Proportioning Valve & Fan Belts

Post by Devils »

Hi, I just took my car for a wof, and they told me that my rear brakes have an uneven pressures which is due to the proportioning valve being filled with crap, I went down the road to my mechanic and he said given the age of the car (it's a 1993) it'll probably be easier to get another one rather than try to clear out the 1 on it, said it could cost between $50-$85 depending on how much the wreckers want to charge, I'm just wondering if anyone knows which newer model Mitsis share the same proportioning valve as a 1993 FTO GR

Second question, the wof place said my fanbelts were due for replacing, I was thinking about getting some from Supercheap, does anyone know which ones I need to get?

Cheers

Something sounds fishy, uneven brake pressures in the REAR, how would they even notice?

They go on rollers that measure the braking force

That's probably why there are so many heaps of sh*t on your roads.
