Hilfe , brake caliper kaputt , stucked in Freudenberg nr Koln - felga - 12.04.2009
Halo.
I was going to visit family and last night on A4 heading to waldhotel in freudenberg My front right brake caliper broke off. The fron wheel got bloked and the car spun to the right. Luckly for me i was driving only at 90km/h and i`m still alive. I`m from UK and now don`t have any tools to take the wheel off and fix the car. Is here anyone who lives near and maybe have a spare caliper , socket keys and carjack .

You should contact " molle " in this forum. He´s not far away from your location where you are stranded. He´s the most recomended shop for corvette repair. I´m sure the has all the spare parts on stock and he´ll can do all the labour like beeding the system which is needed when replace the caliper. Good luck

Hi Andreas,
sorry to hear that.
"Molle" has already been recommended, alternatively call Jörg at ACP in Euskirchen (https://acp-euskirchen.de). Maybe you are able to contact one of them.
Hope, your problem can be solved in spite of Easter holiday.
Regards
