Fitment: Fits selected models across Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen. Confirm exact fitment before ordering.
Product Description
Restore reliable braking performance with the Arrowhead Brake Caliper Kit Front ATE Half Kit, designed for the front brake caliper assembly of select Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen models. This kit includes essential components such as a multi-lip rubber seal and a circular ring, which are critical for maintaining a secure seal within the caliper, preventing fluid leaks and protecting against dirt and moisture ingress.
Fitment covers various Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen vehicles, but always confirm your model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct compatibility before ordering. These components are specifically intended for models using ATE front brake calipers, commonly found in popular vehicles like the VW Golf, Polo, and Audi A3 from the late 1990s through the 2010s.
Worn or damaged caliper seals can lead to symptoms such as brake fluid leaks, reduced braking efficiency, uneven pad wear, a spongy brake pedal, or contamination inside the caliper. You might also notice increased brake noise, sticking calipers, or visible damage to the existing seals.
Replacing the caliper seal and dust ring is recommended if you observe any of these symptoms or during a brake caliper overhaul. Proper replacement helps maintain hydraulic integrity, ensures consistent braking response, and extends the life of other brake components.
Order your Arrowhead Brake Caliper Kit from MiMi Auto Parts for peace of mind and nationwide delivery throughout South Africa. Our team is ready to assist you in selecting the right part for your vehicle, ensuring your brakes stay safe and dependable.

Installation note

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of worn brake pads or brake components?
Common signs may include squealing or grinding noises when braking, reduced stopping ability, a soft brake pedal, vibration under braking, or the brake warning light on your dashboard. Because brakes are safety-critical, diagnosis and inspection by a qualified mechanic is recommended before replacement.
Can I replace only one side of the brakes?
Brake pads and discs are normally replaced as an axle set (both sides at the same time) to maintain balanced, even braking. Replacing only one side can cause the vehicle to pull when braking. Consult a qualified mechanic for guidance.
