got my rears from eric..... KICK ASS WORKMANSHIP!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) but, i've noticed that my rear rotors aren't slick and shiny like the fronts (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) i'm VERY much convinced/KNOW that it's NOT the calipers and the mech. SAID he adjusted them properly......do you think it's the proportioning valve? if so, where is it and how do i adjust it?

I'd be willing to bet $$$ that the mech didn't adjust them RIGHT!
adjust them yourself, it's not THAT bad, and you'll KNOW for sure... if the prop valve is bad, just pull it and replace it with a "T" it's a PITA anyway! |

the prop valve is the PITA(Pain In The Ass)...
you can get the "T" from any VW shop... buses and bugs all used the "T" brake fitting... |

not a dumb Q... no such thing! by vw shop, I mean a "classic" VW parts store, but many of them DO service VWs too.. old VWs though.
there are some online too... CIP1.com ; mid-america motor works has a VW division, aircooled.net, etc... |
