Brake Caliper Guide Pin Repair Kits for Peugeot, Renault & Citroën
Guide to brake caliper guide pin repair kits for Peugeot, Renault and Citroën applications. Check D7223C, D7196C, D7214C, D7190C and other references.
When sourcing brake caliper repair parts, one of the most common problems is identifying the correct guide pin kit.
Two kits may look almost identical in photos, but differences in guide pin diameter, length, rubber boots, mounting bolts or brake system can make them unsuitable for the same caliper.
This is especially common when sourcing repair kits for Peugeot, Renault, Citroën and Dacia vehicles, where one vehicle model may use different brake caliper systems depending on year, engine, axle and brake configuration.
This guide summarizes several commonly requested brake caliper guide pin repair kit references and explains what buyers should confirm before ordering.
Common Brake Caliper Guide Pin Kit References
Reference | Common Applications | Brake System / Notes |
|---|---|---|
Peugeot 208 II, 2008 II, 308 II, Partner; Citroën applications | BOSCH applications | |
Dacia Duster, Logan; Peugeot 206/Partner; Renault applications | LUCAS / TRW applications | |
Renault Clio, Kangoo, Megane, Trafic; Peugeot/Citroën applications | TRW / LUCAS applications | |
VW Golf/Caddy/Polo; Renault Megane; Peugeot applications | LUCAS applications | |
Peugeot 208/308/Partner; Renault/Dacia applications | Confirm by reference and caliper | |
Peugeot 207/208; Toyota Corolla/Auris and related applications | Confirm axle and brake system | |
D7084C | Peugeot 406/Partner; Citroën/Peugeot LCV applications | Confirm reference before ordering |
D7125C | Renault Clio II, Logan, Symbol, Sandero | Common front caliper applications |
Important: Vehicle applications are for reference only. Always confirm the exact repair kit by OE/reference number, brake system, dimensions or sample before ordering.
D7223C Brake Caliper Guide Pin Repair Kit
D7223C is a commonly requested guide pin repair kit for selected BOSCH brake caliper applications.
It can be found on several Peugeot and Citroën platforms, including applications associated with:
- Peugeot 208 II
- Peugeot 2008 II
- Peugeot 308 II
- Peugeot Partner
- Citroën Berlingo
- Related PSA/Stellantis applications
However, the vehicle model alone is not enough to identify the kit.
Before ordering D7223C, buyers should confirm the brake system, axle position and reference number. See the D7223C product page for specifications and kit contents.
D7196C Brake Caliper Guide Pin Repair Kit
D7196C is used in selected LUCAS / TRW brake caliper applications and covers a relatively wide range of European vehicles.
Common applications include selected:
- Dacia Duster
- Dacia Logan
- Renault models
- Peugeot 206
- Peugeot Partner
- Citroën models
For distributors carrying Renault/Dacia and French vehicle repair parts, this is a useful reference to check when building a guide pin kit range. See the D7196C product page for details.
D7214C Brake Caliper Guide Pin Repair Kit
D7214C is another guide pin repair kit associated with selected TRW / LUCAS brake calipers.
It appears across multiple European vehicle platforms, including selected:
- Renault Clio
- Renault Kangoo
- Renault Megane
- Renault Trafic
- Peugeot
- Citroën
- Volkswagen/Audi group applications
Because the application range is broad, matching only by vehicle name can easily lead to the wrong kit.
For this reference, checking the original sample or guide pin dimensions can be especially useful. See the D7214C product page for reference data.
D7190C Brake Caliper Guide Pin Repair Kit
D7190C is widely associated with selected LUCAS brake caliper systems.
It can appear in applications covering:
- Volkswagen Golf
- Volkswagen Caddy
- Volkswagen Polo
- Audi
- Seat
- Skoda
- Renault Megane
- Peugeot applications
For aftermarket distributors handling several European brands, cross-reference numbers such as D7190C can be more practical than searching individually by vehicle. See the D7190C product page for the full reference.
Why Can Two Guide Pin Kits Look Almost the Same?
This is one of the most common sourcing problems with brake caliper repair parts.
From a photo, two guide pins may appear almost identical. But several details can change whether the kit fits the caliper:
Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
Guide pin diameter | Even a small difference can prevent correct fitment |
Overall pin length | Different caliper brackets require different lengths |
Pin profile | Grooves, shoulders and stepped sections may differ |
Rubber boot design | Boot shape must match the caliper/bracket |
Mounting bolt | Thread diameter, pitch and length must match |
Brake system | BOSCH, TRW/LUCAS and other systems can use different components |
Front / rear axle | The same vehicle may use completely different calipers |
This is why we recommend checking more than the vehicle model.
What Information Should a Buyer Send?
For the fastest identification, send any available information:
- OE number or aftermarket reference
- Vehicle model and year
- Front or rear axle
- Brake system, if known
- Guide pin dimensions
- Clear product or sample photos
- Required quantity
For distributors with many references, there is no need to send them one by one.
An Excel file, PDF purchasing list or OE number list is usually more efficient.
Can We Match a Repair Kit From a Photo?
In many cases, a clear photo can help narrow down the correct product, especially when combined with dimensions.
Useful photos include:
- Complete repair kit
- Guide pins
- Rubber boots
- Mounting bolts
- Original packaging/reference
- Caliper or bracket
However, visual similarity alone should not be treated as final fitment confirmation.
Dimensions and reference numbers remain important.
For Importers and Brake Parts Distributors
Many buyers do not purchase only one repair kit reference.
A typical purchasing list may contain dozens of brake caliper repair kit, guide pin, piston and rubber kit references for different vehicle applications.
Instead of checking each item separately, buyers can send the complete list.
We can check available references and prepare a combined quotation.

Send us your OE numbers, aftermarket references, Excel/PDF list or product photos, together with the required quantities.
