How safety critical are these?
I have a slight problem in that the front pads need doing on the Passat, but the pad retaining spring snapped when I removed it.
I've now booked it into my local garage to do the job as I have a feeling something else might go wrong..... however, I'll have to drive it there.
Is this a massively safety critical component on a Passat caliper, or is it just there to stop the pads ratting about as they are on my bike?
Cheers
