Brake compensator valve

Post

Back to the top
Does anyone know of any alternative options to the rear compensator valve fitted to a mk1 gti?
either if any others fit or if there are rebuild kits?

Mine is seized solid and the only one I can find is one on eBay in worse condition than mine.

Thought I had found some on auto doc but then realised they were out of stock. 🙄

would really appreciate any advice.

They are pricey at either werks34 or vwheritage, I can't remember where I found it for some one, but I would say
the Cabriolets have them at the MC and not load sensing as some of the Golfs and Cabbies had.


What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Thanks. I haven't been able to find one anywhere. The one I'm after is the one that looks like the m/c with a spring by rear axle. Is the alternative to fit the inline ones up front and redo some brake lines?

Thank you!! 

Have seen those as well but they are a different layout. Guess I will need to make a bracket and maybe change some brake lines to get the square one to fit. Maybe I'll buy one and get under the car this weekend and see what's what. 

Appreciate your help!

Thanks. Can I ask what the cost and lead time was roughly?
