The Audi 80 was a compact executive vehicle marketed by Audi from the Volkswagen Group from 1966 to 1996. During the development of 80, many popular parts like the brake caliper have been built. The brake caliper converts the hydraulic pressure into mechanical force which is vital to make the brake pads come into contact with the disc brake. The use of the fixed parts can be more complex and pricy than the floating brake caliper while the latter can lead to more problems like the vehicle's lower fuel efficiency, overheating, and rapid wear.
Whereas, the worn 80 brake caliper parts need to be repaired or replaced for better 80 performance. The brake caliper parts should be serviced/replaced between 75,000 to 100,000 miles. Here are the steps to replace the brake caliper. Firstly remove the wheel to the designated side you are working on. Next, disconnect the brake hose and make sure to plug it off to avoid further brake fluid loss. Then remove the caliper guide pins on the caliper bracket and the caliper unit. The installation of the brake caliper is the reverse of the removal. It is easy to buy needed 80 parts at nearly wholesale prices online.
