How to Adjust the Handbrake of a Volkswagen Touran?

Model: Volkswagen Touran 5T, MK 2 - Years 2015-2024
Part: Parking brake

You can adjust the handbrake of a Volkswagen Touran by opening the ashtray located at the rear of the centre console: once opened, you can detach it to access the components underneath. Here you will find the nut that allows you to adjust the tension of the handbrake cable: by tightening the nut, you can make the handbrake firmer, reducing the lever travel. Conversely, by loosening the corresponding nut, you will make the lever softer and increase the travel.
