morgey Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Finally got around to booking my car in, been over it checked it out etc but I know it's going to fail just before japfest to cause me a mad rush! And even after refurbing my rear calipers, checking the cables etc my handbrake is still shocking to say the least. Couldn't feel it slow the car at all like they're just not trying to bite :/ might just go back to drums, at least they work on these cars! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Bloody things, at least I don't have abs to worry about, I plugged my airbag back in today, first time it's ever been connected was proper paranoid about it blowing up in my face! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Should be ok as he's only checking hand brake and cv boot I'll clear the codes and hope it stays off lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'm hoping they don't fail mine on handbrake cables. Cba with lying under the car ripping the exhaust off just to do them :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'm hoping they don't fail mine on handbrake cables. Cba with lying under the car ripping the exhaust off just to do them :/I replaced rear discs and pads and loosened the cables works a treat now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 New discs and pads. Checked cables were operating, adjusted cable to take up the slack and it's still barely working. nothing more I can do other than replace them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Well no real surprise my rear brakes failed miserably 13% with a 40% difference between sides. Had a word and should be able to wing it through if I have another go at them.Going to change bias valves. Oil handbrake cables and Rebleed the whole system. Again! Literally giving up on ep rear discs they are the shittest thing known to man!How can freshly rebuild calipers that work perfectly by hand not work? Brand new discs and pads. Fresh fluid, cables operate freely etc. There's no means for them not to work! Arrrrggggghhhhhhhh drilled to the max! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
