Replacing handbrake cable plastic guides for my C5 X7

[@ScottKHardy]

Just noticed mine are damaged yesterday. Thanks for the heads up so I know what to order and change.

Hi I've got exactly the same problem and I'm gonna change them. The black câble guide behind is also broken on my c5. Next work after this is to replacé control Arm brushing. Thanks for your video. Congratulations from France!

Thanks for posting the part numbers. I have electronic park brake error messages on my car and the handbrake only engages when the engine is turned off. I noticed one of these parts is broken so I ordered a new pair. Let's see if that clears the error messages.

I had problem like yours. Only automatic hand brake was available, did not work with the switch. Problem was wiring somewhere above the fuel tank. I have routed new wire to bypass that broken wire area and switch started to work again. Diagnostic showed electrical problem of the switch but it was good.

Hello, Do you use the diagbox to release and to re-calibrate the handbreak cable? When I changed the brakes pads I took the opportunity to change these plastics and used the diagbox and it was 5*

Hi. No, I did not use diagbox to calibrate the handbrake, because it is not necessary, otherwise it would be impossible to change brake pads or those plastic guides in a regular mechanic shop, which is not equipment with this ssecific tool. Car does the calibration by itself, it readjusts the tension all the time in order to compensate the brake pads wear. Calibration is done only when replacing all handrake unit.

Yes, and you can see diagbox says that calibration is only needed when whole parking brake unit or cables is replaced.

@@rustoil Thank you very much for this, the internet says you have to do this after a brake job and I was getting a little bit worried because I don't have the tool. Now I know I don't need the tool to recalibrate.
