I'm about to change the rear sezied calipers on my mk4 golf (1.6 8v 1999 petrol). I'm having trouble locating the washer that fits between the caliper and brake hose side of things. I was told on a forum the size I need is 15mm o/d, 10.1mm i/d and 1.2 mm thick.
Tried vw they said there system is not even showing it. The parts guy very unsurely said if I buy the entire hose for £18.63 it might be on that but I have to buy it to find out. Got to love them.
Also no one knows if if its a aluminium or copper or if its a crush washer.
Haynes has no reference to it.
Also when changing the rear caliper do you need to clamp the hose or just switch it over to the new caliper quickly and bleed ?
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about this washer or if them have done this job and know the ins and outs
cheers
