MODELS 129, 140, 163, 202, 203, 208, 209, 210, 211, 215, 220, 230, 240 

Modified pedal assembly 

Phased in as of approx. 09/2002 a modified design of parking brake pedal systems (1) have been fitted.

The new version of the pedal assembly (1) has a pulled notch (2a) instead of a pushed notch (2b) as previously.

This results in different values for the adjustment of the parking brake.

On account of the successive production launch and the possibility that in the case of repair, that old replaces new or new replaces old, on each  vehicle, the version of the pedal assembly (1) is determined before the parking brake is adjusted.
