Hi,
I encountered with a problem with installing rear HEL brake lines for my 6n2 GTI (rear disks).
Do you have some photos / guide?
Thank you!

Re: HEL brake lines installation
What problems are you having?
Re: HEL brake lines installation
It seems like it just won't fit.
The original hoses are: short rubber hose -> connected to a metal hose.
I got 6 brake lines in HEL's kit:
2 for the front.
4 for the back.
I'm looking for a guide how to connect the back hoses.

Re: HEL brake lines installation
yes the originals are a rigid brake line crimped to a rubber hose. That bit you cant remove
Im guessing the rears two of the hoses join together?

I guess you are right but I'm not sure.
Tried to look for some pictures of such installation but couldn't find any.

do you know which of these are which?
Re: HEL brake lines installation
Got no clue.
This is the problematic area. I can't understand how I need to connect the lines.

Re: HEL brake lines installation
Thats a good question
I dont myself know the answer to that
Have a word with the guys at kam racing - they do HEL and have done for many years. They might be able to provide some guidance

Well, I understood the situation.
The set does not fit to my polo.
I had to manufacture another hose (it replaces the metal hose+rubber).
