acf8181 0 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 aren't there two circuits, each operating one front and opposite side rear wheel? Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 dont know, never thought about it much, thats why i asked. lol. it must go from the servo to the abs pump. (which is where im interested in.) then split up. Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 It is diagonally split as acf says, two circuits so that failure in one circuit will still allow you to brake on the other. I could be wrong but I believe that the golf has single line brakes. Volvos for instance have two 'triangular' circuits where each one operates both front brakes and one back brake. There are therefore two brake lines going to each front caliper. I would guess this is dual line braking. Will check though. Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 ok, i finally found the instructions to the lockheed remote servo kit i was looking into fitting, to find that it will not allow fitting to a car with a tandem master cylinder, and guess what... the vr6 has a tandem master cylinder. so i guess i better just wait to see if this turbo fouls the servo, if so, i will be visiting a professional rally car builders to get some shit hot brakes on the fkr. thanks for your help tho people.[ Edited Thu Oct 28 2004, 04:40PM ] Link to post Share on other sites

VRmonster 1 Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 thats not the issue, im getting brembos anyway, i just may have to replace or relocate the servo once i have the turbo, dont know yet though, guess ill play the waiting game. Link to post Share on other sites
