Brake System Compatibility:

This brake shoe set is intended for vehicles equipped with the applicable:

Brake System: ATE
Brake Drum Inner Diameter: 180mm
Brake Shoe Width: 31mm
Brake Shoe Thickness: 5mm

Some of the Volkswagen models listed above were manufactured with more than one brake system or brake drum size.

For this reason, vehicle model and year alone should not be used as the only method of determining compatibility.

Fitment Verification:

Before ordering, please confirm:

• Vehicle model
• Model year
• Chassis / platform code
• Fitted brake system
• Brake drum inner diameter
• Existing brake shoe dimensions
• VIN number where required

The vehicle should have an ATE-compatible 180mm rear drum brake system using the corresponding 31mm wide brake shoes.

Installation:

Brake shoe replacement should be carried out by a suitably qualified automotive technician.

When replacing rear brake shoes, the complete drum braking system should be inspected, including:

• Brake drums
• Wheel cylinders
• Brake shoe springs
• Retaining hardware
• Brake adjusters
• Handbrake / parking brake mechanism
• Brake hoses and pipes
• Brake fluid condition

The internal braking surface of the drum should be inspected for excessive wear, scoring, heat damage, cracking and an internal diameter exceeding the manufacturer's allowable limit.

Worn or leaking wheel cylinders and damaged brake hardware should be replaced before the vehicle is returned to service.

Important Notes:

ATE Brake System: Designed for applicable vehicles using an ATE drum braking system.

180mm Drum Diameter: The required brake drum inner diameter is 180mm.

31mm Shoe Width: Confirm that the existing brake shoes use the required 31mm width.

Multiple Brake Systems: Some Volkswagen models within the listed production ranges may have been fitted with alternative brake systems or different drum sizes.

Fitment Verification Required: Always confirm the brake system and dimensions before ordering.

VIN Verification Recommended: Where there is uncertainty regarding the fitted braking system, provide the vehicle VIN for fitment verification.

Safety-Critical Component: Brake components should be installed and inspected by a suitably qualified technician.
