sanchez 0 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 hey all,i had my car in the vw garage the other day to get wishbones fitted and i asked the guy to look over it to see if it will pass the nearly due mot. the mechanic came back and said my car needs new brake pipes, calipers as all are seized and bleed nipples dont look like there going to come out (cars been sitting unmoved for 2 months), new discs and pads and a new pas pump. are the brake pipes easy enuf to do and do u think the calipers will unsieze them selfs?im a plumber to trade so it just seems like pipes to me. maybe not tho!!!!is the pas pump do able by myself aswell?was quoted near a grand for all the work. the car was bought for that. really dont want to scrap the car but everyone thinks im mental for keeping it!!! iv spent a fortune on it as it is. ;( Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Brake lines from an auto factore and mini bender. Remove and use as a template. Easy stuff for a plumber. Link to post Share on other sites
sanchez 0 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Do you think the calipers will unsieze themselves? As I have 2 weeks to burn about in it before the mot is due. Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 might need a bit of persuasion on the calipers Link to post Share on other sites

CALICO 130 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 wind back tool for the rears lever bar as apposed to hammer constant pressure could be better than sudden shock Link to post Share on other sites
