealer - if not try GSF, should be cheaper than that again with CCGB discount!
