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,

  • handbrake cable length - confused

    I have Mk3 rear caliper and fitted it upside down because of the handbrake cable position is at top for my pre-88 Mk2.
    As far as I know if I get the later Mk2 handbrake cable so it route to the bottom of the caliper I can refit the Mk3 caliper back to normal position, main advantage is I don't need to turn it up side down each time I bleed or change brake fluid.

    Look at GermanAutoParts website, the earlier Mk2 cable is longer (1800mm), later cable is 1625 mm. Can any one confirm if earlier Mk2 cable is longer or shorter ? I read most other website, they all mention earlier cable is shorter.

    I have this setup on my mk2. I used the standard cables, but mine is an 84! I mounted mine upside down and just bench bled them.
