I'll check the lips on the cylinders. I have replaced one so possible that I got them wrong way round. I sure I remember one being wrong way round Thanks for all the ideas guys. If not she's booked in on friday but I have to go to gatwick tomorrow

Not sure every time I have taken drum off (quite tricky) the wedge had moved down quite far. But once I moved the wedge back up the shoes retracted and all becomes free for a few mins worth of driving. It even happens when I reset the shoes and don't use handbrake

Right even after resetting shoes and not using handbrake shoes are still sticking/not fully returning. Think I'm going to remove the auto adjusters and see what happens

Only other thing i can think of after handbrake cables is the return springs or the assembly :S :think:

I'll have a go with cable but from compensator all looks ok.

Hi there I have just replaced my rear drums and one of the wheel cylinders plus bleeding but still my rear passenger side drum seems to be sticking. Drum gets very hot and sometimes smokes. When all was reassembled the wheel ran freely I. After applying handbrake it seems to stick. Even though it didn't when in the air on a quick lift drop of handbrake. Any suggestions i haven't replaced drums, and didn't get a new fitting kit. Think maybe a should of got the fitting kit. The car is a 53 Plate 1.9tdi 90hp

To fit on a 312,000 mile diesel lol

Ok I'll give it a try. The fluid came out between the cylinder and rubber. Have an eziibleed kit on its way too as did front brakes the other day. Although pedal was fine after a small trip.

how much difference does it make to the car? Are you available Thursday for collection

Just taken my drums off to replace shoes and my friend touched the brake pedal after shoes were off I got a covering of brake fluid. Can anyone tell me how to replace the Wheel Cylinder. Never done one before but am quite competent . Many thanks

How does it foul bonnet? and where abouts are you. im located in folkestone. Would it fit a Mk1 facelift 1.9tdi

I have seen this on eBay and would like it for my octavia please!

Ordered all parts now and fits like a glove. Needed extended bolt between mount and armrest compared to Golf Part Numbers Cover 1U0 864 280 47h End Cap 1U0 864 279 47H Mount 1U0 864 273 C

I just like the effect blue lights blue car etc

Just fitted the Audi TT Pedal Covers that i got from Awesome and they are great Now just waiting for the foot rest plate to come and also got some ring drl's to fit

Yh it has a few chips on it lol and never been that good with sub installs. Got a mk4 golf interior to fit in a couple of weeks to as the drivers seat is a bit worn lol. Will update once I get round to a full valet

Finally Uploading some pics Of my 1.9 Tdi In Admiral Blue Original Headlight Protectors Steering Wheel Cover, After market gear knob and shaft collar MK4 Golf Armrest and fitted matts MK4 Golf Areo Wiper Arms Just a few miles on her Interior blue leds do have rears but not yet connected 1500 Watt Renegade Amp 1200 watt 12in Sub and 1 Farad Cap

Thank god i did lol can you imagine. Can get foot rests cheap from the bay

They just lever off. I replaced my originals with blue ripspeed pedals but they are too close together and you cant get foot to rest-plate without hitting clutch lol

Also what kind of brake upgrade not that this MONSTER can reach incredible speeds lol 115mph.

Would vrs springs/shocks fit like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-OCTAVIA-AJUSTABLE-LOWERING-SPRING-KIT-FRONT-SHOCKERS-VW-GOLF-/270966452017

Yh am looking to do the suspension as after that mileage I'm guessing it maybe a little worn lol

Currently bidding on a mk4 Golf 5 door interior as drivers seat a little worn at 310,000 miles lol although egr looks pretty clean

Hi, I have seen plenty of threads regarding the vrs but wondered if there are any recommendations on mods for the Tdi's. Currently have a couple of interior mods being rear interior lights, golf mk4 arm rest, Golf mk4 aero wipers, dual rear fog light, upgraded headlight bulbs and number plate bulbs, aftermarket gear knob with collar. Blue fitted car mats and just ordered my Audi TT pedal covers. Any ideas would be appreciated if anyone needs to know it is a Tdi 90. The runt of the litter lol but I love it
