Looking good
new MC is now installed noticed when i was bleeding the brakes, that the left rear abs ring is pretty muched f|_|cked. so, thats why i have been having some strange noises from rear. the abs ring catches the bearing housing. well, going to remove the driveshaft. and clean it up. and remove the abs ring as its no longer needed
the torque i’m using when putting the center nut back, is that the same as on the front? 265nm?
got my height adjustable coilovers today just installed 2 of them gonna be great. passat rear shocks/springs isn’t the way to go

photos please
you are going to have to wait until its back on its feet again give it a few days. and i’ll snap some photos
need to fiddle around with the heigt, in order to get it right for me
well, i knew i’d get more negative camber in the rear when lowering, but damn. some agressive camber going on here
Thats why you need the camber adjusters
how can you adjust camber on the syncro? i know you can adjust the toe in using those Ushaped plates and exentric bolts. but the camber? how? tell me
Exactly the same way but with vertically instead of horizontally mounted plates
okai. this will be done with my new rear subframe
anyhow. my left rear brake cylinder let go today. and instead of buying a new one, i’m converting it to discbrakes a little sooner then i wanted to
have only a few parts, and need to source the others real fast
what i need is
both rear calipers
discs
both wheelbearings (i mesured the inner race to be 39mm)
e-brake cables (from where? isnt these dropped?)
hard brake pipes
rubber brake lines
the carriers is about all i’ve got for this
oh well, time to search some ebay i guess. the rear calipers are the same as the fwd ones? its just the carriers that is different?
dan
No, your best bet is Golf 4 aluminium calipers (rears) like these
cables here

so. this 1H0 609 721C is the cable i want? what car is it from?
i know about the MK4 calipers. but then i need a different style hose aswell

re cables
The Golf 3 Syncro drum & disc brake cables are 1592mm, 12mm or 1/2 an inch longer than the original ones,
I think that these may be the ones to go for,
p/n 1H0 609 721B for drum brakes
or
p/n 1H0 609 721C for disc brakes
i’ve just bought the cables for golf 3 syncro with discs and i’ve bought calipers
going to find the brake lines i need tonight. giving the partnumbers to a friend of mine who works in a parts store get some niceprices from him
