About Brake Caliper

On vehicles with rear disc brakes, the rear Brake Caliper is a unit which straddles the brake disc. This unit houses the brake pads, the piston that pushes the two pads onto the disc and on vehicles which use the pads for handbraking, the cable and pushrod mechanism for the handbrake. On some vehicles with rear disc brakes the handbrake has a separate drum, in the centre of the disc, with brake shoes.

The Leon SEAT Brake Caliper Driverside Rear is positioned behind the wheel and straddles the brake disc,

When the foot brake is pressed the hydraulic system forces the fluid into the cylinder in the caliper which pushes the piston, which in turn pushes the brake pads onto the brake disc.Vehicles using the pads for the handbrake have a cable attached to the caliper which operates a pushrod inside the piston.

As the Leon SEAT Brake Caliper Driverside Rear houses the cylinder for the piston that pushes the pad onto the brake disc it may be that the cylinder has been damaged causing leakage of hydraulic brake fluid or the seizing of the piston.

SEAT Leon trivia

  • The SEAT Leon Streetcopa was released at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. This limited-edition car was limited to only 200 units and was designed specifically for the Swiss market. However, a limited-edition facelifted version was eventually released under the name Leon World Champion Edition.
  • Since its launch, there have been three generations and 2 million units sold of the SEAT Leon.
  • Although production of the first-generation SEAT Leon was stopped in 2006, it was still incredibly popular. Autocar had a poll in 2010, and the SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk1 was voted the Best Hot Hatchback of All Time by readers.
  • The third generation SEAT Leon is shorter than its predecessors by 5cm and is an incredible 90kg lighter. It’s still bigger on the inside than the 1st and 2nd generation SEAT Leons, thanks to an extended wheelbase.
