G7 Rear Brake Caliper (272mm Brake Discs) - Right (ATE)

This rear brake caliper – right-hand side is a direct replacement for MQB-platform Volkswagen models equipped with an electric parking brake (EPB) and 272mm solid rear brake discs. Manufactured to suit ATE braking systems, it restores correct braking performance, even pad wear, and reliable EPB operation.

RHD clarification: On right-hand-drive vehicles, Right = Drivers Side.


What this brake caliper does

The rear brake caliper converts hydraulic pressure into clamping force via a 38mm single piston, pressing the brake pads against the rear disc to slow the vehicle and maintain braking balance. While the front brakes do most of the stopping, the rear calipers are essential for stability, ABS/ESC function, and consistent pedal feel.

On EPB-equipped vehicles, the caliper also interfaces with the electric parking brake motor to electronically apply and release the handbrake. A worn or seized caliper can cause dragging brakes, uneven pad wear, overheating, or EPB fault warnings—making correct replacement essential.

Recommended additional parts

For a complete and reliable repair, we recommend:

  • Rear brake pads compatible with ATE calipers

  • Brake pad fitting kit / slider hardware

  • Rear brake discs (272mm solid)

  • EPB service mode / diagnostic reset during installation

For best braking balance and EPB reliability, rear calipers are ideally replaced in axle pairs.
