brake caliper???

[green536@hotmail.com (Chris DeLong)]

The first caliper you got was for an A2. The calipers you have on your car 
are from a Scirocco 16v. 8v's never had rear calipers. Apparantly your parts 
guy is an idiot. Maybe you could get someone else to look it up. Are you 
getting this from the stealership?
