    I have removed the front seat and handbrake a few times and put back with no issues, until today! Whilst putting the seat back in the handbrake cable is now too short to put back into the handbrake lever, has anyone come across this before, it is around 2/3 inches shorter than when i removed...

    Whilst preparing to cut a 64 mm hole in the side of my drivers seat base I lifted the seat base complete with handbrake off the four bolts and inadvertently lifted the handbrake lever, it raised with a number of clicks which I thought nothing about. Anyway I cut the hole for the heater ducting...

    its got to be said... Cali handbrake for the win

    One of the best mods so far is the Grand California handbrake. You lift it up then let go and it drops to the floor while still being engaged. Allows you to swivel the seat so much easier. Yes yes, I know all you posh gits with dsg can just put it in Park but for those without this is a game...

    Help! Nicked handbrake cable near lever with angle grinder

    I have been very foolish. I was removing the bulkhead retainers in a van with a floor already fitted so I needed to go from the cab side, and the angle grinder nicked the handbrake cable where it enters the van. It's holding, but is there anyway of testing the cable to know if it's good/needs...

    Handbrake spacer

    Fitted swivel seats today but ran out of adjustment on the handbrake when lowered. Has anyone solved this with a spacer and if so can point me in the direction of an appropriate part?

    Handbrake too low.

    Stupid question but, Is there anyway the handbrake could be made higher, my wife drives our T6 but she has to lean over and down the side of the drivers seat to reach the handbrake. Shes only small and the drivers seat is at its lowest setting. Hill starts are hard for her. Thanks

    EPB Retrofit ... the way to Stop & Go

    So with ACC and DSG in the T6 we have the FollowToStop capability. But i wont more, i wont to have "Stop and Go" like it is available in the VW Sharan PQ35 which is very likely like the T6 which is PQ25. Needles to say we need Auto-Hold and EPB to get Stop & Go capability. T6 ABS is a complete...

    Afternoon all, I have a dsg I'm just converting, and it strikes me the handbrake isn't really necessary in a dsg? Can I not just leave it in 'P'? Had anyone got rid of their handbrake?

    Switching handbrake question: move lever from left to right of driver's seat

    Hi All, I haven't yet looked at the handbrake lever setup on my (new-to-me) 2019 T6 DSG - I thought it best to see if anyone has any advice first-off. So, has anyone any experience or heard if this is practical or reasonably possible? At its most basic could a torsion bar through suitable...
