    I have the same problem that was described here. Although I cant see a bleed nipple anywhere near the brake fluid resevior or on the MBC - Can anyone helo ?

    ANyone know where and IF the Master Brake Cyclinder has a bleed nipple ? 95/ODB-1

    Can anyone tell me why during the ABS pump bleed procedure you need to have the car lifted off the ground. See below from VAGCOM site :- "Vehicle must on a lift or safe jack stands with no wheels touching the ground"

    Hi. My local garage replaced this for me to try and fix a very stuborn sensor fault! - It seemed to work although I have a question about bleeding the pump - the garage didnt do this. Should this be done before or after bleeding the brakes at the callipers ? Or doesnt it not matter. Also, could someone confirm the order to bleed. I saw on a forums NSR, OSR, NSF, OSF - but my haynes manual tells me to start on Right Rear which I thought was OSR. Thanks in advance.

    :-) Same problem 3 years later. And I must admit kit smacking the disk with the hammer was good fun - Thanks Shmuckbucket

    How did you diagnose it ? Put the bearing on the axal and wiggle it about ?

    >> Who fitted the new bearings? I did From memory I followed the haynes manual. I tightened the nut up just by hand and the washer could be moved a little with a srew driver. I then put the lockign cage and split pin in.... You think maybe its too loose ?

    >> Has the wheel bearing play been adjusted correctly? I didnt think the bearings on the Vr6 could be adjusted ?

    >> larger wheel hub size OK, I'm new to all this :-) Itsnt the wheel hub just the disc ? - I have just installed the new disk and bolted the wheel on - Even if it isnt this i'd like to understand it. Is there an easy way to check if its the bush or beary. Actually, when i first tried to get this car through the local Isle of Man it failed because of a "Wheel Bearing" - the bearnig has now been changed twice so I'm thinking its somthing else and this was the original problem

    Hi - I have no idea about what they are. Can you explain ? Are you saying i should have some plastic thing which should be pushed into the disc where the wheel bolts on ? - It does feel like the play is caused by the nroad wheel not being bolted on properly although its proper tight.
  11. gazchill
    After changing the rear disc's / pads and bearing i gave the wheel a rock and noticed there is a bit of play. It seems the play is on the road wheel itself and not the bearing (The disk doesnt move) Is this common ? - The wheel was put on by the prev owner, its a 205/40/17

    I see that this conversation is for the front brakes. Anyone know what the differences are if I wanted to do the rear too ?

    I'm in the Isle of Man, but I found the following page which has helped me get hold of the parts. from a FORD dealer :-) haha http://www.s2-audi.co.uk/tech_articles/brakes/brakes.htm

    Does anyone know where I can get a caliper pin for the rear lucas calliper. I;ve snaped the head of the caliper pin bolt into the pin. Dealer ses it comes with the caliper mount which is 60 quid, which I feel a bit hard of paying for a new pin. Thks
  15. gazchill
    Can anyone tell me where the pressure is on the Calliper. Is it on the Calliper (very difficult to remove) mounting bolts or the calliper pin bolts ? Which one should be tightened up the most ? (what is the torque for each)
  16. gazchill
    Hmmm, Yes they are new pads (Green Stuff, purchased very GSF) No new pin bolts though
  17. gazchill
    I've got my discs back on, and am ready to put the calliper back together. My haynes manaul ses :- "Ensure you renew the capplier pin bolts and that they new bolts are coated with a locking compound" Does anyone do this ? I cant even see where to but them from. Thanks

    Thanks, why do i need to open the brake fluid resevoir and what bits do i soak in WD40, have already stripped it down....Thks

    Hi, Im fitting some new discs and pads on my VR6 and have a few quesitons 1) The rear calliper doesnt have any anti-sqeel shims/clips. Is this normal for a VR6 calliper ? 2) Do I need to replace the calliper pins when I change the pads ? GSF said they dont do a brake pad fitting kit for he VR6 2) Any suggestions for front discs, can i use the later and slightly larger VR6 discs (95 onwards) on a pre 95 version ODBC-1 (If thats what its called).The car is charged so would like to uprate them a little. Thks

    Hi, Can anyone tell me the part number for a 96 VR6 ABD ECU ? Rear Left senor fault that just wont go away so want to try a new ECU. Thanks.

    Hi, I've got a couple of problems with my ABS that I hope you can help with :- i) The ABS Light bulb (on the little circuit borad behind the dashboard) has blown. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get another one. Can't find one at a breakers yeard and the dealer wants 80 notes for a new one - Which is a bit steep for a LED ii) The ABS has had an intermittend fault for some time (hence the light blowing) VAGCOM comes up with a rear right intermittent sensor issue. Sensor has been replaced and its been cleaned out down there but I still get the problem from time to time. Although if

    Hi, I've got a ODB1 VR6 with a ZR1 charger (With Modified belt for slip reduction) Its been sat for about four weeks not really doing anything. Since then it started making a really annoying sqeaking sounds coming from the charger drive belt. I'm dying to spray WD40 on it - But I dont think this would do the belts much good. The car is still pulling well, bearings on the charger were done recently. After about 15-20 mins the sound had gone. Any ideas ?
  23. gazchill
    Am thinking of trying the "Grabit" tis on Ebay for 25 notes at the moment. Anyone used it on a high torque bolt
  24. gazchill
    Which Stud/Bolt Extractor would people recomend ?
  25. gazchill
    hmmm - Starting to sound like a pain. Has anyone out there had the same problem and managed to get them out ? I was thinking about the EZ bolt out kit but have heard they dont work on high torque bolts (They can snap and leave you in even more trouble)
