Brilliant vid i followed step by step today and got both sides changed in less than an hour. I decided not to disconnect the wiring harness and it was still easy enough to get the motor off.👍🏼👊🏼
Just finished this things i found out that clip from the ebrake motor is a two hand contract, one on the clup annnnd one prying out like he said both clips are good i did use a seven m rachet annnnd socket, it was a pain in the ass but it worked , i was worried that the ebrake wouldn’t reset itself after turning that clockwise but it did I just did that half turn or that full turn that he mentioned and it was all good thanks partner for your time in posting this !!!
Brilliant video, just got me out of trouble as I didn't think the disc would pass by the carrier. Wiggled out with ease thanks to the video. Also great tip on removing the Vag motor and I had the G clamp similar to yours. Whole job went without any issues. Many thanks for posting.
I foolishly pressed end lining instead of start and the rod came all the way out. I managed to get it back in, not sure if I've damaged it but I'm have multiple errors on dash with abs and I can't get my car free from handbrake so I'm stuck. Any ideas how to reset this as I was using vagcom? The reason I used this video was to whind the piston back further after removing the motor. Any help is appreciated.
Great video works well only probs I had were lining up the splines to motor when reassembled had to adjust a touch and figuring out how to get EPB off and to stay off when you shut down ignition was a nightmare just played about with press and hold can’t even remember how I got it to stay off but will post when figure out what I did 😂
Great video and nice to see clever disc removal without needing to remove calliper carrier bracket!!! Also, there’s much controversy about how to push calliper piston in! I’ve heard that VW cars with EPB: the piston simple pushes straight in AFTER USING A SCAN TOOL TO PUT EPB INTO SERVICE MODE!! (I used Autel VD700) BUT be aware models with conventional hand lever operated parking brake require calliper piston to be “rotated” while it is pressed in using a “wind back” tool!!!
According to VW manual attempting to push rear pistons in without first using diagnostic to open will result in severe damage to the EPB motors. Also on NO account should EPB motors be taken apart. Follow this guys guide at your own risk and expense if you ruin calipers!
@@SalvageMasterEssex Thanks for your reply. I have edited my comment to include putting EPB into service mode with scan tool BEFORE pushing caliper piston in!
@@SalvageMasterEssex The piston isn’t “pushed” back it’s wound back. The spline connection when turned does exactly what the motor would achieve only slower. The resistance is minimal and i never use unnecessary force to turn it, hence winding it back with finger and thumb. Electronic connections were disconnected before winding back.
I used 12v supply from a battery or power brick to wind back. Look inside the socket, 2 pins labeled, connect positive to pin 1 and negative to pin 2. Will hear moter sound and see piston is not moving out. When Motor sound changes, disconnect. Compress the piston in.
Has anyone just painted the grill? Seems easier and less money. Also i think there is a small spot at the bottom of the badge to fit somethinf under to help pop it out.
Thanks for the instruction, going to have a go at the racingline cup edition intake and turbo elbow replacements on my golf R for my channel. Nice one👍🏽all subbed up, good luck boss🤘🏽
very easy even if you don't know your way around cars and engines. this is very simple stuff and wont require much mechanical knowledge. basic set of tools will do fine. just watch the video a few times to get comfortable.
@@ethand7575 Legend thanks for the quick reply. Gonna get one soon, you noticed any difference with performance? Perhaps a boost in MPG aswell? Atleast that's what some people say!
@@ackaz_ Can’t say I’ve seen an increase. Maybe on dyno it’s adds 1% more power. Thing with bolt on mods is until you get the car mapped you won’t unlock the potential of the mod. Something like this would give you more power at stage 1 over standard air box with the increase in intake pipe size. If you have Instagram I can send a video of a lad who put a blow off valve on his cupra 300. Sounds insane. ethan_dalton75
Turbo flutter is achieved through a blow off valve or just high boost. Because the car was remapped the turbo was running higher boost and when the accelerator was released at peak boost it made the turbo flutter or “chatter” noise
