Volkswagen Eos Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Volkswagen Eos is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Eos disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Volkswagen Eos, brake fluid pressure forces the caliper pistons outward, squeezing the brake pads against the rotor and generating the friction that stops your vehicle. A seized, leaking, or sticking caliper on the Eos interferes with that process at the source, causing uneven braking, accelerated pad and rotor wear, and pulling to one side that worsens over time.

Signs of a Failing Disc Brake Caliper on the Volkswagen Eos

• Volkswagen Eos pulls strongly to one side during braking, a seized caliper on one side applies more force
• Brake pedal on your Eos feels soft or spongy and improves after pumping, caliper piston seal leaking
• One brake pad on your Volkswagen Eos axle wears significantly faster than its partner
• Brake drag on the Volkswagen Eos, vehicle feels like it is fighting resistance at normal road speed
• Visible brake fluid leaking from the Eos caliper body or around the piston boot
• Grinding or scraping from one Volkswagen Eos wheel that persists after confirming pads are not worn

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Volkswagen Eos

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Volkswagen Eos

New OEM-specification calipers for the Volkswagen Eos are brand-new units manufactured to the exact piston dimensions, seal specifications, and material tolerances of the original Eos factory part. They offer the longest service life on your Volkswagen Eos and are the strongest choice for higher-mileage Eos vehicles or those operated in high-corrosion environments.

Remanufactured Calipers for the Volkswagen Eos

Remanufactured calipers for the Volkswagen Eos are original caliper housings completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt with new pistons, seals, boots, and hardware. Quality remanufactured units perform identically to new calipers for most Volkswagen Eos replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Volkswagen Eos Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Volkswagen Eos in pairs?

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Volkswagen Eos, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one Eos caliper has failed, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same service conditions and is likely at a similar stage of wear.

How long do disc brake calipers last on a Volkswagen Eos in US?

Volkswagen Eos calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but American road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of Eos caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Volkswagen Eos well before that figure.

Can a sticking caliper on my Volkswagen Eos damage my brake pads and rotors?

Yes. A Eos caliper that does not fully retract keeps the brake pad in partial contact with the rotor between stops, generating constant friction and heat on your Volkswagen Eos. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your Eos and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
