I am going to upgrade from drums to discs in the near future and was wondering if the brake lines need changing or the original ones are long enough.
Also I know I need to change the handbrake, but I don't know the part number for the new one.

Re: Upgrading from drums to discs.
Brake cables, hydraulic lines all need to be changed. Hand brake part number is also mentioned in the list.mirceaculita wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 3:58 pm I am going to upgrade from drums to discs in the near future and was wondering if the brake lines need changing or the original ones are long enough.

I recommend you to read the CNK thread, you'll get all the information shared by firegrafik, CNK and iichel.

Re: Upgrading from drums to discs.
And I saw there is some coding necessary, but I didn't really understand it.
What should byte 2 and 10 be changed to?
Currently they are both 24 on my car.

Re: Upgrading from drums to discs.
I will come back with the complete answer in a few hours since I don't have a VCDS cable myself and have to go to my friend to use it.
The only thing I know is that it's an ESP8.2i module. I'm not sure if this is the type that you mentioned.
