Title: rear brake compensator
Post by: dilff on 29 September 2012, 13:03
hi i was hoping somebody may be able to answer a question i have about the rear brake compensator on the mk3. Right here goes i have a early mk3 vr6 with a compensator that i am currently restoring (the car) and i also have a late mk3 gti that doesn't have a compensator that i've been driving for the last 5 years, could somebody tell me why VW changed this design setup and also could you tell me if i would need to put the compensator back on when i put the rear beam back on ? and would it make a differance if i didn't put it back on? the VR6 does have ABS.  any answers would be a help :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I suggest you google search what a rear brake compensator does, then make your own decision.
To explain to you would take me to much time  :grin: be easier for you to read else where.


But yes put it back in

This is why you should put it back.
