Another great and informative video 👍🏻 I’m always looking forward to the next video. My favorite CZcams channel 💯
Thank you thank you, really appreciate the comments, Appreciate the support as always!! Thanks for watching!! Cheers
thank you very much 🫵🏼💪🏼🙏🏼❤
Great result man, 👏
🔥🔥🔥🔥 I want to say thank you for all the Mk1 content that you keep putting out...Between you and Mike(the rabb1t hole) I’m learning more and more ...thanks again.
Thank you thank you!! Ya Mikes a boss!! Love his stuff! Thanks for the comments and appreciate the support!! Cheers
Great episode, as always! I think that this one has inspired me to build an ABA/8v counterflow motor for my '86!
YEEEAAASSSS!! hahaha Love it, get out there, have some fun of your own!! Cheers!! Appreciate the support as always!!
Literally about to do this on my MK1! Perfect timing. Thanks for making this!
Don't do this wothout 3/15 proportioning valves.
Appreciate the support!! Good Luck on your build! Cheers!!
I wish this video was around when I rebuilt the rear brakes on my Mk2 Gti. Even though my car came with rear discs from the factory it was a pain to source decent 85' rear calipers. If I was to do it all again, I would definitely go with the Mk4 calipers. Great video and great content on this channel. Now that this car is leaving the Mystery Garage...I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for these Sunday episodes.
Hahaha as we both know... next video might be getting this VR back on the road lol... Thanks so much for the kind words, appreciate the support as always!! Cheers
great video!
Thanks man, much appreciated as always!! Need to work in this new gear... in time lol! Cheers
Good content.👍
Appreciate it as always, thanks for watching!!
For reference...that rear flex line is what comes factory on a 98-only Passat. Makes it easier to order from a place like Rockauto
Thank you!! Appreciate the comment! Thanks for watching!! Cheers!!
Good work. Solid little car, and will be on the road for another 30 years easy. That initial in the undercoat was cool to see, would love to know if that guy still works at the factory.
Right? i thought that was super cool!! Would love to hear if anyone else has found something similar before? Thanks for watching appreciate the support as always!!
always awesome content and has made me huntinr for a rabbit again! Thanks, o ya amazing work shirt too! hhahah.
cheers
Hahaha YES!! get yourself a mk1 of your own, highly recommend!! Cheers
Very informative video, but I have a couple of questions. When doing this you should disengage the handbrake right? Also, what about the prop valve?
What's up man, I love your videos. I just finished doing the exact same thing on my MK2 Jetta, and your video helped me a lot!!!
As I'm doing/replacing the new hand brake cables, I noticed that mine seem too long. I believe I bought the ones for MK3. I'm guessing there's my problem, or they also should fit the MK2 platform? Thanks!!
Sorry i missed it what MK and spec were the rear brake lines and holders from? MK2 16v? Thanks
Do you remember the bearing part number? I had some bearings from a cabrio I used to own but never installed. I think it had drum brakes so idk if the bearings will fit the same on the disks
Is the mk4 rear caliper also advisable as it's got the handbrake screw mechanism built in?
I follow from mexico, thanks for your videos, May you share the part number from the mk4 hoses, and the bolt caliper diameter in milimeters. Thanks.
I'm really surprised that the aftermarket doesn't provide standard kits to do this stuff. As popular as these cars are, I'd think that Brembo and the others would make this stuff easily available like they do for so many other cars.
They do s&p has them
Yes there are quite a few options out there, but as this stuff gets older and slightly harder to find, price is climbing, so finding some second hand bits makes it an easy pill to swallow! Thanks for the comments, appreciate the support! Cheers
@@MysteryGarage Yep, I understand. I'd much rather refurbish something than buy new. It just looked to me like you needed lots of parts from different sources to make the conversion work and that's what surprised me. Thanks for the content and for responding to my post!
Awesome info great work. Can you use all mk4 parts to upgrade mk1 breaks?
I had same question and would appreciate any info, thanks million.
