Description

Volkswagen Caddy 2K V-Maxx Big Brake Kit 365 mm 6-piston

With the big brake kit Caddy 2K 365 mm, you choose the largest brake kit V-Maxx supplies for the Volkswagen Caddy III and IV (2K): 365 mm two-piece brake discs, clamped by 6-piston calipers made of forged aluminium.

The kit is made for the Caddy with a steel steering knuckle and Ø55 mm shock absorber clamp, from 48 to 125 kW, and requires wheels of at least 19 inch. In return for that wheel size, you get the highest braking torque in the V-Maxx range for the Caddy 2K.

Because the caliper, bracket and bell are made of aluminium and the discs have directional cooling channels, the kit sheds its heat quickly and the braking performance stays consistent under repeated hard braking. V-Maxx Autosport from the Netherlands supplies the kit ready to fit, with sport brake pads with TÜV approval, adapters for the original brake hoses, a TÜV certificate according to §19.3 for use on public roads and a 2-year warranty.

• Most braking torque of the three V-Maxx kits for this Caddy
• Consistent braking performance, even when loaded, thanks to fast heat dissipation
• Two-piece discs made of grooved high-carbon steel with directional cooling channels
• Ultra-light floating bells made of aluminium
• TÜV §19.3, with V-Maxx sport brake pads with TÜV approval in the kit
• 2-year warranty from the Dutch manufacturer

Suitable for

Volkswagen Caddy III / IV (2K), model years 2004 to 2020

• Only with original rear brake discs of at least Ø271 mm
• Only for a steel steering knuckle with Ø55 mm shock absorber clamp

Minimum wheel size: 19 inch. Check the space between wheel and caliper in advance with the fitment template (WFC, Wheel Fitment Chart); a wheel spacer sometimes solves a tight fit.

Fitting and delivery

A Caddy on 19 inch wheels with 365 mm V-Maxx discs: you will not get more braking torque for this car from the V-Maxx range.

Why choose this big brake kit Caddy 2K 365 mm?

The big brake kit Caddy 2K 365 mm is intended for anyone who wants to get the maximum out of the brakes of the Caddy III or IV and already drives on 19 inch wheels. The largest disc gives the most braking torque, the six pistons per caliper provide more braking power and the aluminium construction keeps the temperature under control. As a result, the braking performance stays consistent even when loaded, backed by TÜV approval and a 2-year warranty.

Frequently asked questions

Is the big brake kit Caddy 2K 365 mm suitable for a car with more power than standard?

Yes, definitely. A Caddy with more power than standard benefits most from this kit: 365 mm discs and 6-piston calipers give more braking power and much less fade. The kW limits in the application list refer to the original factory output, and with an officially approved power upgrade the TÜV approval remains valid.

Which version should I choose for my Caddy 2K?

On 19 inch or larger, the big brake kit Caddy 2K 365 mm is the strongest choice; on 18 inch, the 355 mm kit (20 VW355 17) is an option. Both require a steel steering knuckle with Ø55 mm clamp. If your Caddy has Ø50 mm front shock absorbers or you drive on 17 inch wheels, look at the 330 mm kit with 4-piston calipers (20 VW330 07).

My brakes click when I turn around. Is something wrong?

No. That click is a deliberate choice by V-Maxx: the pads sit in the caliper with 1 to 1.5 mm of play, so they do not seize when hot. When you change direction of travel, they shift by that distance.

Why are the caliper, bracket and bell made of aluminium?

Aluminium conducts heat about 5 times better than steel. As a result, the kit cools down quickly after hard braking, and the braking performance stays consistent under repeated hard braking.

What is the delivery time for the Caddy 2K 365 mm kit?

The delivery time is 4 to 7 days.
