How to adjust the handbrake of the Volkswagen Touran.

Model: Volkswagen Touran MK 1, 1T - Years 2003-2015
Part: Parking brake

We will briefly see the instructions that will allow us to adjust the handbrake of the Volkswagen Touran. First, let’s get inside the vehicle and start by removing the plastic cover of the center tunnel by unscrewing the rear screws located on its side; then we will remove the cover along with the armrest, thus gaining access to the handbrake cable adjusters, as shown in the video. At this point, we will pull the cable by tightening the adjuster nut; we will then check the proper functioning of the handbrake and finally reassemble the center tunnel.
