  • New brake pipe unions leaking

    Hi, yesterday i replaced the rubber brake hoses on my polo mk4 and torqued the brake pipe unions to the required torque of 10 ft lb, but still i see some “sweating” on the threads that appears after some time, should i torque them a bit more? I don’t understand as i torqued them to the required spec.. i don’t see any damage anywhere also that may cause the leaking

    10 ft lb is only about 13nm, so id try nipping them up a little bit more first before persuing other alternatives.

    Did you make sure the threads were clean and undamaged before you fitted the new brake hoses?
