Col_M 0 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi guys, hows things? long time no post My VR just failed it's MOT on rear disks (12% efficiency :-d), the front disks and pads also came up on advisories so i went to GSF and got everything. The rear bearings also came up as advisories so while i had the wheels/brakes off i thought i'd might as well do them too.I don't have a manual for the golf so is there anything i have to look out for or take care with? I've done brakes on a cavalier so i know general stuff, just looking for any VW/VR6 specific pointers really Cheers people..Col EDIT: anyone know where i can get a Bentley manual? i've checked on amazon but nothing, only for american Mk4 VR6s :S Link to post Share on other sites

Col_M 0 Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 It's ok i'm not doing it after all, my cousin will do it for me as he has a workshop with a press for the bearings, the tool for pushing the calipers in, cover to keep the rain off and no bloody great hill to worry about working on a car with no brakes thanks for the help though Link to post Share on other sites
