Video tutorial

In this video we can see what to do if we can no longer adjust the handbrake of our Audi A4 B7: it may happen that the mechanism inside has worn out, or has become stuck, and it is no longer possible to unlock it, even by removing the entire block from the central tunnel, as the youtuber did, who then tried to unlock it with a self-made tool, although he admitted he could have done it with a normal screwdriver.

The solution was therefore to purchase the mechanism on an online platform; however, we were able to find a purchasing indication, related to the complete package, including the handbrake lever: on ovoko.

It at the code 8E0711777A for only 7.00 euros + 17.99 euros for delivery.
