#12: Re: help asap please video of it now up Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Fri May 25, 2012 4:51 pm ---- That is the rear brake compensator and I had the exact same thing recently.
If it's so loose to the point it's rattling when you press the brake pedal, that means your rear brakes
are hardly working at all because not enough pressure is getting to them by the hydraulics.
You'll find the car doesn't 'dive' so much at the front whilist braking when you sort it properly.
Make sure the spring is just tight-enough (by adjusting the collet screw holding the pin), so it's not rattling.
Do not stretch (tense) the spring at all because that would make the rear wheels skid really easily, esp. if there is no weight (people) at the rear of the car when hard-braking.
It might be worth trying-out a few times to get it just-right OR take it to a garage to have it set for 75% front 25% back ratio as recomended by the manufacturer. It is a safety issue after all, and is absolutely checked by the MOT.

always learn something new.
i never know you can adjust the compensator, always think they are self adjusted.

I havent got a compensator
Mines part of the ABS unit
As for adjusting the compensator, you really need to follow the correct Peugeot setting procedure & that means using special equipment.
