I can’t get rid of the problems on my 88 jetta
The parking brake sticks when it’s cold. I imagine that there’s water in
the cables or something. This problem never happens in the summer.
I’ve resorted to not using the p-brake, but I know it helps set the rear
brakes and all.
Is there a fix to this? I’d imagine I need to replace one/both p-brake
cables (all the way to interior?), replace the springs on the caliper, or
replace the calipers (hope not that last one…).
If you have suggestions, please respond.
Oh, by the way, those Pirelli P6 tires ain’t so good in da snow… 8
inches last night, got stuck on the way home. AAA all the way…:-)
