Episode 4 of repairs on my Wife's new Golf Mk6 (K5) .
Its time for some routine maintenance in time for winter and in this video I fit new front brake discs and brake pads.
This is the same process for the Mk 5 Golf and for many other VW group cars of the era (Skoda, seat, Audi etc)
This video shows the left side in detail as this side has the brake wear warning wire and the right side is exactly the same but without the sensor wire.
I hope you find this video useful and remember to check out the other videos on my channel for more car repair. Like and subscribe if you like what you see.

Processes in the video have been sped up and shortened . Please ensure you fully tighten all bolts on reassembly.

My VW polo just had new pads. I had to cut the sensor out because my polo don't use it 😅

Hi there, this is a great video! Where did you place the jack stand?

@AstonishingGlasgow 5 месяцев назад

Thanks. I placed the stand on the lower control arm mount NOT the lower control arm itself.

Can you change the pads without taking off the caliper holder? Bolts of mine is rusted and there is not grip to loosen it up.

@AstonishingGlasgow 5 месяцев назад

yes. you can change the pads with the caliper bracket in place, just remove the slide bolts.

Always enjoy watching your videos. Just wondering, didn‘t you replace the screw you had to drill out?

@AstonishingGlasgow 2 года назад

CHEERS. I didn't, I only drilled the head off to remove the disc as the rest of the screw was well and truly seized into the hub.

Curious if the paste you applied was grease or a copper anti-seize?

@AstonishingGlasgow Год назад

I'm sure this is the job where I decided to try high temp silicone grease which is meant to be the new way to go. It not only acts as an anti seize but it also lubricates the slide pins better than copper slip and won't burn off or melt as it gets warm.
