Update on Passat brake problems

Today, I called the AA breakdown recovery service, which efficiently towed me to my local VW garage, E & S Swifts of Carlton.

Here the problem was rectified and my vehicle is now 100% OK.

External corrosion had eroded the aluminium banjo seal on my rear nearside brake unit; this has probably been caused by rock salt corrosion.

I do wish that the UK used urea, like the French and Belgium authorities to de-ice roads.

Urea does not corrode metals.
