Hi Robbie Lees die Powerbrake webwerf wat hulle se oor die regte manier om disc en pads inteloop (bed) so die Engelsman(Niel) sal se Dit was vir my nogal interasant ,ek dink as ek dit met die eerste stel gedoen het was daar ook nie n probleem nie ek het dit eers gelees nadat ek die disc gekoop het M...

mcw

Hi Robbie

Ek het die Powerbrake discs en pads opgesit net voor ons Drie Provinsies to gegaan het
Ek het ook die calipers laat diens met nuwe seels ,die verskil was die R6000.00 elke sent werd
Die brieke het geen shudder meer nie en die bakkie trek ook na een kant toe nie.

Hi Pieter

When filling the cooling system at the factory when assembling a new car this is done by using a vacuum to suck out thecair in anew engine .The wire prevents the hosecfrom collasping under vacuum ,therefore a replacement hose does need this wire
