When working on vehicles with start/stop system, please observe
the following instructions:

CAUTION
Risk of injury as a result of automatic engine start in vehicles
with start/stop system.
♦ In vehicles with the start/stop system activated (identifiable
by an indication in the dash panel insert) the engine can start
automatically if required.
♦ Make sure that the start-stop system is deactivated when
carrying out work on the vehicle (switch ignition off, if nec‐
essary switch ignition on again).

Vehicles fitted with ABS do not have a mechanical brake pressure
regulator. Specifically matched software in the ABS control unit -
J104- regulates the brake pressure distribution on the rear axle.

Note

♦ If the ABS hydraulic unit - N55- is damaged, the ABS control

unit - J104- and the ABS hydraulic unit - N55- must be fully
replaced.
♦ The ABS control unit - J104- can be separated from the ABS
hydraulic unit - N55-

♦ Faults in the ABS do not influence the brake system and servo
assistance. The conventional braking system remains fully
functional even without ABS. There will be a change in braking
behaviour. After the ABS warning lamp comes on, the rear
wheels may lock prematurely during braking.

Note

♦ Observe the instructions for changing the pad

⇒ “1.2.1 Changing the brake pads of the front brake - Mounting
instructions”, page 36 .
♦ The adherend for the brake pads must be free from glue res‐
idues and grease.
♦ Drain the brake fluid from the brake fluid reservoir using a
ventilation bottle before resetting the piston. Otherwise, par‐
ticularly if reservoir has been topped up, fluid will overflow and
cause damage.
♦ When resetting the piston with a piston resetting device the
automatic reset in the brake caliper is destroyed.

CAUTION
Brake fluid is toxic and must never be sucked up by mouth!

♦ The automatic adjuster has a very fine mechanism.
with respect to the correctness of information in this document. Copyright by ŠKODA AUTO A. S.

♦ Avoid shaking and deformations.

♦ Do not adjust the gear.
♦ Damage affects the function of the automatic adjuster and the
brakes. Any kind of denting or cuts can significantly affect the
operation of the automatic adjuster, resulting in a shorter life.

68 Rep. gr.46 - Brakes - mechanism

 Scala 2019 ➤
Brake systems - Edition 01.2019

For optimal braking, the automatic adjuster must be temporarily

set. The automatic adjuster can be installed without any force
needed and must be able to turn freely.
The “rough insertion” is done by turning the blue coloured part of
the adjuster in -the direction of arrow A-.
The “fine tuning” is done by pressing the adjuster in
-the direction of Arrow B-.

Note

♦ Make a manual adjustment of the auto adjuster to pull the

brake shoes apart to the desired diameter.
♦ If the brake shoes are not pulled apart sufficiently, it is possible
that the return spring is too tight at the top. The functionality of
the automatic adjustment is therefore not ensured.
♦ If the automatic adjuster is not adjusted or not fully adjusted,
the brake shoes may be prematurely damaged and the auto‐
matic adjuster may fall down inside the brake drum or be
seriously damaged.

4.5.1 General points

The following instructions are intended to help you find the causes
of problems effectively and objectively in the event of complaints
about the brake servo or in the event of a so-called »hard brake
pedal«.
This check relates to the following components:
♦ Brake servo
♦ Oil seal between brake master cylinder and brake servo.
♦ Non-return valve
♦ Vacuum hoses with connectors

The measuring results will be influenced by the geographical lo‐

cation. The higher the location is above sea level, the lower the
air pressure will be.
Take note of the following test requirements:
♦ Visual inspection of all vacuum hoses for damage (e.g. cracks
or marten bite) and to check that they are correctly and firmly
attached
♦ Ensure cleanliness when working on vacuum system.
♦ Before starting work, clean engine compartment if necessary.

Note

♦ The average air pressure of the earth's atmosphere at sea

level is 1013 mbar and decreases steeply as the altitude in‐
creases (approx. 100 mbar/1,000 m altitude). Local and time
fluctuations also influence vacuum generation.
♦ A cold engine, a switched-on air-conditioning system as well
as engine idling have an adverse influence on generation of a
vacuum.

– Before starting work, check all vacuum hoses for damage (e.g.
cracks or marten bite) and to check that they are correctly and
firmly attached

6.1 General notes on brake fluid

♦ The brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it retains humidity from the
ambient air, and must therefore always be stored in airtight
containers.
♦ Brake fluid must never come into contact with fluids containing
mineral oils (oil, petrol, cleaning agent). Mineral oils damage
the plugs and boots of the brake system.
♦ Drained (used) brake fluid must never be used again.
♦ The brake fluid is toxic, avoid skin contact.
♦ Because of its caustic effect, the brake fluid must not come
into contact with paint.
♦ Rinse off spilled brake fluid using plenty of water.
♦ Dispose of brake fluid in compliance with the applicable waste
disposal and environmental regulations.
♦ Only use new brake fluid in accordance with the specification
⇒ “3.1.4 Brake fluid”, page 5 .

6.2 Prebleeding the hydraulic system

Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Brake filling and bleeding device , e. g. - VAS 5234-
♦ Brake fluid

Note

For vehicles with EDL/TCS, or with EDL/TCS/ESC, if one cham‐

ber of the brake fluid return tank has run dry e.g. due to a leak,
the system must be bled first.
