Handbrake: how many clicks?

[E052798]

Good tuesday to all,

 

I wonder how many clicks do you hear when you pull your handbrake/parking brake after parking.

Foot brakers not relevant.

 

i chance across a service manual(for similar car but different rear brake) that says 6-9 clicks is norm.

mine using disc brake already very tight at 3-4. Yes i can pull more but that'll be excessive force.

 

Just a poll to find out the norm.

tt why i tell u alot noob drivers who should not be on the roiads

[Pocus]

Seriously.....Who counts the number of clicks? Unless you are suffering from OCD lah. As long as the handbrake feels tight it's good enough right?

 

In driving school, we are not even taught to listen to click, just hold button, pull and release button...

[Sony]

in case you start a thread to ask how many brick, i would say 1 is the norm but u can put 4, either on one wheel or on all of them. it's your choice

[E052798]

LOL.

 

bricks clicks says the service manual.

download a few and check it out.

 

u guys have a nice day ya.

My car had 3 clicks from day one and two years on, still at 3 clicks.

 

Don't rely on clicks for brake functionality, make sure the car does not move as intended!!!

As long as the car don't move, when I service my rear brake they adjust it to 2 click, it really depend on what setting the mechanic adjust. My wife's AE111 have so many click that I just give it a strong pull. Cannot imagine one were to go and count 1 2 3 .. .. .. ..
