supadupagt4 0 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 HI guys,I have had a problem with my brakes for over a year now.When i did the conversion on my car, from 1.8 to vr6, i changed EVERYTHING to do with the braking system.I put in the ABS and associated gubbins.Now the problems are,1, 17% brake efficency on the rear O/S calpier on the handbrake. (new caliper)2, very long pedal travel before the brakes bite.3, a feeling like the brakes just don't have enough power to stop the car(no real bite), just a slooooooow down of the car.All these things together make for a rather scary drive at anything over 30mph.The ABS dosen't work, as there is no judder in the pedal when skidding(obviously, cos i can skid ;-))Can i revert back to braking without ABS or is there a way to test what could be wrong or should i shell out buckets of cash for someone to "find" something wrong and then shell out more cash for them to fix it??our other golf has no ABS and brake a billion times better.any help appreciated.tony.
