Re: Vented brakes

The front vented discs from an '84ish GTI/Scirocco are a direct swap
(along with pads to match - they have to be thinner), assuming you have
the same calipers. Sounds like your bleeder nipples are broken off - or do
you mean they're just not there at all? Pick up some calipers that have
bleeder nipples that work - they're important : )
