Are these mk4 golf rear calipers??

[Johnny H 0]

Hi guys.

 

I've brought these of someone I know who said they where mk4 golf rears.

So when the car was the garage I asked if they could fit them but they said said they wasn't the right ones.

 

Could someone have a look and tell me if they are or not please.

 

Thanks Johnny

Then why couldn't they fit them with the new lines I brought.

They said the lines were to short to fit these callipers?

They probably looked at the lines attached and the lines you supplied and as they are different length said that.

 

But the way the fit. Is different, as you have a short flexi, then a bracket that holds a rigid metal pioe

You need mk4 conversion lines to fit them. They need a banjo bolt fitment. Google mk4 brake conversion.

Hope that helps.

Also they won't fit with the Mk4 carriers which the calipers are attached to in the picture as they are a different pitch. you need to use the corrado carriers. make sure the calipers have a 38mm piston. not 32mm (polo) or 41mm which is golf estate

Hi mate.

I've got the right lines with the banjo bolts to do the conversion.

No I'm sure they fit the right way up

Hose and bleed at top

Cable at bottom

 

Have a look in volksdevil build thread he has the same lines and shows them all fitted up

To be sure, whats the part number on them

[Dox 22]

MK4s don't have the external helper springs.

 

These were removed from my own mk4 and sold to Fla

If they are MK4 (and I doubt it) you need to fit them with the original corrado carriers as the mk4 carriers have different hole spacing where it bolts to the axle

Just had a look at the collection I have in the garage and they look like b5 passat rears
