VW brakes - Andrew Bairsto
Some time ago somebody was complaining about Passat noisy brakes and they could not find the cause.
Reading this weeks auto bild(Germany)it transpires that this noise is faulty track rod ends and there is an urgent recall off all models in or after 1998

Thanks Andrew, I'll include this in the car by car breakdown. The other problem was water drowning the brakes due to lack of sufficient backplate. There is a mod, but cooling of the brakes is not so good when it is fitted.
