Seats on B4 were comfy and quality, suspension was so so comfortable good balance between wallowy and firm. Ok not as good as newer models on corners but give ...

if you're referring to the end of front door pocket, by the locks, I think they are for umbrella with drain holes at the bottom.

Re: EPB MOTOR
The housing is plastic, Looking at the document on Martins site it appears that water gets in past the seals and this causes the mechanism to seize up and instead of transferring the torque to operate the brake mechanism it is concentrated on the plastic housing.

Re: EPB MOTOR
Appreciate the quick reply all. Thanks for the pic, from that it seems then, that the reason they crack is the sheer pressure, they tighten, on detecting a certain current drain or high back pressure on calipers they stop winding. So VW you have designed and used materials for the epb motor housing ...

Re: B4 TDi
MIne has the 1z in gl form, just an amazing solid car, not a spot of rust.
criticism, poor handling, under steers too. apart from that solid reliable and if you are really tight and cruise, you can get 77mpg honestly, and 55mpg in traffic.

Re: Looking to buy a B6 estate, any advice welcome
one of the sources of creaks is the lousy crispy cable wrap vw uses on cable looms mainly the small ones. the one behind the glove box is a culprit.
