My 96 Eagle Vision TSI is leaking brake fluid from the driver side rear proportioning valve.
However, my service center told me that while the rusted rear brake line has to be replaced, the valve is to only be removed and not replaced.
They told me this was due to a design change in the LH series.
Is it true that this rear proportioning valve in no longer necessary, and my car's brake system will be as safe as it was with valve as it will now be without it?
