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,

  • Braided hoses: New ADR rules?

    Was surfing the net and came across this:
    Hi everyone, Been researching for an upgrade of brake and clutch lines and wanted to clear up some myths in regards to ADR approved braided brake lines that I've came across and share what little knowledge I have. The old ADR 7 meant that all braided lines had to pass a whip test.. and without the ADR approved sheaths over the line near the end fittings, they would not be ADR approved. Like this.. http://pfefittings.com/images/PFEHA1300.jpg


    Is this true? If so, thats great and no more of the "being ripped off" prices.

    That has been around for a little bit now. Pretty glad since finding ADR-7 compliant hoses was a real pain when I was doing my brake upgrades a year or two ago.

      Really? Hmm that's kinda funny cause I swear the peeps about less than a year ago told me that overseas braided hoses are not complaint and only those assembled here in Australia by certified brake specialists with the the 'special' stamp or tag on them with a code complies.

      I sure hope they were only telling me fibs because it was blooding confusing and no-one seemed to know exactly whats what. Even the guys at Race Brakes Sydney said that their Goodridge brake hose supplier imports them as a kit (but still much more pricey than me importing them myself).
