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