Hi guys
Iv got a problem on my a3 8p, the handbrake isn't holding the car. I fit new cables a couple of months ago because one snapped, it was fine up until this weekend. the handbrake itself seems ok, there's resistance when I pull it up and it "stops" in the same place it used too. I checked the adjustment screw under the centre console and its flush up to the metal t-piece with the handbrake down... But it isn't holding the car? I noticed the pads were close to the limit so I swopped them out on Friday but it didn't make a difference. Any ideas, anything else I can check? I'm guessing its a case of swopping the callipers but I want to be sure before I get the wallet out.
