Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf V, MK 5, Golf 5 - Years 2003-2008
Part: Hand brake
Operation: How do you adjust the handbrake of the Volkswagen Golf?

The handbrake adjustment on the Volkswagen Golf is done by loosening the screws that secure the cover of the central tunnel: once the screws have been loosened, it will be possible to completely remove this cover, so that access to the components positioned underneath it can be obtained. Here it will be possible to locate the bolt connected to the handbrake cable: by loosening this bolt, the handbrake travel will increase and it will become lighter. Conversely, by tightening the bolt, the handbrake travel will decrease and it will become harder; at the end of the adjustment, it will be possible to reinstall the cover.
