How to Adjust the Handbrake on the Volkswagen Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Parking brake

To adjust the handbrake on the Volkswagen Polo, loosen the screws that secure the centre tunnel trim panel so that it can be completely removed. After removal, you will have access to the components located underneath. Here, you will find the bolt that allows for cable adjustment: tightening the bolt will make the handbrake feel firmer and reduce the lever travel. Conversely, loosening the bolt will increase the lever travel and make it feel lighter.
