You may notice that the Volkswagen Cabrio brake pedal has a slight pulsation up and down when lightly braking. If this is happening the Volkswagen Cabrio rear brake drums are warped and in need of replacement. The cost of new Volkswagen Cabrio brake drums in most cases will be less than the cost of having the drums turned, so don’t take the chance of overheating and warping the Volkswagen Cabrio drums, purchase new brake drums when doing a brake job. We also recommend replacing the drums in pairs so the Volkswagen Cabrio does not pull under severe braking conditions.
Dot 3 and Dot 4 Brake fluids are recommended by most vehicle manufacturers and are a glycol based fluid that has similar characteristics to antifreeze. The Dot 5 Brake fluid is a silicone based fluid that is not compatible with many OE brake systems. You need to make sure you refer to the Volkswagen manufacturer’s recommendations when adding or flushing brake fluid. Today’s Volkswagen's have very complex brake systems and most on the road today have ABS systems that are very sensitive to the types of fluid used in the Cabrio braking system. Adding the incorrect type of fluid could cost you thousands in Volkswagen Cabrio brake system repairs.

When replacing the Volkswagen Cabrio brake shoes be sure to check the hardware and the wheel cylinders for damage or leakage. This is also a good time to check the brake drums for scoring or unusual wear. The Volkswagen Cabrio brake shoes come in a primary and a secondary shoe that needs to be replaced in the exact location that they were removed from.
Leaking Volkswagen Cabrio wheel cylinders are the number one cause of brake system failures on Volkswagen's equipped with rear drum brakes. The o-rings on the Volkswagen Cabrio wheel cylinder pistons wear out over time and let the brake fluid seep thru to the outside of the cylinder. The wheel cylinder boot usually traps a small amount of fluid before it contaminates the entire rear brake assembly.
