I was wondering about this, too.....
My query was regarding setup of the handbrake?
On the mk1 you have to pump the pedal 30 times or so to set the piston BEFORE you pull the handbrake lever for the first time, otherwise the HB never works properly.......!
Is there any similar procedure with the Mk3..?
No Greg, the pistons actually have to rotate back in. If you try and compress with a G clamp, you'll do some damage. Fronts compress like this, but rears wind back in. You really need a windback tool.
