Are Your Mk2 Golf Brake Shoes in Need of Replacement?

If you notice a scraping noise from the rear during braking or experience poor handbrake efficiency, it may be time to replace your Golf Mk2 rear brake shoes. This is a relatively straightforward DIY job, and with the aid of a workshop manual or online tutorial, you can navigate through it with a basic toolkit.

For those uncertain or uncomfortable, professional assistance is recommended, as brakes are a safety-critical part of your vehicle!

Fitting New Wheel Cylinders for Golf Mk2

The Golf Mk2 rear wheel cylinders are integral to the hydraulic circuit. If you need to replace one due to leakage or seizing, bleeding the entire brake system is necessary before driving. While this may sound daunting, there are plenty of one-person, pressurized air systems on the market make the process easier for solo mechanics.

Exercise caution when removing the metal brake pipes from the back of the wheel cylinder to avoid damaging the joints and potentially lengthening the job to replace the entire brake pipe.

New Golf Mk2 Rear Brake Hoses

Bridging the gap between movable suspension and steering components are the brake flexi-hoses. These rubber components connect to hard metal lines, brake calipers, or wheel cylinders. Since they degrade over time, it’s advisable to change them while working on the hydraulic side of the braking system.
