OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi Rear Brake Caliper Bolt Set
5K0-698-141 is the genuine fixing set for the assigned rear disc brake caliper guide-pin locking positions. The set contains four M8 × 30 bolts for the matched caliper design. Confirm the rear brake equipment code, installed caliper and factory part assignment before ordering.
The archive photograph shows one representative bolt; each purchased set supplies four bolts. Calipers, carriers, guide pins, dust boots, brake pads and discs are separate. These bolts serve the assigned guide-pin locking attachment and are not the larger fasteners that attach the caliper carrier to the hub or axle.
Technical details
- OEM set number: 5K0-698-141 / 5K0698141.
- Set contents: Four rear caliper fixing bolts.
- Factory catalog bolt designation: M8 × 30.
- Application: Original rear disc brake caliper guide-pin locking positions assigned this fixing set.
- Quantity: One four-bolt set per purchased unit.
- Application control: Rear brake PR code, caliper design, VIN assignment and exact fastening position.
The rear brake design determines the correct hardware. The same model can be equipped with different calipers, carriers or rear drum brakes. A similar-looking bolt can differ in length, thread engagement or seating geometry. Match the original set assignment rather than choosing bolts solely from the model year or nominal thread size.
Common reasons to replace
New fixing bolts may be needed during rear brake pad or caliper service when the factory repair procedure calls for renewed hardware. Replace bolts that have damaged threads, rounded heads, corrosion, distortion or evidence of an incorrect prior repair. Missing or unsuitable hardware requires correction before the brake assembly is returned to service.
Inspect the guide pins, their receiving threads and the caliper’s movement at the same time. A damaged guide pin or seized sliding arrangement requires its own repair. A fresh bolt set cannot correct a torn boot, contaminated friction surface, hydraulic leak or worn brake component.
Fitment
The table identifies confirmed model families with the required rear disc brake arrangement. Fitment is conditional on the installed caliper and factory fixing-set assignment. Vehicles with rear drums or another caliper design need different hardware.

Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory procedure for the exact rear brake system. Support the vehicle securely and support the caliper without loading the brake hose. Inspect the guide-pin assembly and threaded connections before installing the required replacement bolts.
Use the specified bolts at the correct guide-pin locking positions and follow the factory tightening procedure. Do not substitute a universal torque value or confuse these bolts with the caliper carrier fasteners. Follow the repair instructions for thread preparation and any original locking treatment; do not add extra materials unless the procedure calls for them.
Complete the required brake checks after assembly, including caliper movement, correct hose routing and the checks for any disturbed components. Confirm brake operation according to the repair procedure before driving. This set supplies fastening hardware only and does not rebuild the caliper or repair the hydraulic or parking brake mechanisms.
