jpsh120 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 The wife’s Arosa was in for MOT last week and a potentially dangerous issue was found. The rear brake pipes which are part flexi-part rigid can corrode on the ally section under the paint, they’re not easy to access and could be overlooked by less thorough MOT stations so one to be aware of. This is on a sport with rear discs, not sure if models with drum brakes are the same.The place I use had recently had a Passat in that had suffered brake failure on the motorway due to this – fortunately there was a happy ending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisbee Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Poor mantanance, cake the lines in that run near bodywork or the rear beamnim copper grease.Proper garages know this on all cars and do it as part of a service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
