As title really..

Both rear callipers seem to stick, handbrake seems to go all the way up to the roof.. Hit the calliper with a lump hammer and it's goes back to normal..

Anyone know a place to pick then up pretty cheapish? I've read horror stories of Audi charging £300 per calliper :(

Thanks!
 
Yep what andrew said, I plaid EPC and GSF against each other and paid £85 per calliper

Cheers guys! At that price it isn't worth getting them 2nd hand. It's probably worth doing the brake lines as well whilst I'm changing them.. Thanks again!
 
Just had both done on the wife's Passat same problem as you we paid £248 for both fitted inc vat, wasn't worth me getting my tools out at that price
 
Oemautospares provided my 312mm calipers and carriers and I asked about 256mm rear calipers.

I was quoted 160 posted for 2 reconditioned and painted in red or black 256mm calipers and carriers.
I think its like 110 and a partial refund on receipt of the calipers as you wont need carriers.
 
Mk4 golf and Leon cupra r rear calipers fit aswell, I bought a re-conditioned set off eBay painted red with a 2 year warranty for 75 quid each