Calipers yes, carriers you should be able too, but disks and spindles are different if i remember right, been a minute since i really looked at a mk4 beam. Dont quote me on that though lol. Appreciate the watch and thank you for the support!! Cheers
Buen día se le pueden adaptar a un golf mk3 1997
I knew back in the day TT tuning and Bahn Brenner sold these kits, all brand new stuff, thats where I got mine from(Bahn Brenner), but that was 10+ years ago, not sure if you can still get them
To be honest I'm pretty sure some of those guys still do, but those kits are in American dollars, so after conversion for us Canadians and shipping its north of $1000 for a kit, so I'm was showing the more budget friendly approach, if possible. Thanks for watching!! Cheers
@@MysteryGarage Yeah I know , especially now that our $ is so week.
Great Channel and amazing video!
I’ve been debating if I should build up my 2.0l block to a mean engine fast engine.
Thanks to you I’ve starting planning and pricing out parts😅
Keep up the good work man
Thank you! 2.0L block is a great engine, doesn't break the wallet either!! Thank you for watching i appreciate the support!! Cheers!!
Awesome. Does a mk2 carrier work as well? I actually got a while rear beam from a 16v Scirocco but the calipers are probably going to be replaced just to make sure they work.
Yes sir, mk1 scirocco stuff works too! Yes i suggest caliper replacement or at least a rebuild where needed. Appreciate the support as always! Cheers!
@@MysteryGarage I was going to rebuild it but trying to drill out the bleeder went south. Maybe this summer I will get it done though. Right now I have to get her starting again. My injection pump is leaking at the governor and when I put my motor mount on the passenger side the pump may be out of time a little.
If you just Google be mk2 brake conversion it will come up with plenty of kits for the swap even wilwood kits are available
right, but its to expensive
Nailed it! Ya prices as those parts are getting harder to find are continually climbing so i was taking the more affordable approach. Ans since im canadian after exchange and shipping on those kits, they are north of $1000 for us... ouch. Lol. But thanks for watching, love the comments, and appreciate the support!! Cheers
Gti with hubs on rear 🤔 must be a rep
What year and model did you get parking brake cable come out of?
You can source them from any mk2/mk3 that came with rear disks, pretty easy to find stuff. Hope that helps!! Thanks for watching, i appreciate the support!! Cheers
Just done this on my 1989 vw mk1 cabriolet but having issues with what handbrake cables i need. I have the mk3 rear calipers. The original cable to my drum brakes was a 171609721C….. the corrado cables that came with the rear disc conversion kit, were a 1HM609721A and i'm being told that the cables i actually need come from a scirroco which is a 533609721 or possibly even a 1H0609721E which looks like they wont fit either. Any ideas?
Scirocco Mk2 will fit, they share the same parts. Please don‘t forget to use brake pressure reducers (3/15) for the rear disc brakes!! That is really important!
why does the golf GTI model not have dics brakes too start with? in Denmark, all mk2 GT and GTI models have disc brakes in the back.
Hi.
If I’m not remembering wrong, I think some of the first Mk2 Gti’s that came in 84-85 had rear drums.
Doesn't this conversion need proportion valves? I know they have a load compensation valve but should it also have disk brake specific pills on each rear line before that? My experience tells me those rears are going lock real early.
Yes sir, more or less what i tried to cover of in the disclaimer a little... Once you open the can of worms too much, you start to go down rabbit holes and i was trying veer away from that why i suggested everyone does their individual research and do what fits their own needs. This car still has more brake upgrades to come in its future, Fronts, Master, etc... so i left that alone for now. Maybe ill cover more on that down the road, have to see! Thanks for the comments, appreciate the watch and the support!! Cheers
For this kind of conversions you need brake pressure reducers, without them the rear discs will block and you will loose control of the car.
Sorry I didn't catch it but what are the spindles and keepers from mk4?
He used mk3 spindles, and carriers. You can also use mk2 16v rear disk spindles and carriers, they're the same.
Nice! Yes thanks boys, thanks for watching!! Appreciate the support!! Cheers
Hey buddy what dust shields are you using on the rear breaks.
