1xshaunx1 27 Posted June 28, 2020 Are the rear abs sensors 1130mm or 1285mm long. Looking to change my stubs and get it all ready first but there seems to be 2 lengths available. Any ideas anyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 43 Posted June 28, 2020 Sorry I dont know what length I have, but they seem too long and I have excess cabling from them under the seat. My guess is that they will both fit. Someone will put up the definitive answer soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking it would be the shorter ones and the longer ones for Passat, Vento etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1xshaunx1 27 Posted July 19, 2020 Finally got around to finishing my rear brake renew and upgrade. carriers callipers discs bearings pads and now handbrake cables. decided to use the TWR ones. Febi ones were very similar, same ends but a metal part where it slides into the tubes before going into the body TRW GCH1656 £50 delivered for the pair, as you require two of the same part Febi 14274 £20 delivered for the pair. To be honest I just wanted to compare the two brands and see if they were both the correct length. The both seemed pretty much the same as the original one that came off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine were about 1620-1640mm. Both the same, it has to be balanced with the same length of cable from the end stop, or the pull mech gets really unbalance. That’s why it’s best to do both cables at the same time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Are the cables the same for all cars? Would these febi ones be fine for a 94 vr? Would you mind suggesting where you got yours from Shaun? Many thanks. Hasan Edited July 26, 2020 by fla Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1xshaunx1 27 Posted July 26, 2020 Both off of EBay Hasan. just put the make and part number I gave above in the EBay search and away you go. All VRs had the same rear brakes so should fit yours unless you have a different after market set up. 1 hour ago, fla said: Are the cables the same for all cars?

Can I also add that you don’t have to take the seats out to do this. The centre tunnel comes out fairly easy if you lift the hand brake up enough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1xshaunx1 27 Posted August 9, 2020 Fitted the rest for of my beige tunnel, handbrake cover and new cup cup holder. The cup holder was off eBay at about £30, pricey but slightly better than the last one as it’s a little bigger and can get a can of coke in it, looks a bit more oem too.

1xshaunx1 27 Posted August 9, 2020 Decided to have a go at replacing my grotty looking wiper motor and bracket and tidy the whole area up by at long last having a go at fitting my spoonfed windscreen trim and wiper cover. Bit of a faf about but looks amazing when in place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) wow that looks brilliant! The steering wheel is amazing too - how did you fit it and get the indicator cutout and horn to work? I've got a golf 6 one which fits on the spline but i'm stuck after that... Thanks Hasan Edited August 9, 2020 by fla Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Hasan You need the plastic base out of a Corrado with the wire from r the horn still attached, reinforce the wire with tape or similar. Then drill a hole in the wheel housing to take this wire, be accurate as it will decide wether your canceller is in the right spot or not. Make the hole big enough and you are laughing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
