Volkswagen Tiguan - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Hand brake
Operation: How do you reset the Volkswagen Tiguan electronic handbrake?

To be able to reset the electronic handbrake of the Volkswagen Tiguan it is necessary to completely disassemble the front wheel of the car, in order to remove it and access the components located behind it: here it will be possible to identify the brake caliper, which must be removed by loosening it the screws. Behind it there will be the handbrake connector, which must be disconnected and reconnected after a few seconds. In this way the handbrake will be correctly reset and when it is used it will be possible to notice that the handbrake will be working properly.

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.
