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.
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 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 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.
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.
Two guide pin kits can look similar in photos - always compare dimensions, pin profile and boot design.
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.
What is included in a brake caliper guide pin repair kit?
Depending on the reference, a brake caliper guide pin repair kit may include guide pins, rubber dust boots, mounting bolts, sleeves and grease. Always check the product photo and kit contents for the specific reference.
Can the same vehicle use different guide pin kits?
Yes. The same vehicle model may use different brake systems or caliper designs depending on production year, engine, axle and specification.
How do I identify the correct brake caliper guide pin kit?
The safest method is to check the OE/reference number together with guide pin dimensions, brake system and vehicle information. A sample photo can also help.
Can I send multiple OE numbers for quotation?
Yes. Importers and distributors can send a complete Excel, PDF or OE/reference list instead of requesting each item separately.
Do you supply brake caliper parts other than guide pin kits?
Complete caliper assemblies, repair kits and components for importers, wholesalers and rebuilders. Send your OE references and quantities for a quotation.
