Hi, i have a 1969 volkswagen bug. Time to time on of my wheels looses its brake. My mechanic said that one of the values which exist between the brake line and the master pump might getting blocked and have to replace it. But the problem is i couldn‘t find those values since they are out of stock in my country. So what the part dealer said was to connect the line without the value. 1. What kind of a work those values does in the brake system ?2. If those are removed what is the bad side of it ?Thank you in advance.Gayan,
Noit's not porous so there is nothing for the paint to stick to.
Mechanic is talking to you in layman languagesomething you can understand on the principles of how it works. It is the wheel cylinders, one for each wheel. Get a book on VW repair either out of a library our out of a second hand store for a dollar. Interesting you have 3. But then again, I never really counted. If you remove, no brakes and no brake fluid and too bad for you. All cars wear out just like the shoes on your feet, so you have to keep them up which mean spending more than just for gas and oil. The dealer should have it, mind you they do not have to carry parts past 20 yearsso for this item you could be hoopedso next option would be an autoparts store or an autosalvage yard or you would have to rebuild the unit you got. But you would already know that if you had half a clue and not be here asking, so I realize I am talking another language. So much easier and cheaper timewise to get another
I have attached a link to two air cooled VW brakes systems, Inside of each of your drums, there is a wheel cylinder that when you press on your brake pedal expands and puts pressure on the brake shoes to help your car stop. The wheel cylinders can leak and should be easy to get. Front - 113611057B is the part number Rear - 113611053B is the part number The other thing to check for is leakage both below the master cylinder and where your master cylinder attaches to your pedals on the inside of the car.
