How is the handbrake of the Volkswagen New Beetle adjusted?

Model: Volkswagen New Beetle MK 2, 9C - Years 1999-2012
Part: Parking brake

In this video tutorial, we will look at the work necessary to replace the handbrake of the Volkswagen New Beetle. This helps to better understand how the cable operated by the handbrake lever is constructed, focusing on the adjustment phase. After installing it, it is important to check that the tension is perfect; otherwise, there is a risk that the effectiveness of the parking brake will be compromised when it is engaged. At the back of the lever, we find a nut specifically installed for adjustment; by tightening or loosening it, the tension can be increased or decreased.
