Brake force corrector (VW Golf 2)

1. The brake force corrector is bolted to the body in front of the rear left wheel.

2. To remove the corrector, you need to:

a) Add brake fluid to the upper mark on the surface of the reservoir funnel. Place a circle of foil under the plug and press it to seal the reservoir. If the reservoir is sealed, then after unscrewing the pipes from the corrector, significantly less fluid will flow out.

b) Using an open-end wrench, unscrew the four brake pipes from the corrector, marking their location (Fig. 8.4).



c) Remove spring 3 and unscrew the bolt securing housing 2.

Installation

3. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of dismantling.

4. After installing the corrector, it is necessary to remove air from the system.

The corrector must be checked at a service station, since normal adjustment requires installing a pressure gauge in the corrector, the corresponding vehicle load, and the corresponding bending of the corrector arm. The adjustment itself consists of an involuntary change in the spring tension.
