Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 4, Golf IV, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Brake system
Operation: Brake pedal switch replacement

The brake pedal switch is located right above the pedal lever and is fixed with a bayonet coupling: to be able to remove it, it is therefore sufficient to rotate it about ninety degrees anticlockwise and pull it upwards to remove it from its site; then disconnect the power plug and insert it into the new switch; align the latter so that it fits into its housing and rotate it ninety degrees clockwise until it clicks into place. At the end of the installation, check the correct operation of the new switch by pressing the pedal and checking that the brake lights come on.

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.
