But that is an absolute ballache!

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

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.

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?

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

Not familiar with a twist-to-set? Pretty certain my valve is still faulty as I've heard they can jam. I might have been really unlucky and have had an imperfect first one and a faulty valve in the second. Either way the valve is still at fault as there aren't any kinks in the pipe or anything and all new braided hoses. You reckon you could get me a photo so I could Check the order of the pipes and where they go?

Tbh mate im still having trouble with it, it appears its really hit and miss considering it should be a fairly simple valve. considering removing it altogether after I looked at a 92 GTi which didnt have one. Bought one for my reg from GSF which was 100% faulty, replaced for another unit by a garage (so unknown make and model) and that isnt giving me breaking at the rear (tested on rollers - I work at a dealership) I'm still stumped, not sure where to go from here and cant really suggest what you should do either...

Nah, its just a pain. Looks well tidy in the bay though! Just my two cents, ill be gunning for the quaife, then the FI

Identical to what I want to do, bet your looking forward to that! The Schrick/VSR is always going to be a bit pricey, plus if you get the 'cheaper' schrick you have to remove the mani to change the plugs which is a pain. better off putting the money towards forced induction or a quaife if you ask me, or both.

I had a problem similar to this once upon a time and it turned out that the immobilizing alarm fitted (no fobs) caused the car to cut out intermittently and then one day, nothing. Having never had an auto this is just pointing out a fault I had once that sounds similar. Removed the immobilizer and hey presto

Recently fitted APs, cant fault for price. KW's budget brand so you cannot go wrong.

The cheap tyres are a remnants of student living. 4 Wheel alignment it is, gonna have the front bushes replaced by a garage as its my daily and reckon ill shear many bolts. So ill have them fitted and have a 4 wheel alignment and corner weighting and hopefully that should sort it! Cheers for the speedy replies! Pumped the tyres up too (my footpump was clearly out) to about 38 ps from roughly 25 and that has seemed to make a world of difference also!

Hi Guys, Long Story short, Changed the bushes on the rear for powerflex and changed to AP coilovers all round. Front feels really vague now. Wangering over bumps and excessive bumpsteer, doesnt inspire confidence at all, and its not even that low. Tyres are rubbish and ran on positive camber for a while - now negative - (bloody cheap ass garage). Is there anything besides the wishbone bushes that might be causing this? As I dont wana change them and still not sort the problem (have all the bushes ready) Cheers

Notoriously difficult to bleed, my peddle has been soggy since ownership really as although the breaking was poor they did work and I had other things to attend to. First start with a couple bleeds of the system. Best bet is to use a vacuum method and a vag-com to bleed the ABS. If not slam the breaks on after bleeding and engage the ABS to purge the system and rebleed. Next, hope that sorts the issue, as after that your on you own

With the weather, put everything off, wanted to replace the front wheel bearings too so was gonna attempt it all then!
