Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 7, Golf 7, Golf VII - Years 2012-2019
Part: Gearbox
Operation: How do you drive the Volkswagen DSG automatic transmission?

Let's see how to drive the automatic transmission of a Volkswagen Golf VII: the DSG transmission is definitely one of the easiest to use. On the left side of the transmission, we find some letters. "P" stands for park, "R" for reverse, "N" for neutral, which means the car is in neutral, and "D" stands for drive. To switch from one position to another, press the brake pedal, then on the lever there is a kind of trigger in the front: every time we change position, we click and move to the next position. To start, release the brake slowly and the car will start on its own. If you want, you can also intervene manually. Move the shift lever to the right side (when in "D"). By doing so, we switch to "S" - always keep your foot on the brake - pushing the lever forward, we go forward with the gears. By pulling it back, we go backward. To park, put the lever in "R" and the car goes in reverse. We have arrived. Now, shift to "P".

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.
