Joniboy 0 Posted April 21, 2007 Hey guys. Sorry if this has been covered before, I did do a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. I need a new front caliper for my VR6 but it seems GSF only sell ones for the 16V (part number: 65660). Are the calipers the same or do I need VR specific ones? Thanks for your help :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taggart 0 Posted April 21, 2007 No, won't be the same. You'll probably be best off trying to get a secondhand one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 21, 2007 GSF do sell the VR ones but they are about the same price straight from VW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 21, 2007 would have thought there'd be loads of unwanted OE sets knocking about on here? try posting in the Wanted section? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bustwell 0 Posted April 22, 2007 Yeah I picked up a set on here with carriers for £35 so they are out there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craziscot 0 Posted April 22, 2007 There are quite a few sets of 312s on VR6OC for some very reasonable prices just now, if thats any help... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joniboy 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Thanks for your help guys - I would have just bought those ones from GSF so you have saved me a lot of frustration, time and money :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Get a refurbed caliper from VW. They're only about £30-40 a side and they're very often brand new stock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roger Blassberg 0 Posted April 23, 2007 I have a pair of 280mm calipers and carriers complete with hoses. You can collect from St Albans for £25 if you want them. Best wishes RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

havit 0 Posted April 28, 2007 I assume the callipers and carriers have found a new home by now, if not will gladly take them off your hands Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Blassberg 0 Posted April 30, 2007 Jon picked up the calipers yesterday, so no longer available. Best wishes RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joniboy 0 Posted April 30, 2007 Yes, I did indeed :) It was good to meet you Roger and thanks for providing me with some very tidy calipers. They cleaned up a treat and will be going on the car ASAP. I can't wait to get behind the wheel of my Corrado again. Thanks again Roger and eveyone else who has posted. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
