Title: 2002 Caddy servo fit?
Post by: Bellend on 13 January 2011, 23:01
Any ideas?

Seen one in a scrappy, won't have any time at all until Wednesday to look but my brakes are awful. I've put it down to having an old car and an old servo. Caddy brakes are very sharp.

All looks similar set up, any ideas if it would fit?

Want/need a bigger set up, the amount of times I've thought I wouldn't stop.  :rolleyes:

As I drive so many new cars, I'm really not used to the old servos and the effort it needs. I will be putting a new set of pads in at some point, they were sat for a year. Brand new tho.

before you go to all the expense and time to change the servo have the brake fluid changed and check

 that the discs are not near the minimum thickness as this does affect the feel and power even if the

 pads are new/nearly new also look at the flexy rubber hoses for buldges or other damage as if pushing

out sideways the fluid is not pushing the pistons onto the discs ; change them for braided hoses it really

does help   :cool:
