Handbrake adjustment on Fiat Grande Punto

Model: Fiat Punto 199, Punto EVO, Grandepunto , MK 3 - Years 2005-2018
Part: Hand brake

To adjust the handbrake of your car there are usually two bolts behind it, hidden by the protective plastic and with which you can set the hardness of the brake lever by unscrewing or screwing them. Even on our Fiat Punto, the situation is similar: remove the plastic around the handbrake and having the cup holder, by hand or with the help of a flat screwdriver. Already at this point you can see the 10 mm bolt that acts as an adjuster for the handbrake. Screw it in more or loosen it and try to test, pulling and releasing the handbrake, until you have found the ideal fit.

How to deactivate the safe lock on a Volkswagen Golf.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
