MOT Failure

  1. @vanorak when you say "it wont be cheap" what is your estimate to replace and repair these items ?
     
  2. I'm out. You ask for help on here, get the answers you want, ignore them and then act like a petulant school kid.

    Reading through the majority of your posts you come across as a VZI wannabe troll

    As for prick...
    :rolleyes:

    I'm with Joker on this.
    Still not completely convinced you're not another members idea of a joke.
    If you won't listen, you won't learn. If you don't learn, I hope for your sake you've got deep pockets.
    For that reason, I'm out.

  7. I am not a mechanic, the only way I can test brakes is if I put my foot on the pedal, or pull the handbrake, you should step back a little and not presume everyone is on your level, do you really expect me to take the brakes apart? I did the test this morning that someone suggested, pull the hand brake pump the pedal, if its hard, then release the handbrake and pump and it should be soft, well it was, and listening and applying "your" advise they worked, if it costs money that's the only way I can do it..
     
  8. The brake for each wheel has to demonstrate a stopping force within recommended limits...both fronts then have to demonstrate similar stopping force together (Balance) so you don't pull to one side when you brake...same goes for both rears ...then all four brakes should be tested together, to make sure the rears aren't stronger than the fronts....so you don't tailspin...you have a compensator built into the system to prevent this...if your bus has been jacked up at the back for a long time, this compensator can stick....make sure you check this when you fettle the system
     
  9. they throw their toys out of their prams and call me petulant??? jees grow up
     
  10. thx vanorak, but I wouldn't know how to fettle a system, and its probably complicated, I would need to pay for these jobs to be done, but again, thx, I didn't post the failure for advice on how to execute these jobs, I just posted the info that was given to me thinking you guys could discuss the issues, and all I get is abuse from "the dragons, saying i'm out" for not knowing how to do it?

    Mate, if you don't like it feel free to leave. You've been offered loads of advice on here and pretty much thrown it back at people.
    When people have sent you links to good information, you still need it spelling out....

    Could you not just try wizard, or have you not got the confidence?

    Tbh though, I like my brakes done by competent mechanics!

    Your not the easiest guy to help, you appear to have zero mechanical knowledge, very little patience and a strange sense of humour. You come on with plenty of questions, but this is not a VW Wikipedia it's a VW forum..more a community really. The answers to your questions are the best we can do!

  16. ok, lets repeat it again for the umpteenth time , I HAVE NO MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE, is this clear?, for the little tasks I have asked, I have received excellent advice and completed them, like I say, little tasks, now when it comes to repairing an mot failure, forgive my ignorance but it's a little over my head, and... I never asked for advise on it, it was suggested I post my failure results, and when someone says "i'm out" and then insults me again, I don't think they call it "I'm out"
