im hoping to get it in for a mot friday ,,, if i ge these few bits sorted

I think your problem is a combination between your rearbreak compensator and maybe your master. The compensator on mine started too leak some time ago and i just bypassed the pipes, the result was lower pedal and the rear wheels lock up first if i brake to hard

It's easy to just replace the mk1 servo and mc with one from a mk2 gti

You need a 8" servo from any MK2 Gti (if you have room for the larger diameter) with a MK2 16v M/C atleast!

But if you are using the 312mm 4mo brakes with vented rears then even the 16v M/C will struggle. You might be better off modifying one from an Audi or something to fit

dam more problems al , right , just a thought will a mk3 vr6 master fit onto the caddy servo , as if it will , they have discs front and rear and with rear conpansators ,and would also save time re makeing the header tank

[worthingcaddy]

no, you need the servo to match

[powernut]

grrr , better rush off down to scrapy in 5 see if i can find anything to do the job, as i know there is a mk3 vr6 with one one , but servo looks massive (well compaierd to the caddy one

[worthingcaddy]

mk3 ones will fit the 4 bolt pattern but the bit that joins the brake linkage needs to be cut off and threaded, easiest way is mk2 gti,

[powernut]

what about a audi 80 tdi?

MK 3 servo mod not too hard - especially not for u!

nice one matey off to go grab one cheers matey ..i reckon ill get a vr6 one in with a bit more chopping lol,,, if anything i need brakes lmao

[worthingcaddy]

vr6 is the same size as mk2 16v but i doubt ul find a mk2 16v at the scrappers

[powernut]

probly not pal,i found a mk3 vr6 complete one , so ill go rip this useless heep off mine , modify fit this other to suit ,may need to add a t piece in the vr for the rear brakes , few quick question do i still need the rear brake conpansators in or not ? i bit of chopping will be needed to my header thow ,,,lol and probley some new brake lines ,

[Al]

B3 passat servo's are the same as mk2's also.

A VR6 with ABS M/C will fit the mk2 servo, this has a larger bore again.

If you are going to go to the hassle of modifying the rod then mate and audi one fit. forget 80s and the like, you wanna be looking at A6's & A8s and bigger engine A4s

[powernut]

cheers al ive found this which i carnt remeber what it came off says 54g 2 3 22 ats 3 brake holes and says vw DE maybe a 22mm vr/passat i reckon

[powernut]

i think this is what u mean al A6 auto quottro 2.8 master slave

might have to chop exhaust and header to fit this lol

[powernut]

servo will get sorted a bit later this week all been well , as i will need to chop the header and re chop the exhaust and alter things i reckon ,,,so looks like it wont be mot friday
but on the good side a few more bits arrived today ,, so might as well get them thown on
,,
archers, airfilter rubber clamps , mint mk1 door, fuel cap ,bumper too

modifyed a airfilter breather another job out the way just waiting for 2 more clamps


then poped the bumper on

tryed the archers for size,,

not gooding to fit these until im happy with the rest of the car and it gets around to a spot of paint
ill get the door poped on tomoz i reckon ,,

[worthingcaddy]

looks so much better with the bumper on!
