been having problems with my brakes for the mot, i'm changing the compensator but talking to people they say this should not affect the handbrake. it does not need adjustment on the cable, i have been told that some cars with discs have a hub inside that works the handbrake, is this the same on a gti 6 or does it work on the discs?

gti6 have just the handbrake on the brake caliper, no drums.

Discs with a hub inside are generally your RWD continental colleagues - the likes of BMW.

GTi6, as above, is built into the caliper.

not entirely true, Toyota's have them on FWD vehicles, as does the 406.
