paceo 22 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 got the MOT in 2 months so im sorting everything out early. :-)basically when both the rear wheels are in the air of my 1992 golf vr6, if i click the handbrake up 3 clicks you cant move the offside wheel, but the nearside wheel with some force you can turn it around.the car did have a new offside brake caliper when i got it. it was mentioned at the MOT last year that they were slightly different. so any ideas whats possibly wrong? :-( Link to post Share on other sites
oldmandon 1 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 It may be that the handbrake mechanism is not adjusting correctly. The cable is in 2 bits, and the nearside may be stretched. This happened to mine, nearside handbrake was not as good as offside, was told needed handbrake cable changing. Link to post Share on other sites

oldmandon 1 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I’m not sure, I guess some bits can be bought separately, you’d need to check. I know the cables can be bought separately. Sure someone will be along to clarify what’s what.... Link to post Share on other sites
Gazbarber1982 3 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Can you not adjust the cable under the rear ashtray? Thats how I did mine. 1 click now and its on. Link to post Share on other sites
