Use a torque wrench, not a power bar to tighten all the bolts, plus use thread lock. Except on wheel nuts.. Power bar in wrong hands will break bolts..

@@devinshuping I have the same exact car and DOES NOT do this loudness. Today mine has to cats and 2 mufflers in the back, but back when I got it was stock and was boring because is so silenced.
That little clip which fixes to the edge of the pad which is only on the back pad. Should it go at the top or bottom. I see you fixed it to the bottom but on mine it was at the top of the pad. Thank you.
У меня старый Q5 с пробегом 438000 км. Девятый год владею и ходовку сам делаю. Но которую неделю собираю информацию про КАДЖАР. Скорее всего возьму его и тоже сам буду чинить. Все просто и относительно недорого 👍 По Кватро конечно буду скучать 😢
the most important thing about a brake service is to clean and re grease the sliders on the carriers, this guy missed them totally. nice clean job though.
the guides operating in the rubber bands of the ATE caliper are not lubricated with grease, unfortunately the guide stick seizes up and leads to faster wear of the blocks
No, it wasn't necessary because I used torx to loosen the electric handbrake. After everything is done, handbrake will adjust automatically when you pull it long enough.
Thanks for the video. It was really useful. I used it to help me replace the pads on the rear of a 2016 Kadjar. I was a bit worried about the EPB problem but taking note of this video and a couple of similar ones I went for the option of turning off the parking brake with engine on then stopping the engine with the "brake off" button still pressed. That way the parking brake is not applied and you are able to remove the calliper ok. I then disconnected the power cord to the motor so that the EPB could not be reapplied. I wasn't confident about putting power into the motor with an external source- as some have suggested - so went for the method shown here of taking the motor off and rewinding it manually. To be honest it isn't that much more work than putting power across the motor and you don't have to worry about frying the motor. I didn't have a torx bit big enough so found a socket adaptor that fit in the hole well enough to wind the EPB part of the piston back. (It takes very little effort to wind it back so a good fit isn't critical). I then pushed the main piston back with a screw clamp. When it all went back together, as shown, the EPB resets and recalibrates itself just by pulling the EPB button. It can take a couple of extra seconds but it worked perfectly.
There is only one holding screw although there are two holes in both hub and disc. The unused hole in the hub does not have a thread though so to use it you have to use a tapping bit of the correct size to put a thread in it (takes 2 mins). I ended up needing this when I replaced my front discs as the holding screw was so tight that the head was stripped trying to remove it. So it had to be drilled out. I then bought a new screw (£3.50 Renault or 50p from breakers yard) and used the other mounting hole instead. Job done. Just make sure that there is nothing of the old screw sticking proud of the hub. By the way, be prepared for a fight to get the old hub off! I needed heat, some big hammers and a lot of patience. If you can get something in the slot between the two disc faces (the vents) it helps as you can apply a twisting motion- provided that the car is in gear to lock the wheel.
A great moment of car mechanics. 5/5 !! I have never seen this done at the best garage... To get such a great service, you have to do it yourself ! Thanks for sharing. The list of the different products used (copper paste, ceramic paste...) would be a plus... On my side, I add : for my Kadjar, the minimum thickness of the front brake discs is 24 mm.
Thanks for that. It’s obvious what these tools are to most people but I have tended to leave wheel swaps to the Volvo dealer who sold me the extra wheels when the car was new in 2014. If I did change a wheel, I would have used the tools that came with the car which make things a lot harder and without the precision of a torque wrench! Thanks for explaining and for some great videos.
