My pug failed mot and one of the problems was
'rear brake load sensing valve linkage defective'
I had no idea so asked the mot guy what it meant and he said there should be a spring outside the drum brake that had somehow gone missing on one side.
I've jacked up the car, looked on both drums and I can't see anything of the sort. Also looked on the service box but can't see any external springs (a lot on the inside).
Can't find anymore information on it, can anyone help me?
If it's any help it's because of this that my rear brakes were hardling doing anything.

Going to have to if I can't find one gonna have a really good look now. Done a bit of research and I think I know what they are. He said it's somehow popped off so I should get one from a scrappy or it could end up costing a lot for a new valve from pug. Doesn't sound like it's internal?

Yer I had a fail at this once, didnt have a clue what it was, tried searching for it, but in the end had to pay £300 for them to fit one to pass the MOT!
No doubt I did get bent over, but I couldnt find anything about it!
This was last years MOT! This year with my rear discs, no problem, so may only be on drums!

Ahhhh the joys of having EBD on your 206, no rear brake compensator valve to worry about

Bit of wd40 Ben and a bit of leverage
What's ebd mate?
I have a gti axle axle with abs, haven't looked if it's got one on. If so could it fit? Highly unlikely but worth a shot.

Electronic Brakeforce Distribution
The rear brake compensator valves are different between abs & non abs 206s!
