MrBen 0 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Early mk3 GTI's so I would presume VR's too, had a load proportioning valve attached to the rear axle.This works on the basis that the back of the car is lower due to additional weight, so puts more braking pressure to that end. If you lower it, you have to adjust it so that it is in the position it used to be in when the car was unladen, if that makes sense! Link to post Share on other sites
Dogsballx 30 Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 i thought as much, tried last night adjusting it, no difference, now decided to junk it & have bought an adjustable one for inside the car, so now will also have to run the line inside the car, i have the proper workshop manual about 2" thick tells you bugger all, dogs Link to post Share on other sites
