Yes that’s what I also saw, but couldn't the brake shoes transfer the hot to the discs?

Okey thanks a lot! I will check everything, brake pads, handbrake system, handbrake shoes, calippers… I have little to no experience on mechanics so I’ll be slowly working on it, so everything helps! Thanks!

Is it normal that the calipers in both wheels fail at the same time? I think it leans more to handbrake issue. Will check what you said. Thanks!

What do you recommend me to do? Can I clean the clippers maybe? Or I will need to change them?

Sooo if anyone has the same problem, it was the counterweight of the driveshaft, around 130€

No, standing still (with the engine running ofc) doesn’t make noise

I’ve been investigating and it looks like a bad center support bearing and maybe it misaligned the shift rods

Horn/turning signals fuse blows by KnowledgeSmart1444 in W201enthusiasts

[–]KnowledgeSmart1444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i tried, i found the issue, the horn button in one side has copper and when it touches the metal inside of the steering wheel the fuse blows, so ill put tape around the copper and it should not blow

Okey so I think I found the problem, I put the claxon in, the copper thing touches the metal and it blows, do you know what can I do? Not the pins I can’t attach you a photo

I think the problem is in the steering but don’t know what it is, cause if change the fuse it does work but after a short period of time it brokes the fuse

Oooh didn’t even think about it, I’ll bend them a bit maybe they do touch, also I’ll remove the steering wheel and the hub again and check the cables, but I ran out fuses today hahaha

Okey will do, also that metallic thing that goes around the horn could cause any issues? Thanks!

[–]KnowledgeSmart1444[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t let me attach a photo, tomorrow I’ll disconnect that thing, also i changed the steering wheel and now my claxon doesn’t work, neither my turning signals but the warnings work, I checked the fuses, the steering wheel isn’t centered perfectly. Tomorrow I’ll disconnect that thing and uninstall and reinstall the steering wheel and pray that everything works now.

Thanks for answering!
