The drum size (at least on steel brakes) is 210mm so when you are buying the brake shoes please take this into consideration. For example on Panamera 971 the size is 180mm and they WON´T fit.
I just replaced the shoes and it was ok when the thickness was restored on the shoes with new friction material. Nothing else was needed than the 30EUR pair of brake shoes to repair this issue in my case.
I think eventually with enough rusting going on between the friction material and the brake shoe itself the structure gave up when the e-brake shoes got stuck due to minus degrees and moisture on the drum. That was the last straw and ripped the friction material off from the rusted shoe.
Where did you find the video? I only find a video from YouTube where he CUTS open the housing beyond repair. There are now also lenses available separately from company called vroomer in Europe www.vroomer.pl.
I am repairing my headlamp low beams with new LED modules but I need to figure out...
In Europe I was quoted IIRC around 1300EUR to replace just the front window regulators. Bought them as spares from Germany and got them installed in a regular auto shop. Total around 600EUR
Yes, everything was smooth and nothing was stuck. Just bad quality parts and harsh weather conditions combined. I also had my front window lifter wires rusted away at 3 years old.
I started getting an error message for the E-brake on the dashboard. It suggested calibration but it did not work out so I decided to open the brakes to see what's going on.
This is what I found. One of the brake shoes had lost its friction material almost completely. I expect it had separated...
Got the same error couple of days ago after heavy rain. I would also like to know if anyone had this problem and if it was the ballast (control unit) or the headlamp itself that needs to be replaced?
