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,

    Thing with the bias valves is they only came fitted to GTI MK1s that I am aware of. The MK2 one is a different mounting so wouldn't go on there.

    The other place I look to get one would be a Cabriolet.

    There are restrictors fitted on some MK1 chassis vehicles, usually just below the master cylinder as the rigid lines go under the firewall.

        It's funny because that's what I thought too.

        As I found out it's legal in Vic., as long as you can't adjust it while your driving.
        That's what an engineer told me, as I'm going to fit one to truck & GTI once the pedal box is made & had to clear it first.

          I have one fitted to Gunter, my competition Golf which is fitted behind the handbrake lever as I only have one pipe running to the rear..It is a Willwood unit and I have the rears backed off as much as possible. I am running Mk2 rear discs.
