Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • TAS Mk1 disc brake conversion proportioning valves

    wanted to buy Mk1 disc brake conversion proportioning valves and a unicorn egg please if anyone has some

    The eggs are hard to get but not impossible, proportioning valves are a bit harder to find.

    I'm fitting rear discs to my MK1 either from my wrecked MK2 GTI or off a Seat Cupra. Whichever way I go it will leave a spare valve for sale.

    I've also got an adjustable aftermarket proportioning valve I might play with. If it works then you've got a choice of valves on offer.

    Cheers

      Part you need is 533 612 151A (pressure sensitive brake pressure regulator ) VW classic parts have done a few new production runs of these however they are once again nil stock ( think each was around 125 Euro ) If you manage to find used units I would seriously consider having them rebuilt as they certainly gum and rust up if brake fluid has not been changed regularly.

      The number on the barrel will read 3 - 15 for the correct units ( 16 Valve Scirocco 2 only ) Units with 3 - 35 are for the drum brake cars only.( find them on cabriolets up to 93 )

      The Mk2 unit is completely different than what you want for a bolt in item for the Mk1 ( load sensing ) it would need the anchor plate welded to the car body as well as a lot of different piping.

      PM me if you cant find any and you seriously want rear discs... ( which btw are a heavier set up using standard VW components )
      Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...

      If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??
