HOW TO VW Golf mk2 mk3 256mm vented rear brake conversion

[@RickBruinsma]

6:30 - You can also use the Passat rear brakeline "8E0611775J" It is a direct replacement part, bolts right up!

[@RestoDesignsnando]

wow thanks for sharing. 👊🏼 top info

[@joeboycott147]

What is the part number for the ABS ring you used? I’m about to order a pair of 9N hubs and the Epytec adapter ring. Do you have to take the current one off before fitting the Epytec one?

[@tamasfabian7162]

Hi. Sorry, but google is my friend. Looking at the link, I have a question about the part. At 4:50, I am interested in the size of the part. Thanks for the reply! Thomas

[@balancereplays7722]

at 0:40 from what car i can get that part is it for drums or brake disks

[@balancereplays7722]

Rear Wheel bearing? OEM number please.. i can find only 5x100 with no ABS ring on it(from polo 9n) please help

[@stevenharpervw]

Where can we buy this adapter plate?

[@AntenainaLand]

I bought a Golf mk3 VR6 rear beam today with the stub axle and break carrier, no brake calipers, no disc brakes, no inner & outer bearing, etc... (I'll mount it on my mk2 Golf btw) Next to it I found a Polo mk3 GTI (6N2) rear suspension with just the brake calipers missing. As I looked closely, it's the version where you can bolt on directly a brake carrier without a need for an adapter like you use. I think the OEM numbers are 6N0 501 117 and 6N0 501 118. Do you think it will bolt on the mk3 rear beam? if so, which disc brakes & caliper & carrier combination will work on it? I'll buy it next time if so. Or I'll just bet on it and buy it and will look for disc/caliper/carrier combination later 😂and share here the results (might take some time though)

[@ceciliosalmeron2371]

Conseguiste adaptarlo así?

[@AntenainaLand]

@@ceciliosalmeron2371 there are offset differences so you can't put mk4 r32 rear discs and calipers like he does. However you can fit Polo 6N2 gti stub axles with Polo 9n hub & bearing to get 5x100 since the 6N2 are 4x100. Beware of brake discs since there are two types 232mm and 230mm with different offset (9n and mk4 ones are pretty similar). you need the 232mm one (1JE 615 601 or Ate 24.0109-0174.1 409174). You can reuse the 6n2 brake carriers (maybe the mk2/mk3 ones too but I can't say). You can use the mk4 brake calipers with corresponding mk4 brake cable + adaptation. Those are in-depth investigations I've done about this topic at that time. I didn't try fitting them yet since I paused the project and didn't buy the polo 9n brakes & hub + bearing + mk4 brake discs, but I've bought the polo 6N2 gti stub axles with brake carriers though. But I spent quite some time making calculation of the brake discs sizes and offset on ATE website and I came to those conclusions. TL;DR you need to double check my claims

[@wardkindts5711]

Any updates?

[@thorsteinelstadolsen2005]

Hey great work! can I use 256 mm 4/100??

[@RestoDesignsnando]

I don't know, you would need to check the disc offset mate. I'm guessing all you would need to do is use a thicker or thinner spacer.

4x100 front disk from VW UP! Has same specs as rear r32 disks in 4x100 bolt pattern, therefore can be used in this conversion. VW P/N for disks is 1S0615301

[@rcboyztoyz6804]

Hello mate I am currently in the process of doing this conversion on my mk3 golf vr6...I have got all the parts...the only thing that I'm struggling with is....how do u put the abs adapter ring onto the hub??

[@bocshafromcluj]

I have the exact same question cause the hubs i bought have a different magnetic sensor

[@rcboyztoyz6804]

@catana bogdan hello mate I actually completed this conversion on my vr6 a few weeks ago....so basically what u have to do is order mk3 abs ring adapter from epytec...the ones that you have on the polo rear hubs..Will bang off with a chisel and hammer....and then u lightly bang the eptec adapter ring onto the hub and then put the abs ring on...I hope that helps

Boas, e obrigado amigo.

[@mechanicalmanny494]

Hi did you also replaced the proportioning valve to a mk3

[@RestoDesignsnando]

Hi there, do you mean the bias valve that it near the rear beam? If you have ABS then no need to, but otherwise yes you make a good point, due to the better braking you may need to adjust the valve if the rear brakes start locking up.

[@mechanicalmanny494]

@@RestoDesignsnando Hi , yes near the beam . How do you adjust the bias valve/ proportioning valve?

[@RestoDesignsnando]

@@mechanicalmanny494 There will be a spring type thing that connects the rear beam to the valve, It will be held in place with a 13mm nut & bolt, you loosen that and you'll be able to adjust the amount it moves which adjusts the brake pressure going to the rear brakes.

I'm not 100% on the B4 as I know the rear beam is slightly different....But I'll guess you'll need more or less all the parts shown in the video.

Just use the Polo 6N2 4 lug bearing, but you'll have to de drill the discs, or try your luck with a set of 256mm front discs, but I think the disc offset is different.

@@michaelvilliers266 ok perfect. Glad you found this video helpful.

[@LouisCleaver]

If I wanted to add vented to the rear of my mk3 Gti (more for show than anything else) is it as simple as removing the disc/bearing and replacing it with a TT hub? And replacing the callipers discs pads and carriers? Oh and maybe shaving the dust guard? Or will I need to do the stubs as well?

[@RestoDesignsnando]

You'll need a way to bolt on the calliper carries as on the mk4 platform cars they bolt on to the rear beam/arms if it's 4x4. That is why you need plates like these ones.

Is there any change to the rear track width with this kit? Do the 10mm adaptors increase the rear width over the stock setup? Cheers

Yes the rear track will be wider by the thickness of the adapters, in this case the adopters add 10mm to each side, adding 20mm total across the axle.

Hello, I can't see the part number for the 5x100 and older ABS ring. Can you share it with me?

[@Albert87nl]

just curious. if you have a front 312mm.. and this on the back. how much is it going to affect brake bias?

[@RestoDesignsnando]

With 312's it wouldn't be too different over a std mk4 platform cars running 312 front and 256 rear, it become's more of an issue on lighter cars like at the rear of mk2's with no ABS and people not setting and adjusting the rear bias valve spring tension on the rear beam right. On this mk3.5 with 312 front, 256 rear, ABS and a half decent set of 205 tyres brake so so well.

[@stevenharpervw]

Do you need to upgrade the brake master cylinder too?

[@RestoDesignsnando]

If it's a mk3 GTI 16V VR6 then no the standard 23.5mm is ok, if it's a lower spec mk2 with a 7" servo and 18mm master then yes upgrade to a 9" servo and 22mm or 23.5mm master cylinder.

[@stevenharpervw]

Reason I ask is, I’m building a corrado with 312mm brakes at the front snd standard 239mm in the rear and I’m wondering what servo and master cylinder to use

[@RestoDesignsnando]

@@stevenharpervw OK this mk3.5 cab also has 312's up front, servo and master (23.5mm) are standard with ABS and works really really well, I think most Rado's are 22mm unless it's a late VR6 with ABS then it'll most likely have a 23.5 one as std.

[@stevenharpervw]

Ah, ok so I need to get a 23.5 master and a 9 in servo

[@RestoDesignsnando]

@@stevenharpervw All Rado's came with 9' servo's as standard. So just 23.5mm mk3 master.
