Re: I hate VW Rear-Disc brakes!!!

[kdbinney@juno.com (Kyle D Binney)]

I have rebuilt alot of VW rear calipers lately, Napa kits in them all and
no problems since.  I use my e brake all the time, no problems.  I
believe that old fluid probably containing water and such is the problem,
new dot 4 stuff in the whole system is just a good idea anyway.
