Leftoutside 0 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Would I encounter any problems if i just plumb my brakes without the bias valve im getting so much trouble with? I would rather just not have it if its essentially a clever (read smart ass) junction box?Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 You can buy an inline one. The standard one on the rear axle is a #%+€$ to remove lol let me find you a link. And yes you will have a problem. If you don't run one, the rear will get the same braking pressure as front and it should be about 75-25 as all your weight is at the front. 50-50 is bad lol Link to post Share on other sites

Leftoutside 0 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hmm, where would I put that? Not sure leaving all that exposed underneath the car is a good idea right? Also, the image displayed only has the on inlet and outlet. The bias valve has 2 for both left and right obviously? Shed any light on that? Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I would put it in the car somewhere. Boot maybe. Or look for something similar. And you could run it from you m/c too that then from that too a t piece. Unless your running abs lol then that complicates it. Link to post Share on other sites
Leftoutside 0 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yeah I do have abs, hence why I was just going to do away with the bloody thing. Absolute nightmare, been through 2 already, one faulty and it seems ones jammed. Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hmmm. I'm assuming its a mk3. But you may need it for mot. Link to post Share on other sites
Leftoutside 0 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yeah mk3, and pants. The only reason i ask is i did some snooping on a mk3 95+ GTi and that didnt have one at all. Just copper pipes straight to flexies, thought i would just do the same Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Retro fit an OBD2 ABS system It does away with the brake bias valve Link to post Share on other sites
