This puts the bleed valves on the bottom where they do little good. Any chance yours are wrong, too? the bleeder valves are on top. How about the parking brake? Does it work? Does it feel right? Engage it solidly (while parked) and THEN pump up the foot brake. Release the foot brake only, and then wait a minute. When you reapply the foot brake after a minute does the foot brake need to be pumped up again or does it get firm on the first stroke? >> the parking brake got an adjustment too, it now works better. when the parking brake is engaged the brake need one pump, but when not engaged it needs a few pumps(when parked). the brakes seem to work better when the e-brake is up, this would mean the rear brake needs adjustment but they are adjusted correctly Jeremy 67sqbk ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
