He gave me the gti rear discs with it too. Very sure it was a phase 1 gti though. No colour coded strips.

You will also need a new handbrake cable definately
Not the end of the world either way

job done
#8: Re: Rear axle fitment. need advice quickly please :) Author: MartyParty, Location: Newcastle Upon TynePosted: Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:58 am ---- Sound. I'll get handbrake cable asap. If I don't have abs then what? Is their any way to check? With my reg?
#9: Re: Rear axle fitment. need advice quickly please :) Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Wed Apr 25, 2012 3:59 pm ---- If you dont have ABS then it wont matter, you wont need to connect it up. What was up with your axle? Do you know this one is any good?
#10: Re: Rear axle fitment. need advice quickly please :) Author: MartyParty, Location: Newcastle Upon TynePosted: Wed Apr 25, 2012 4:10 pm ---- Ah great. So it should fit either way? I dunno I bought the car then a serious knocking occurred. Took my Mechanic and.he said axle was shot to pieces. It seems pretty good. Not that I know what I'm looking for though. Included rear gti discs and hubs for me too. Got front hubs pads and discs - £70. Utter bargain. Discs and pads are in mint nick too.
#11: Re: Rear axle fitment. need advice quickly please :) Author: Seabook, Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2012 6:04 pm ---- tbh if you got the axle from a ph1 gti; unless it has been rebuild otherwise i am not surprise it will failed very soon
