Fits Volkswagen GOLF 7 2.0 TDI (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (2013-2020)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Volkswagen GOLF 7 2.0 TDI (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (2013-2020) — 330 mm
330 mm

The Mk7 Golf’s 2.0 TDI carries an iron-block diesel over its front axle, and that mass loads the front brakes harder than the lighter petrol cars ever ask of theirs. Long motorway descents, fully-laden runs and repeated high-speed stops are where a standard front setup starts to soften, and that is exactly the duty cycle this XYZ Racing front brake kit is built to absorb.

This is a front-axle big brake upgrade for the 2013-2020 Golf 7 2.0 TDI, supplied as a matched front pair and sized to add thermal headroom and pedal consistency without turning a comfortable daily diesel into something nervous. Two-piece floating discs keep unsprung and rotating mass in check while giving the front end more material to soak up heat.

What this big brake kit does for your 2013-2020 Volkswagen GOLF 7 2.0 TDI

The first thing you feel is a firmer, more predictable pedal that does not lengthen as the discs heat up. More rotor mass means the front brakes resist fade on back-to-back stops, so the Golf settles and stays settled under hard use. Pad compound is your call: the Street set keeps things quiet and clean for daily diesel miles, the Sport compound sharpens initial bite for spirited road driving, and the Racing compound holds its friction level when you are leaning on the brakes from three-figure speeds. Because the heavy TDI nose transfers more weight forward under braking, that extra front capacity translates directly into shorter, more repeatable stops.

About the Front Brake Kit

The kit pairs an enlarged front disc with a fixed caliper to replace the OE two-piece front hardware. The two-piece floating disc construction is aimed at managing heat and keeping rotating mass down, which matters on a torque-heavy diesel that spends real time at motorway speeds, and the calipers are hollow-bodied as standard. You choose from three pad compounds – Street, Sport and Racing – to match how the car is actually used, rather than accepting one factory friction level for every situation. Caliper finish is configurable in the no-cost Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, a custom Pantone colour, the polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, or the candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange options, so the upgrade reads as deliberate behind the wheels rather than an afterthought. Discs are drilled or slotted at the same price. It is a front-only kit, focused where the Golf 7 TDI puts the most braking demand.

Fitment for the Volkswagen GOLF 7 2.0 TDI (2013-2020)

This kit fits the Volkswagen Golf 7 2.0 TDI across the 2013 to 2020 production span, but only on cars that left the factory with the two-piece OE front caliper. VW used more than one front brake specification across Mk7 trims and power outputs, so confirm your existing caliper type before ordering – this kit is matched specifically to the two-piece variant.

Choosing your spec

Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.

Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing

Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.

Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.

Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing

Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.

Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish

Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).

Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.

Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).

Centre bells

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
