Looking for some advice/knowledge on a handbrake issue, please.
2012 SEAT Altea.
Fitted a NEW NSR calliper (MOT advisory/binding). The OSR rear was new just over a year ago.
Fitted new handbrake cables; checked/same length; ensured seated/fitted correctly and then tensioned so caliper levers sit 2-3mm off the stops.
Fluid changed/bled to both rear calipers. Pads/discs equal wear on both sides.
With my foot hard on the brake pedal, I pulled the handbrake lever multiple times to as I understand reset the handbrake mechanism.
However, pulling/applying the handbrake, it comes up way past where expected before it will hold the car, almost 8-9+ clicks.
Looking at the cable compensator, its clear the NSR caliper handbrake lever is travelling further than the OSR???
Any ideas what’s going on??
Many thanks,
