Scirocco Register

Hi all. Going a bit mad with fitting new calipers to my MK2 Scala. Is this amount of wobble correct before fitting the anti rattle clips?

Video I've just recorded showing 'The Wobbler':

These are JP Group replacements, but when I fit the old ones even without the clips there isn't this much free play.

This is the caliper I bought:

I've either bought the wrong part, or doing something very stupid in the fitting process! Any advice hugely appreciated.

From memory the bolts go through rubber grommets that are pressed into the caliper. I would imagine the replacement calipers have weaker rubbers than the original allowing your excess movement.

It looks like the pads are not bedded, have you been able to pimp the pedal so the piston puches against the pads?

I've had another look and it looks like the caliper is actually a different shape to the VW originals, so it doesn't rest on the carrier properly. Not ideal!

I’d have gone with cleaned up 2nd hand originals, are your old callipers completely shot? Can they be rescued?
I wonder if anyone else has fitted JP callipers?

I ended up returning them. No idea why the shape was different, but was a bit of a headscratcher that's for sure.

Probably for the best, stick with originals, try looking at golf parts too, check with anyone else who’s found other vw models that interchange. Part number maybe different, but fitment could be the same. I found this with seat belts, I used a mk2 polo passenger belt from a two door to replace my Rocco chaffed belt.

double check part numbers but it sounds like youve been sent incorrect calipers for your car
i bought a pair of pagid calipers off ebay newly remanufactured and work fine
