Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf 7, Golf VII, MK 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to reset the brake wear warning light on the Volkswagen Golf 7?

If the Volkswagen Golf 7 brake wear warning light remains on even after replacing the pads, the only way to make it go out is to disable the brake wear sensor. To do this, you need to disassemble the corresponding wheel by unscrewing the bolts corresponding to the wheel. Once this has been removed, the connector that is connected to the brake wear sensor can be disconnected. In this way the warning light that signals the wear of the pads will disappear from the instrument panel; finally, the wheel can be mounted again by fixing it with the appropriate bolts.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
