Renault, Citroen, Peugeot - Poor braking with the driving brake | HELLA

If one of the errors listed above occurs on these vehicle models, the cause may stem from a vertically mounted safety clip on the brake shoe.(Fig.1)

The lower brake shoe spring presses on the safety clip, thereby preventing the adjusting element from moving. In addition, this can result in slippage during adjusting, leading to damage to the gear teeth. In this case, the position of the safety clip has to be corrected.

Positioning the safety clip horizontally (Fig. 2) ensures free movement of the brake shoe spring and thus unimpaired functionality of the adjusting device.
