Subject:Fryday - Mk IV Jetta question.
From:Andrew Philbrick
Date:Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:14:52 -0600

Just wondering if anyone out there has experience with Mk IV Jetta brake
change.  My parents have a 2000 Jetta VR6 that needs new brakes soon.  The
rear calipers have to be turned while retracting with a special tool.
 Since I don't own the car, I was thinking about renting the tool.

My preferred online dealer for our Mk I Golf has the tool for $45 - (
http://www.germanautoparts.com/Tools/Volkswagen/Brake+tools)  The tool at
the top of the list here.

Our FLAPS has a "universal" tool for rental.  Rental is free but the store
cannot tell me if it works for the Jetta.  Link is as follows -

Just wanted to know if anyone has experience with the rental tool and can
tell me if it fits.

Thanks all,
Andrew
