Removing brake bias valve

[Leftoutside 0]

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

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

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?

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.

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.

Hmmm. I'm assuming its a mk3. But you may need it for mot.

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

Retro fit an OBD2 ABS system It does away with the brake bias valve

But that is an absolute ballache!
