Technical Stilo brake calipers

[tessiedog]

Hi folks
Can anyone confirm that the brake calipers on the stilo are the same parts across the range? Was doing some searching on ebay and looks like calipers from a range of models and engine sizes have the same part number as mine, including diesels (I'm 1.4 petrol and for example the fronts share the part no ZOH 54/22).
Cheers

Rear calipers are the same for all Stilos. The front calipers are different for various engine sizes and years.

I don't recognise ZOH 54/22 as a part number.

Thanks Davren - the ZOH 54/22 is stamped onto the outside body of the caliper below the word "Bosch".
Maybe that's not a part number?
Cheers again.

ZOH 54/22 is not shown in the Bosch parts catalogue, perhaps it's just a casting number for the caliper casing. Bosch part numbers are usually 10 digits long.

Aye.. I bought new calipers to get Gerrard through his annual dice with Doctor Death the MOT man.

One was a refurbished Bosch caliper. It was stamped "Bosch" and then "D03... xxx" or similar. The other side was not a Bosch (no marks at all, although I wasn't completely worried about it, just fitting it... so I may have missed something).

"Caliper nerd" questione --- who else made calipers for Stilo/Bravo etc/. other than Bosch?

The above mentioned Bosch caliper has a rough textured finish to the casting .. whereas my "unknown" brand on the other wheel is smooth.

The smooth one looks nicer (I guess they would be painted, although mine was bare alloy)... and better alloy quality. The Bosch one took on some white specks after I fitted it, whereas the smooth one seemed more resistant.
