Brake Bias Valve
 

Hi All,

I hope I have the right name for this bit, it is on my lovely GT 5S Coupe.

It is just behind the driver side rear wheel, to control the flow of the braking power (from what I understand) to the right wheels so you do not have too much front or rear braking.

Right now I have explained it, is it possible to get a repair kit or does anyone have a replacement or know where I can get one as I have been told mine is leaking.....

I hate MOTs, this is continuing from the previous lot of work.

It's called a brake force regulator. Part 17 on the diagram below.

Part number is 443614151H and retails at about 140 Euros so at the current exchange rate about £140. VAG main dealer should be able to supply.

I have a similar situation with mine. Managed to get a brand new one of ebay for a tenner but must admit I struck lucky. Mine was an advisory at last years MOT so as much as I'd like to, afraid I cant sell it on.

Hi Emjay,

Thank you for a quick reply, do you know if you can get rebuild kits for them?

Not that I'm aware of. I think they are sealed units

Do you (or anyone else) know if one off a newer Audi will fit? I hve been offered a second hand one off a 1986 Coupe for £30.00 and also one off a "G" Reg coupe.

Will these work?

Otherwise if I can not sort then until further notice another great classic goes to meet his maker in the sky.

I'm going to be picking up an 88 coupe gt 2.2 in a week or two, if you can get it off of that you come to take it off you can have it for £20!

Have just checked on VagCat and the part appears to be the same :tup:

Hi davey,

Thank you for the offer, I might also be after some other bits if you are braking the car for spares.

I might get one of the others as I need it for the MoT retest which is in under 10 days.

i will keep you posted on how i get on.

Hi Davey,

If that offer still stands then I think i will take you up on it as I have been sent what I believe to be for a different model.:cryin:

Here are the pictures of what I have been sent and the "D" reg Coupe the bits are suposedily from.

Is the brake Bias Regulator from this car? Or have I been sent the one from a different car?
