    S3- rear wheels feel like they're dragging?

    You know what i think you are right on that one... I did originally think it must be a small thing like the tyres or due to my car having a seized rear brake caliper for a month or so, but now i've read this, it seems to be not a common fault but a problem the older ones seem to get as age...

    Rear Brake Piston clock wise or anti clockwise

    In that case i could be wrong... Don't quote me on the 8mm allen key bits then! lol It's normally an idea to clean where the allen key fits with a think flat blade screwy and the gently tap the key in with a hitting stick.... they can rust abit so when you put them back in, a little copper...

    bleeding s3 brakes

    I'm doing mine tomorrow and I keep reading everyone running Vag-Com when bleeding the brakes! I know the two nipples on the MC have to be done but not too sure of V-C.

    Al right Bill it's Herb. I'm going to bleed my brakes tomorrow (finally) and was wondering where the two bleed nipples on the MC were. Are they on the underside of the fluid reservoir? And do I need to run Vag-Com when doing it? Cheers Bill.

    Anyone for a seized rear caliper???

    Yeah true but i'm out of the country on Monday for 2 weeks so just in case that didnt work I got this other one. Saves the hassle really. Plus the sliders on the Carrier are absolutely shafted so i needed a new one either way... And yes before anyone else asks, I was using a wind-back tool.
