Fitting Remote servo anyone got advice please

[mk1quinny]

Hi im having fitted one remote servo to my car heres some pics of my bay its modified and smoothed and want to improve braking a bit as i use it more daily than it was intended

So i have mk2 master cylinder fitted on the drivers side
im having a remote servo put in passengers footwell i think but if cant get it to fit there going to have to go in my bay may have to move washer bottle or battery.

now it looks like im having the servo run off the front brake lines as they do most of the raking then have a bias valve fitted to even out the braking front and rear

has anyone fitted one or done anything different it says on the servo sites that with twin circuit brakes like mine you should run two remote servos but there just too bulky so im sending one back



hope someone has some suggestions oh and im not buying a pedal box system as i dont have the cash for one

rover sd1 3500 used to have remote servos have a look at one of those or there used to be a mod on mk1/2 polos that used remote servo but that was something that was done via an old dealer i worked for

why not just fit a 1.9tdi polo servo in the engine bay located same place as your master now... Its nice and small and cope well with twin lines.... I'm running it with brembo fronts and tt calipers rears.. Wilwood bias for each line to rear...

Hi willowraf,

which year of polo is that off, does it fit fine with the 1.8T fitted?

Mine was off a 2003 polo 1.9tdi... Also yes it does fit perfectly with a 1.8t fitted....

dont suppose you have a picture of it fitted, this sounds like a great solution

Two of these but God knows where you would hide them!

One other thing, I have just done twin 40’s on an 8v and had a sketch with the servo pick up, you will need an old servo line to pinch the valve from and some VW servo hose. I had Pirtek make me up a banjo union to bolt into the un-machined boss on the inlet manifold which I had drilled and tapped out by a local engineer. You will also need a suitable T or Y piece if you use two servo's.
