Parking brake adjustment on MKV Golf/GTI 

Damn good how to video. Straight through, clear spoken , no ridiculous music. 👍🏻

wow such an amazeballs video. This video will blow your balls off. Watched it three times now and learn something new every time. Would love to see some more from this channel.

Awesome video exactly what I needed.

What a performance to adjust the handbrake, typical ******* German built car, not assembled in Germany but thrown together. It really does make you wonder if they sat down and tried to design something that is as difficult to work on as possible. I've been in the motor trade 40 years and German cars are all the same.

The duct was in the way for me to get the last screw on pass side by the seat. I happened to have a 12 inch long 1/2 drill and just made holes above that screw, then duct taped them closed when finished. Made it much easier to get that last screw, but I had the bit and tape is fine in a vent.

Hey man thanks a lot for this video helped me a lot. However, i found a solution to not accessing that last screw under the HVAC duct. if you pull up on the duct it will actually move out of the way allowing you to access the screw

Not sure on this specific vehicle but on my 14 jetta tdi you can access the nut through the bottom of the of the center console.

Thanks a lot man

Thanks heaps, thats a great informative video

Looks like a easy 2min job 😁

Thanks a great help

Thanks bro👍

Decided not to do It :)

Also when i try to tigthen the 10mm nut it just spin

Merci mais non merci, dommage vous ne filmer pas le dévissage car j'ai mis 1h pour retirer une vis...

hey i came across this video because i am looking for a hand brake housing replacement (the things that slides up and down with the lever) . I am afraid ill drop stuff down there. anyway, i see you have the same type of hand brake housing and wondering if you know where i can get replacement or a way to fix it/workaround great video btw - thx!

You shoudn't adjust parking brake on this nut if you have too many clicks. This is used only when you change rear calipers, so you set the handbrake lever on calipers to 1-1.5mm from the lever stop. VW uses screw type auto adjust handbrake, so if for some reason you have too many clicks over time as brake pads worn out, that means that your auto adjusting mechanism isn't working.

Merci

On my 2008 Jetta the ebreak cables are new and the passenger side cable is pulling more than the driver side one so it’s uneven. So it isn’t working properly. Any tips on how to fix it?

How did you tighten down the nut at the end of the video? I can’t get a wrench in there

Do they want to make it any more a pain in the ass

If you have excessive handbrake travel you need to make adjustments at the wheels before you touch the cable adjustment.

Ty men))

When i did this on my Volvo s70 all I had to do was remove 1 panel in The cup holder and then the nut was there. wtf vw

Hmm... I have 6 stack CD player covering the screw

Calipers are self adjusting

😅

What a joke just to adjust a handbrake. Typical German car.
