HELP!!!!! Disc Retaining Screw....

My disc retaining screw is missing, and i dont know what to do

I dont feel safe driving it without as its obviously a very important part of the brakes.

Help me please [:^(]

 

it only keeps the disc in line im pretty sure you dont need it.

 

the wheel bolts keep the disc in place as well so you should be ok

 

Are you positive, surely it must take some of the braking load

 

no it does f uck all excpet hold the disc in line with teh hub bolt holes when you take the tyre off.

Mine are all jammed in the hole with the head ripped off.

Youll be fine

 

Nah my mate had to grind his awat so his 17's would fit properly. It does'nt take any of the load. Why you worried anyway?? I thought you were hardcore

 

You are beyond help.

 

I'm still not sure, gonna get it picked up and trailored to the VW garage to get them to look at, jus to be safe [:^(]

 

Mine doesn't have one either.

 

Best get it seen to asap, you dont wanna chance it with brakes!!!

 

Actually, thinking about it, you are right. I'm so irresponsible about these things.
I suspect they do hold some of the braking force.

Hate to think what'd happen if I lose the front brakes coming back from the pub... [:^(]

 

I know, i had to do a handbrake turn to get stopped int he pub car park the other night - was quite tricky, as i could hardly see straight after the previous pub

 

youve got to be taking the p!ss, trailerd to the vw garage.

 

Not when you consider the consequences if the brake disc span with the wheel.

 

I KNOW!!!

This is my worry, i dont wanna end up in the grocery section of safeways if they fail while racin in the carpark

 

r u joking how could this screw take a load from a car breaking

if u ever tried to put a wheel on without it in the disk turns and can be pain in the ass but serves only retaining purposes

 

It takes nearly all of the braking load if you are cornering at the time, that's why they are made from unobtanium instead of just mild steel. You could drive it to the dealer, but only brake when you're going in a straight line.

 

Double sided tape should be more than ample to secure the disc.

f**k off
