Caddy vs Golf Brakes

[davebond101]

There are a lot of assumptions in this post. The new vw caddy is still basically a golf, the brakes compared to at 2014 t6 are quite gentle in comparison where as the t6 feels more positive. The caddy is back with vw and we have a new golf as a courtesy car, I was expecting a more or less the same driving experience. The brakes are much more positive.

So the caddy with the seats in the back is a little heavier but not a great deal, I believe them to be the same brake components as the golf was not a fancy one. So what is the difference. If I was so inclined can you improve the braking experience on the caddy to be more like a golf?

Same master cylinder and servo?

I have a couple of Caddys a 2014 that’s still running a 1.6tdi with body and interior mods only a 2010 that’s has a golf gti BWA fitted that’s pritty much stock and a 2007 sdi that’s had a lot of modifications including a 2.0 tfsi bwj installed from the cupra Leon full custom paint with altrack body kit and custom hybrid bumpers that’s making a good bit of power with a stage2+ tune and the parts from the golf and Audi a3 are mostly bolt on I’m running the the stock golf brakes but with upgraded discs and pads from Nutexa (I have a big brake set up come from them soon for the 2007 van) have a chat with @Nutexa Frictions (russ) he really knows his stuff and I am sure he will be able to sort something for you or build something to accommodate your needs
