Upgrading from drums to discs.

Post by mirceaculita »

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.

Brake cables, hydraulic lines all need to be changed. Hand brake part number is also mentioned in the list.

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

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.

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.
