 |
|
Dear friends,
It has been repaired brake system 6 years ago in my VW 1302 . But there is no any brake issue so far. Only brake liners were replaced . It is a daily driven car. Therefore should I service the brake system as preventive maintenance ? What parts should be replaced in the brake system if I am doing brake service job ?
please give your comments regarding that.
Thanks & regards |

Adjust the shoes as required. When you see the linings getting thin through the peek holes, change the shoes.

Change the brake fluid once a year (biyearly al least). |

Based on my experience, the flex hose's should be changed maybe every 5-10 years. My Ford trucks usually last 3-5 years mainly due to low quality replacement parts.
