Volkswagen / VAG - with Electric Parking Brake. Replace pads (Easy, without computer) How I do 

Haha, similar interests I think 😉 The caliper comressorkit is not really needed here but sense I have one I might aswell use it🙂

They were 🔧

For readers in the future. Apply brake pressure as normal with the brake pedal first. That way you do not "overload" the electric motor. Apply electric handbrake and it can run without resistance until it stops. Also it is recommended to release electric parking brake, build brake pressure with brake pedal, and reapply electric parking brake one more time.

@@frodelarsen7105brill! Exactly what I was worried about. Thanks 👍🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

No, released

Then you either did the front or don't have electronic hand brake!

@@stuffoflardohfortheloveof I did both and have the electrical park brake. Try again

@@HoBBLeCooKiE in which case why not share your method instead of throwing out unhelpful comments

@stuffoflardohfortheloveof I said I just used the caliper tools to turn the piston back. It rotates to a point and then the last 8mm or so you use the normal piston to push it straight back. That is it. No need to remove the motor.

@@HoBBLeCooKiE ok, thank you. Doesn't (or didn't) the motor try to stop you from doing that though?

No, it worked fine

I got all the flashes on the dashboard after doing it 😢. Brake pressure sensor, abs module, hill hold, epb not operational .....

@@boyanratchev877 What did you do?

it turned out I have forgotten to plug the power cable to the left calliper motor. After plugging it, all was good and dashboard lights were gone

@@boyanratchev877 Lol. I would make that same mistake. Glad you got it working properly. I was worried about this repair with that comment so I am glad it seems to be fine to do.

Don't know where you're getting that phrase from but all he's doing is physically 'winding' back the 'plate' that pushes against the caliper. In normal use the electrical motor does this for you. He's doing it in stages (doesn't need to) where he winds back then pushes the caliper back to meet the 'plate' again, then repeats until he's wound back completely. There are other YT vids where you connect your own 12v source to electrically wind back the 'plate' for you, allowing you to push back the caliper yourself.

Thats what Im asking myswlf as well. Did you get any claryfication?

Hi, it's a simple job but very important to do it in order! You have to: 1st rotate the gear behind the piston so the piston has space to move in and 2nd press the piston in. Be careful not to push it beyond its limit or you risk damaging the el.moter and piston.

@@trihordias thank you. Did it yesturday, worked perfectly. No errors at all 😊😊

For real?

Could you elaborate just a bit, pls?

Sounds like the electric motor is bad, I would try to remove the motor where it is, then realese the parkingbrake with the screw under the motor, but thats just me 🙃

Right : if you connect a 12V spare DC battery on the socket, and invert the polarities, the motor will work reverse . You don't need a similar connector : put a thin pin on each cable, and introduce both in the caliper socket , that will be enough .

Reversing the brake motor is much easier and safer way to do this job. A small pair of jumpers with insulated crocodile clips and lay out your large jumper leads on the floor for a power supply from the cars battery. Switching is done by touching the small jumpers on the big jumpers.

Same on both sides.

The motor will stop it moving

@@Nypartcannon it will not , i did those brakes 100 times

@@vojtechkrasl7501 ahh so You need to rotate them

@@Nypartcannon if you dont have diagnostics you have to rotate them

@@vojtechkrasl7501 if you do have the diagnostics, i think you can set the brake motor to retract all the way back? or do you still have to wind it? (i dont have the wind tool)