Mk2 or mk3 shields work! basically all the same... disk shields i mean. Appreciate the watch and the support, thanks so much! Cheers
@@MysteryGarage your very welcome. A great video thanks. Are these the mk2 stub axles?
Is the E-cable also from mk4?
Use an ebrake cable for an mk2 16v car, mk3, and mk4 cables are too long.
@@brandonb2985 Thanks kindly
Awesome thank you! Sorry i was slow on the draw on that one!! Cheers boys!! Thanks for watching
💙💙💙🇩🇪
Cheers!!! Thanks for watching!!
This video doesn't show the proper way of doing a disk brake conversion. Both the mk1 and the mk1 need special proportioning valves installed when swapping from drums to disks. Leaving them out messes up the brake balance which can cause the car to spin in an emergency brake situation.
The disclaimer at the beginning doesn't make it any better. Working on brake systems without knowing what you are doing is already bad enouth. Doing it on someone elses car or uploading a video tutorial about doing it the wrong way despite knowing better is just plain irresponsible.
Hahaha alright man... While you're not wrong on the proportioning side of things, my disclaimer as you mentioned covered off the fact that there are many ways to get to the end target (factory, Aftermarket etc..) so I left that to everyone's personal research, i specifically said that. But i would hesitate to say i don't know what I'm doing...
To each their own man... Either way i appreciate peoples comments and their own take, and i take your feedback in stride, not everyone's going to be on the same page as my content and I'm ok with that. When you make a how-to video of your own, send me a link id be happy to promote it, but until then id take it easy on the insults... Appreciate the comments regardless and thanks for watching!! Cheers
@@MysteryGarage You are realeasing misleading video material on brake modifications that could, if taken for granted put other peoples lives at risk. It's not my responsibility to correct that, it's your's. Please do so.
@@CodewortSchinken fair enough, like I said I appreciate your take, I’m not here to be misleading in the slightest. I’m also not here for my channel to be taken literally either... if you were a fan of the channel (for lack of a better term, meaning, standard viewer) you would know I’ve stated this channel is not a “how-to channel” multiple times (mentioned almost to the point of annoyance) that it’s just a video log of my auto journey so to speak. I’d love for you to watch more of my content to understand that... everything anyone does on CZcams needs to be taken with a grain of salt, understanding there much more to it... I don’t watch house building video and build a house based on others codes, that’s to be understood. Why I even bothered with the disclaimer in the first place. if I took the videos I watch litterally I would be a millionaire driving super cars laughing at ordinaries like myself. This is a hobbiest channel with hobbiest views. Yours is literal, I’ll let you take it that way and leave it at that. Cheers man! I wish you happy motoring as I do everyone I encounter!! All the best!
You are right! He has 100% pressure on the rear brakes! 3/15 brake pressure reducers are needed for the conversion. There are no factory from VW, many were using those from the Opel Kadett GSI, Astra GSI, Peugeot 205/305 GTI.
The so called 5th brake valve on the MK2 is useless because you lowered the car and the valve opened up because you simulated that the car is overweight.
Love your content.
When I did the conversion on my 78 Mk1 I used the proportioning valve from a 84 rabbit GTI which is located in the engine compartment on the fire wall.
This valve replaced the spring regulating mechanism that was on the rear axle beam on early rabbits..
When converting to discs from drums the old regulator would not compensate for the increased clamping force and the rears would lockup causing a very dangerous situation.
I realize the 84 GTI's had drums but for some reason this valve just works.
After installing this valve I've never had the rears lock up and the brakes always work as they should.
I'm no expert and it's been about 20 year since I built my rabbit but I still drive it today and the brakes work great.
I also have the vacuum booster master cylinder system from the same 84 GTI.
Here's what the valve looks like.

Great stuff!! Thanks so much for the comments, really appreciate it!! Thanks for watching too! cheers!!
I noticed that you did not bump it to the 22mm Master Cyl. any reasons ??
I didn't cover to much outside of the rear beam stuff, just because of all the option and choices and opinions out there. But yes i imagine this car will be receiving a front brake upgrade very soon, then we will be playing with biasing and master sizes etc.. This is such a great car! Cheers, appreciate the support and the watch!
