What car is this from?

Got a mass email from my repair shop warning about getting your brakes serviced. There were two pictures included about an owner who neglected his brakes and I thought it would be fun to figure out what car it came from. The shop usually works on European cars, but they aren't limited to it. I really think this is from a Porsche though. (Well, I was convinced until I saw the second picture. Now I'm not so sure anymore.)

Nope...
I have many Fiat/Alfa spares on my garage and that caliper does not seem to come from the Fiat group..

Caliper looks like what was on my Mustang 23 years ago.

I agree, or similar. Here's the rear of a B5 Passat I recently scrapped:

Not that I know all the brands, but I've only seen that type of axle bolt on VWs. 17mm innie.

Hi,

looks like a break caliper that was used in VW group cars. But it's hard to say in which car exactly. Could be Audi, Seat, VW from around 1996 to 2003.

Regards, Markus
