a few '6 beam questions - 306Dan - 29-04-2013
i've been given a '6 beam to fit to my 1.6 from a friend who's binned his '6 over the weekend.
My question is, he's removed the p valve how does this affect the handling?
i'd of thought that it'd make high speed/load corners intresting if brakes where needed but i may be mistaken
Any help would be appriciated, as im sure this has been asked many times but i cant find any using my ifail at work, cheers

Can't think what you mean by the P valve?
And I wouldn't fancy touching the brakes in high speed corners anyway!
RE: a few '6 beam questions - Niall - 29-04-2013
think you mean the brake bias valve? What phase is your 306?
RE: a few '6 beam questions - 306Dan - 29-04-2013
its a phase 2, and yes i mean the bias valve, too many names for it
RE: a few '6 beam questions - Niall - 29-04-2013
ok so yours ideally needs that bias valve. All the pipework will be identical to yours so id swap it over then. Alternatively, if your 1.6 beam is not cambered and in good nick, you could take the bars and arb out of the gti one and put them in your 1.4 beam. Less faff with having to swap the pipes and undo old brake unions.

OR what would be easiers is if you just take the whole O/S mount off with the bias valve still attached and put that on to your 6 beam and do a little pipe work swaping, easy peasy 1000x easier than trying to remove the bars

My 1.6 never came with a bias valve, the rear drums are so useless it proberbly doesn't need one

So you have no ABS then???
There for you are best off not having one, all non ABS models didnt come with a bias valve for a reason
