Best Answer

Remove plastic cover on handbrake lever. You will find an adjustment nut plus a locknut on each cable, as there is a separate cable for each side of the car. Adjust as necessary.

Are all golf gti with a turbo?

no not all golf gti's have a turbo on the newer golf's it's the one's with a red i in gti that are turboed ok buddy If you are buying a brand new Golf GTI, you can request that the model that you will buy has a turbo in it or none. Of course by adding this feature increases the price of the unit. If you are buying a second hand Golf GTI, I suggest that you research car advertisings first and locate a used Golf GTI with a turbo (if that is what you desire), compare prices and values/condition, then grab it. This way, you will get the specification you want at the price you can afford.


Where is diagnostic plug on vw polo gti 2001?

If you open the flip up compartment opposite the hand brake, there should be a cigarette lighter socket in there. Next to it is a little black tray, you should be able to pull the tray out and it will be there in pink. Gamertag on xbox live "Amar Rambo"
