Car: 1991 Polo G40 (Supercharged 1.3)
Just bought this car recently, plan to have a look at the brakes over the weekend as there is a lot of travel on the brake pedal before anything happens. Brakes seem reasonable (but not great) at that point. They *are* servo assisted on this model unlike many polos.
I suspect the auto-adjusters on the rear drums have siezed. It appears to have last had the shoes replaced about 3 years / 30,000 miles ago according to the service history. Front discs and pads replaced last year.
I plan to replace the rear shoes and free up the auto-adjusters, however has anyone got any other suggestions for likely causes for excessive pedal travel?
Many thanks,
Alan.
