When a caliper on the Volkswagen Beetle seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Beetle keeps the brake pad in continuous contact with the rotor, wearing the pad unevenly and scoring the rotor surface. By the time the caliper on the Volkswagen Beetle is identified as the fault, the pads are typically worn asymmetrically and the rotor is damaged. A caliper kit from GeoBrakes addresses every compromised component on your Volkswagen Beetle together.
The kit for your Volkswagen Beetle includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Beetle, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Volkswagen Beetle piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Beetle caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Volkswagen Beetle, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Beetle, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Volkswagen Beetle application.
A caliper kit is the right call for the Volkswagen Beetle in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Beetle are already compromised. During a high-mileage Beetle overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Volkswagen Beetle are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Beetle brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Volkswagen Beetle.
New OEM-specification calipers for the Volkswagen Beetle are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Beetle vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Volkswagen Beetle housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Beetle replacement applications.
Calipers for the Volkswagen Beetle are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Beetle are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Volkswagen Beetle exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.
Should I replace both calipers on my Volkswagen Beetle at the same time?
It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Volkswagen Beetle has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Beetle. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Beetle caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.
Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Volkswagen Beetle after installing a caliper kit?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Volkswagen Beetle to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Beetle must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Volkswagen Beetle.
What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Volkswagen Beetle kit?
A new caliper for the Volkswagen Beetle has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Beetle housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Volkswagen Beetle applications.
