VW Disc Brake Caliper Guide Pin Front - Genuine VW Audi N90424201

Product Information

A disc brake caliper is a crucial part of a car's braking system that clamps brake pads onto a rotating disc (rotor) to slow down the wheel when the brakes are applied; signs of a failing caliper include: the car pulling to one side when braking, uneven brake pad wear, leaking brake fluid, unusual noises during braking, and a spongy brake pedal feeling

• Pulling to one side: If one caliper is malfunctioning, it can cause the car to pull to one side when braking.
• Uneven brake pad wear: A faulty caliper can lead to uneven wear on the brake pads.

About Genuine VW Audi

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
