I came here to see an easy way to do the disc replacement. This appears to be a standard way to do it, no problem with that. However, if a layperson doesn't have access to VCDS/VAGcom or similar, can the E parking brake be put into the service position or not? All this shows is how a dealer with £2000 worth of diagnostics can replace the brake disc, not a competent person on their driveway......
Thanks for the feedback. You could take the motors off of the Calipers and wind them back manually, think it may be a T45. I've heard of people unplugging the motor and giving it a live and earth. Best way is to buy a scan tool that has the capability. There are people on Gumtree UK etc that sell Chinese versions of the industry leading software already loaded onto a tablet or laptop with the OBD interface included for £200 to £300. Skoda main dealer will charge you around £300 for this job, so can be a good investment.
