Title: brake caliper Passenger side GTI Pirelli
Post by: jeru31 on March 07, 2023, 09:41:00 am

Hi Guys, the passenger side front brake caliper piston is stuck out and manually i cant get it pushed back in, can anyone guide me where to buy a new one, second hand one or a garage that might be able to push it back it so i can put on new brake pads, Golf GT Pirelli? thanks in advance

Probably too late - but it sounds like you need to rebuild the caliper
Not aware of Pirelli having different calipers from regular ED30/GTI, just get new piston & seals brakes international or Bigg Red are good suppliers
