Jim Bowen 1 Posted September 2, 2008 i bought a set of standard corrado calipers to refurb, so i have two sets, one on car one in garage. halfway through refurbing them and i'm thinking by the time i buy new seals, nipples, rubber boots etc and then worry about slider pins being old ones, i could just get new ones from VW anyone done this before? what is included with a caliper, do i need to give them back the whole lot? carrier? pins? etc or just the caliper part?

Supercharged 2 Posted September 2, 2008 Just the caliper itself so your only getting the piston seal really with the exchange but they are so cheap i wouldn't bother refurbing, the exchange calipers are new and you can paint them to make them look new for longer... I bought a pair for £55 exchange but this was a few years ago with a hefty discount, I think they are £35 each retail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted September 2, 2008 whatabout things like the slider pins, will i have to buy the carrier to get them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted September 2, 2008 yeah, slider pins aren't available by themselves. you should be able to use a set from some 256s easily enough though, pretty sure they're the same and probably a little easier to find than 280s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted September 5, 2008 went to VW yesterday, the calipers (rear) are £69 each and thats exchanging the old ones. It doesn't include the slider pins, they are only availiable with the carriers and are £50 each got some prices for individual parts for the rear calipers, as i'm now thinking i should carry on refurbing the old ones. 357 615 273 = Bleeder valve = £3.53 each caliper + vat 8D0 698 671 = Set of seals for caliper = £13.05 each caliper + vat 8E0 698 470 B = Protective sleeves for guide pins = £8.43 each caliper + vat i work that out as £59 to do the rear calipers, i have two sets of rear brakes so hopefully i can reuse some slider pins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
