This guide is for Audi A4, Audi A6, Seat Exeo ST, Skoda Superb I, and VW Passat owners needing to replace a rear left brake caliper.

The most critical step is to compare the OEM number of your original rear left brake caliper with the specifications provided for the maXpeedingrods FK96ZE. Also, check the specific vehicle models and years listed in the product description and ensure your vehicle is not a 'Quattro' or excluded variant.
Typically, replacement calipers are sold without mounting hardware or brake pads. It is recommended to inspect your existing hardware and purchase new brake pads if needed separately.
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) calipers are made by or for the vehicle manufacturer. This maXpeedingrods caliper is an aftermarket part designed to be a functional replacement, often at a lower price point.
While not always strictly required, it is often recommended to replace brake calipers in pairs (left and right) to ensure even braking performance and wear on both sides of the vehicle.
The lifespan of a brake caliper can vary greatly depending on driving conditions, maintenance, and the quality of the component. However, they are generally designed to last for many years or tens of thousands of miles under normal use.
Installation requires mechanical knowledge and proper tools, including a torque wrench and potentially a brake bleeding kit. If you are not comfortable with brake system repairs, it is best to have a professional mechanic perform the installation.
The brake system likely needs to be bled properly to remove any air trapped during installation. Ensure all connections are tight and re-bleed the system.
Ensure the caliper is correctly seated and all mounting bolts are torqued to spec. Check that brake pads and shims are installed correctly. Bed in the new brake pads according to manufacturer recommendations.
Check the banjo bolt connection and the sealing washers. Ensure the brake line is properly seated and tighten the connection. If the leak persists, the caliper may be faulty.
This could indicate an issue with the caliper or brake system on the opposite side. Double-check the installation of both the left and right rear calipers and associated components.
Compatibility Check:
Before purchasing, it is crucial to verify the OEM number of your original rear left brake caliper. This maXpeedingrods FK96ZE caliper is compatible with specific Audi A4 (8D2, B5), Audi A6 (4B, C5), Seat Exeo ST (3R5), Skoda Superb I (3U4), and VW Passat (3B2, 3B3, 3B5, 3B6) models.
Important Exclusions: This part is not for Quattro models, A6/S6 variants, or A4 2WD models where the caliper design differs.
Installation:
Care:
Regularly inspect brake components for signs of wear, leaks, or damage. Ensure the brake fluid is maintained at the correct level and changed according to your vehicle manufacturer's service schedule. Clean the caliper area during routine brake maintenance to prevent rust and corrosion buildup.
