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