SC/SL/SW :: Emergency Brake Handle Won't Hold / Slipping
My friend's Emergency Brake is tricky: It usually doesn't hold, but pops off again. Its as if the 'teeth' somewhere inside were worn or maybe a ratchet has been rounded.

Just replace both ebrake cables, and rear brakes are all new including wheel cylinders and drums. No matter how much i pull up on the handle, the wheels wont lock up, and they should drag the wheels, but nothing. Something wrong? Barely stops car when put in drive too. Seems like my other accent would drag the wheels all over the place.

View 2 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: ABS / Airbag And Emergency Brake Light With A Beep Occurring
I have a 2000 VW Jetta GL. A few weeks ago I noticed my charging light come on followed by abs and airbag lights. Which would mean that the alternator is not charging the battery. However I kept on driving and this light would go off. However when I hit a bump on the road this light goes off meaning that the battery is being charged by the alternator. I recently installed a sound system in the vehicle which worked without problems for a few weeks before I started having this problem. Since then I have changed the alternator, battery and taken out the sound system. I now have a 125 amp alternator instead of a 90 amp alternator. The charge light doesn't come on anymore after startup but the abs, airbag and emergency brake light with a beep is now occurring.

View 14 RepliesVolkswagen - Jetta :: Car Rolled Away / Emergency Brake Won't Work - Key Removed When Not In PARK
Automatic car was "parked", turned off.
Key removed, though it was not in P.
Emergency brake works and applied, but may not have been applied all the way.
Rolled back across the low low grade parking lot and our white car bumped a ... black porsche! Doesn't appear to be any damage other than paint smudge/transfer from the bumper.
Normal safety feature where the car needs to be in Park before the Key comes out isn't working properly.
Is this something I can get the MFG to pay for? It's not under warranty. It's under a 3 yr power train warranty, but pretty sure at best this is a only related to a transmission issue, not directly a transmission issue. No recalls as of now for this on my vehicle.
Golf/GTI VI :: Emergency Brake Getting Stuck?
Okay let me start by saying my car is APR Stage 1. The other day I was driving with my cruise control on and held in the accelerate button to speed up. After holding in the button for a couple seconds the check engine light and battery light flashed back and forth as if I changed some setting with the tune. Ever since that happened, if I turn the TCS off, the emergency brake light comes out and the error message 'check brake pads' is displayed on the MFI. Also, the weird part is that it's not just the light. The actual emergency brake is slightly on without pulling the handle. I can feel it when I accelerate. It's harder to get the car going. Once I turn the car off and leave it off for a few hours it goes back to normal. Why this is happening?
View 1 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: 2009 - Fuel Door Opens Only With Emergency Handle
Several months ago I noticed that the fuel door switch on my '09 Sonata started to work worse and worse... would take two, three, four hits before the lid opened. Fast forward to now. While the door opens perfectly fine with the manual release (in trunk), the button no longer works no matter how many times I press it. When depressed, no noise is noticeable in the fuel door area. What the root cause is and what the fix should be? Is this something only a dealer can properly diagnose? The trunk release button still works fine both on the remote and in the car.

The dash DRL indicator comes on most of the time when I release the emergency brake. It seems that other times it doesn't. It also seems the indicator turns off after about 20 minutes. Does this sound normal, or does it sound like I have an electrical issue?
View 11 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Flashing Brake Lights Under Panic / Emergency Braking
I have a stock '13 GTI with halogens and standard (non-LED) tails.
In VCDS, I coded the CECM to enable the brake light flashing under panic braking and also enabled the activation of hazard flashers under panic braking. Coding was accepted, no issues.
However when I did a driveby test yesterday with a friend watching, neither feature activated. I stomped on the brakes as hard as I could; ABS definitely engaged. So I was wondering a couple things:
Is there a minimum speed required before this will engage? I was probably going only about 35 mph when I hit the brakes.
Does this feature (at least the flashing brake light portion) require LED tails or will it work with the regular tails?
Looking on youtube videos of people who have activated this, it appears that they have both the flashing brake lights and flashing hazards activated at the same time so it would seem that's allowed by the CECM, yes?
Found a screen shot of the VCDS screen to show what I did:
I enabled BOTH bit 1 and bit 2. Some of the research I'm doing seems to hint that I should only be selecting one or the other?

View 8 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: How To Clean Inside Door Handle
I need to clean the inside door handles badly on my Jetta. See pics. It seems that there outer layer of plastic is stained and rubbing off. I want to take this layer off completely, and protect it, but want to make sure I use something that's not harmful to the plastic.
Additionally, I need to re-glue a couple of trim pieces. I looked into trying to get replacement wood burl pieces, but VW stopped making them years ago, and I can't find them anywhere. My local dealer last sold a single piece a year ago for $303 (yes - a single piece - the driver door simple 1" strip; not the whole kit). So I'm going to try to re-glue the broken piece to try and make it look decent. I'm wondering if others have had experience doing this and can suggest the best type of glue.
Golf IV R32 :: Button On E-Brake Handle Rattles When Driving
The button on my e-brake handle rattles when driving, just the button, like there could be foam or something put behind the button on the inside of the assembly.
The previous owner had a paper clip jammed under the handle, but it made the parking brake application useless unless you pulled the clip out when you want to lock the brake into place, and then put the clip back in to get rid of the rattle, this was possible, but got aggravating, I just want to get in and drive, not mess with the parking brake constantly.

View 1 RepliesGTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Broken Glove Box Handle - Replacing The Door
Most of the info I could find recommended replacing the entire glove box, and removing the center console to do so. I found a replacement door on ECS tuning's website, but I can't find a DIY on replacing the door/lid only. Any way out on replacing the door only, are the same steps required/removing the center console and taking the entire box out, or can the ECS tuning lid be fitted without as much disassembly?
