Hi All,
Its been a while but while lockdown is on i have been dedicating some time to ordering all the parts i need to give my old panda some TLC. i need to do the rear drum brakes. i drive a 2017 I20 now. when i got in the panda recently i realised how poor the brakes are. the front pads and disks where done only around 5k before i stopped driving it so they are good. i dont think the rear shoes have ever been done since new! i have a question regarding ABS. i know the car has it as i have felt it under braking and the light comes on the dash when the key is turned. however i cant see an ABS wire going to the rear. i read that pandas had ABS since september 2005 mine was registered 27th sept 2005 but could have been produced in the factory and in stock for months before that? do cars have to have ABS on all 4 wheels or are there some with ABS only on the front? there are 2 thin looking pipes one is hard (brake pipe) one is soft and flexible but looks like a pipe and not wire. then there is the thick cable for the handbrake cable. can anyone pls confirm as there are ABS and non ABS cylinders showing available
Thanks in advance all!
