Passat B7 Front Brake Caliper (312mm Brake Discs) - Left (ATE)

This front brake caliper – left-hand side is a direct replacement for selected Volkswagen models fitted with 312mm vented front brake discs and ATE braking systems. Designed to OE specifications, this caliper restores strong, consistent braking performance and even pad wear across the front axle.

RHD clarification: On right-hand-drive vehicles, Left = Passenger Side.


What this brake caliper does

The front brake caliper is responsible for generating the majority of the vehicle’s stopping power. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure forces the 57mm single piston to clamp the brake pads onto the disc faces. The friction produced converts vehicle speed into heat, slowing the car safely and in a controlled manner.

This caliper is designed for vented brake discs, allowing efficient heat dissipation under repeated or heavy braking. Correct caliper operation is essential for stable braking, consistent pedal feel, and reliable ABS and traction control performance.


Construction & specifications

  • Fitting position: Front axle left (passenger side on RHD vehicles)

  • Brake disc type: Vented

  • Compatible disc size: 312mm diameter × 25mm thickness

  • Manufacturer restriction: ATE

  • Caliper design: Floating caliper

  • Piston diameter: 57mm

  • Piston count: Single piston

Manufactured to OE-style tolerances to ensure smooth piston travel, accurate pad alignment, and long service life.


Fitment & compatibility

Suitable for the following vehicles fitted with 312mm vented front discs and ATE brake systems:

  • Volkswagen Passat – 2.5 petrol

    • 08/2010 – 06/2013

  • Volkswagen Sharan – 1.4, 2.0 petrol and 2.0 diesel

    • 05/2010 – 11/2022

  • Volkswagen Tiguan – 1.4, 2.0 petrol and 2.0 diesel

    • 09/2007 – 07/2018

Always confirm disc size (312mm), ATE brake system, and front axle fitment before ordering, as some models were also equipped with different front brake specifications.


Recommended additional parts

For a complete and reliable front brake service, we recommend fitting:

  • Front brake pads compatible with ATE calipers

  • Brake pad fitting kit / slider hardware

  • Front brake discs (312mm vented)

For best braking balance and pedal feel, front brake calipers should ideally be replaced in axle pairs.
