vr6paul 0 Posted October 11, 2004 Need to do this as far too many clicks. Will be doing rear breaks anyway. how straight forward is it to do? thanks again PAul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corozin 0 Posted October 11, 2004 Paul, You need to remove the trim from the centre tunnel inside the car behind the handbrake. There are a couple of adjusters there,. John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 11, 2004 Yep, but do that after you've overhauled the rear brakes. And remember, the rear wheels must lock with 3 clicks to pass the MOT now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_mat 0 Posted October 11, 2004 Fortunately you only need to show 16% of total (4-wheel) braking power at the rear wheels when using the handbrake to pass the MOT.. If it was made any more stringent, VW would suddenly have to start fitting proper rear handbrake mechanisms or something..! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 11, 2004 Ah but you do get proper rear brakes with MK4 calipers :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted October 11, 2004 I can give you a hand with the centre tunnel stuff Paul. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted October 11, 2004 Removed my centre console and adjusted my handbrake recently, it's fairly easy to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradovr6sc 0 Posted October 11, 2004 how does the handbrake handle come off? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted October 12, 2004 There is a small tab underneath that has to be released, then slide the handle off at the same time. Can be a little tricky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
