Continental aims to simplify repair of electric parking brakes for workshops

The technology company Continental is expanding its product range for repairs of electric parking brakes in the independent aftermarket. Starting now, workshops and dealers can order both motors and preassembled caliper-motor units as original ATE parts.

“Our aim is to offer the aftermarket as many spare parts as possible in OE quality,” says Peter Wagner, head of OE & Aftermarket Services at Continental. “Independent workshops can now benefit from our OE expertise when repairing electronically controlled parking brake systems.” Workshops can obtain products for numerous high-volume models made by VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat, including VW Golf VII Arteon, Audi A3, Skoda Superb and Seat Leon. Continental says will also offer spare parts for electric parking brakes in the vehicles of many other European manufacturers.
