Hi, I need some new rear brake drums for my Syncro
Can you still get them new ??
And where from ??
Are they the same as any other VW model ??
Thanks
No they are larger than the 2WD Golf rear brake drums.
By the time you have replaced the drums & shoes & springs etc you may just have well have converted the rear to disc brakes, it would probably be cheaper as well!

ETKA says only used on Jetta/Golf Syncros
Part Number is: 191609617A
Might not be very available at UK autofactors, annoyingly.
The linings are used in Passats though, so more likely to be available.
Sorry if that’s a bit cold comfort!
Just to let you all know that I got a pair of brand new drums and shoes for my Syncro from CES Car Parts
