easy enough mate, tighten the 13mm under the center console till u have about 3 clicks on the hand brake, also after you've adjusted it make sure u can then spin the rear wheels freely (handbrake off), if they're tight u'll have to loosen the cable a bit. ________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |

Disconect the cables and make sure they move freely, if they do Try winding back both pistons, give the sliders a good grease and then pump the brake pedal up before adjusting the cable that should reset the calipers and hopefully sort your problem. They are a pain to get right and wat makes it worse is the handbrake is pretty poor design to start with. ________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |
