Title: Brake Servo Reservoir
Post by: Matty! on April 17, 2014, 09:49:04 AM
Hey Guys

After fitting my strut brace my Brake Reservoir seems to be fouling the strut brace, making it lean back, it works fine but I dont fancy really running it too much knowing about this.

Before I end up draining my system for no reason has anybody had this problem before and ither modified, rotated or retrofitted to get around this?

Thanks
Matty

Also it has the upgraded servo on it apparently.

Matty, as far as I'm aware there isn't an "upgraded" servo available for the RHD 2F Polo.
I think the after market upper strut braces tend to be hit and miss when it comes to fitment, hence the interference with the reservoir.
I think I'd sooner run without one, they don't do much on these Polo's anyway.
