Brakes-Solved & A3 Calipers

["Brad Sayer" <vwrocco87@hotmail.com>]

The problem with my pedal to the floor brakes turned out to be the Master 
Cylinder.  Replaced it yesterday and the brakes are good.  Still need to be 
broken in a bunch but the pedal feels good now.  Not sure how the old one 
got ruined, but it turned out to be the wrong size (20 not 22mm) anyway.

Many may be interested in this:  I used the A3 rear calipers on my car.  
Brand new, only about $65-70 (compared to 140 for Scirocco calipers) and new 
internal ebrake design eliminates siezing that plagues our cars.  The 
calipers bolt right up when switched sides, (left to right and right to 
left) and flipped over.  The ebrake lines up perfectly and works fine.  
Regular sized 16V brake lines are used. The only issue was a matter of 
bleeding the brakes properly.  I simply bled the rears with a pressure 
bleeder while holding the calipers in thier stock A3 position.  After 
bleeding, I flipped them over and bolted them on.  Very easy!

I definately recomend this to everyone!
