you deserve a brake today there is no higher profit job for a muffler chain shop than a front brake job a brake job with disc brakes is faster and easier for the repair shop than a drum brake job but they charge extra for it do it yourself and save the brakes on a vw® have two parts a hydraulic system and the brake shoes and pads when you step on the brakes the pedal pushes a piston in the master cylinder this action compresses the fluid evenly to all four wheels where there is a cylinder caliper or wheel cylinder that moves the pad or shoes and causes the wheel to stop for safety this hydraulic system is dual the master cylinder is really two one pushes the right front and the left rear and the second pushes the left front and the right rear in case there is an interruption in one of the hydraulic systems there are still enough brakes to stop the car ordinarily maintenance consists of checking the fluid level and inspecting the wear of the brake shoes and pads from the `79 on the rear shoes are self-adjusting and the earlier models adjust like the beetle® a star that you turn to center the shoes closer to the drum you can do this yourself with just a screwdriver if your pedal starts feeling spongy now is the time to isolate and correct the problem don t drive with a situation that could deteriorate from bad to disastrous always bleed the brakes first this could be your whole problem bleeding the brakes is simply getting the air out of the hydraulic system check all the lines and hoses for leaks that eliminates everything except the master cylinder and the brake servo if your model has one read the manuals and analyze don t do half a job while you have things apart replace parts that look marginal so you don t have to do this job again another of those good
