mech205eng 11 Posted February 20, 2013 Just about to plumb in my new brake lines, im running one pipe to the back, through a bias valve, then T'ing off before going to each rear corner. I'l be blanking off the spare m/c port. If i'm stood at the front of my car looking into the engine bay i'm number the ports thusly; 1 2 3 4 I'm naming the front driver's side brake A, front passenger side brake B, rear brakes C, and the blank D This is how i was going to run it 1D 2C 3A 4B Is this the best way? I have read something previous about the reliability of the m/c and incase of a failure, which ports will fail first. Can't quite remember the details though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 243 3 Cars Posted February 21, 2013 The way you intend to set your system up is the same as how it is done from the factory on the 1.6 GTI with the bias valve inplace of the line which has the rear compensator in from the factory. If any line in the system fails you will have very limited braking because the fluid will travel through the path of least resistance surely, much the same as when you bleed a single brake line, you can push the pedal to the floor even with the rest of the system sealed? g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slo 283 1 Cars Posted December 17, 2013 Yes its right although you could use either of the rear ports for the back brakes, that's how my cti brake pipes are set up too, braided brake hoses make standard 1.6 gti brakes very effective as well! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
