They seem hard to find in stock but have a look on eBay. I’ve previously bought some from there. For black ones part number is VW 5G0698221A and VW 5G0698221C for silver ones. Or here https://www.deutsche-parts.co.uk/repair-kit-5g0698221a-new-genuine-part.html currently out of stock though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RareBit 14 Posted May 8 Author Report Share Posted May 8 I had a feeling they had been discontinued, but will keep an eye out. Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stobsie 4,177 Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Only ones I could find when I was looking for a friend the other month were for a seat cupra you could get one of those paint it black and stick the R logo on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bertie1249 167 Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I don’t think you can buy them unless you buy the whole caliper. I’ve been searching everywhere for a pair of silver ones, but can’t find any. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RareBit 14 Posted May 8 Author Report Share Posted May 8 Just on a side note..mintex pads are crap! I was swapping the pads as the ones fitted had delaminated, the friction material was sitting about 1mm off the back plate on 1 side of the pad on all 4 of them..

TonksyR 59 Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I don’t think you can buy them unless you buy the whole caliper. I’ve been searching everywhere for a pair of silver ones, but can’t find any.Correct. You need to buy the whole calliper in order to get new brake plates Had this confirmed by VW, and a VW specialist.Luckily, a kind member or two from here had a spare set laying around so I was able to get some second hand.Not very helpful of VW though. I did consider looking to see if the S3 equivalent would fit, but didn’t get around to it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk bertie1249 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RareBit 14 Posted May 8 Author Report Share Posted May 8 Seems a bit daft to no longer supply the part. I only removed mine so I could push the piston back properly with a g-clamp but did the other side by just pushing 1 side of the piston..might be time to invest in a better tool!

momo123 9 Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Hi mate, You can buy them without the caliper as I bought some last week. I have the performance pack on my 7.5 so mine came with the silver version. The part number is 5G0 698 221C. They cost £39.44 each. bertie1249 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
