I got mixed up on the frt/rear thing, but I've had to replace the guide pin=
s on a VW Corrado VR6, a Passat VR6, and also my S6. They are interchangea=
ble with each other. I would guess that only the older, German produced VW=
's would share the same pins (& calipers?). A funny story about my Passat'=
s right rear pin seizing: I had the car for sale and had a potential buyer=
riding shotgun with me when a guy one lane over starts honking and yelling=
. I rolled down the passenger window only to hear some redneck laughing hi=
s ass off and pointing to my smoking, bright red right rear caliper. He to=
ld us that the Brakes was on Far! Then said something about them damn furri=
n pieces of crap. Yeah, thanks buddy. I can't imagine why, but the potent=
ial buyer decided to pass on the car. Go figure.
Later,
Chad Hall
