Parking brake cables and expanders have been modified to prevent the possibility of a stretched expander when pulling up the parking brake lever.
Note Only new version parts will be available after present stocks are used up.
The new parts must always be installed together (both parking brake cables and expander).
Parking brake cables
The guide for the expander on the new parking brake cable is increased in length by 3.0 mm to 55.0 mm.
Expander
New expanders are changed in design so that with the expander compressed to "gauge distance" of 54.5 mm, distance A is now at least 18.0 +/- 0.3 mm (instead of previous 16.3 +/- 0.3 mm).
Note Expander surfaces have different color paint for identification purposes:
New version = gold Part No. 911 352 090 00 Old version = white Part No. 901 352 090 10
