just looking at that birds nest of colours makes me feel ill....
fair play on hearing her run, love the vr6 sound...
wonder how one would sound under the bonnet of the sceptre sometimes...

it should sound better once all the squicks and leaks are sorted ,, and all ull hear is a turbo whistle ,dumpvalve /nice induction roar ,, and a humble side pipe sound ,,all in one ,,lol

are you running the original servo and MC? Caddy's and Mk1's are renowned for their vagueness in terms of pedal feel; I'm going to run a big B3 get passat servo and 22mm t4 transporter 4 outlet m/c; and alternative to the late mk2 GTI servo and m/c (comes with 4 outlets from GSF)....

The standard master cylinder and servo will not cope with the bigger brakes you've fitted.
