Running gearRepairing brake lines
| With the aid of the flanging tool for brake lines -VAS 6056- it is possible to make connections on the ends of the brake lines without damaging the coating. In certain cases this makes it possible to replace sections of brake lines and thus save repair costs. |
| The flanging tool set V.A.G 1356 must not be used for the black brake lines because of the coating and the diameter of these brake lines. |
Note | t
| Do not bend brake lines more than 90°; this would cause kinks or other deformations which would excessively restrict the brake lines. |
| t
| Wherever possible, disconnect the brake lines on the underside of the vehicle. |
| t
| Select the position of the connecting pieces so that they cannot chafe against any moving parts. |
| t
| Do not grease the spindle; clean with methylated spirits only. |
| Special tools and workshop equipment required |
