A few days ago my 2001 Allroad handbrake went very loose. It pretty much pulls through to the final click with no tension, but will just about engage at the last click (leaving in gear everywhere of course too!).
Phoned my indy today assuming it would be a cable issue, but he confidently said it would be one of the calipers. Seemed confident it would need a new caliper, so wanted me to take in so they could identify which one. More than happy to get underneath and check all calipers, as have done all the brakes before and have the tool for winding pistons in and out ............ but what exactly am I looking for here?
Presume this won't just be binding pads, but the handbrake cable come off one corner completely? Anyone had this before and can walk me through what I'll most likely find?
Cheers
