    well if its the cables then you can order new from audi tradition.
    Order in audi tradition it´s more difficult than adjust my rs2 handbrake

      I would of thought there adjustable inside the drum there’s usually a tooth gear that you push clockwise or anti-clockwise to tighten or loosen the brake pad shoes. There seen through one of wheel bolt holes you use a thin long screwdriver to turn the gear but I could be wrong that’s how I did mine on a bmw

            Yes there is the drum mechanism but again after a couple of gas tank fill ups ie 1000kms or so it comes loose again
