Hi, good remark and do not you know if is necessary to dismount brake's electric motor for pushing brake piston?

Mulțumesc!

Thanks for the info. I actually thought it was a "normal" torx, but now I can see it isn´t. I told my friend that I could change the brakes on his Passat if he wanted me to, however it means that I will have to purchase new tools 😞

Není zapotřebí sundavat drzak třmenu, kotouč jde vyměnit bez jeho demontáže

How?

On the same car, passat b8? If so thanks for the info 🤗

@@fractalofgod6324 just angle the disc and take it off

It‘s possible on the Passat and Tiguan don‘t know why Not on others

I confirm that it is indeed easy to remove the disk without unmounting the calipermount! (at least on my Passat B8 110kW 2.0 TDI from 2016, Brake "1KU" or FNc-M42 (16"), 300mm disk). Also I'd recommend to use VCDS/OBDeleven/etc. to open the electric parking brake - this way it is not necessary to unmount the electric motor before pushing the brake piston back into the brake caliper. In summary I had just to - put the electric motor in service position (open) - remove the spring - unscrew both 7mm hexagon sockets screws to remove the brake caliper from the brake pads - unscrew the little Torx on the brake disk - push back the brake piston (for this I opened the compensation reservoir of the brake fluid) - mount everything back - close the electric motor

so you will need 14. I don't know exactly what it's called, but if you want I can leave you a link with a kit and from there you can search for more details.

@@auto.b.i.daniel yes please, thanks 👍

Did You reconnect the ABS jumper?

Salut, scuze dar nu îmi amintesc exact dar pot să îți spun că este de 14 dar totuși să ai și unul de 12 în cazul în care nu îmi amintesc bine

14

Nu este cu cap torx ci cap spline, un fel de steluță de 12 muchii și este de mărimea 14.

Just turn the pin that is rotated by the motor in the right direction to retract the piston. If you push it without rotating it you can damage it.

Spune-mi in comentarii daca se poate

Am un passat ca si al tau , cand dau cu spatele si pun frana trosnește ceva la plăcuțele de frână, asta dupa ce am pus noi ( Bosch) înainte nu făcea, câteodată se aude foarte tare , sti cumva de ce ?

​@@josuachannel5805 nu sunt mecanic, dar din câte știu înainte de a umbla la frână spate trebuie dezactivat din soft senzorul din electronica frânei de mână.

if you take off the electric motor that actuates the brake piston, you will not break anything, however I do not know if the brake piston is pushed by normal pressing or only pressing and turning at the same time. in my case as you saw in the video everything was normal and I used this method many times on different cars in the VAG group

Salut . Nu sunt sigur daca este la fel dar mai mult ca sigur este asemănător

in my case 300mm. I have 2.0 150hp

@@auto.b.i.daniel Thanks, mine 2.0 220Hp R line.🙂

@@Dannyongwc5 Not sure if yours is 300mm

@@auto.b.i.daniel Same as your according to Brembo spec sheet.

Sa știi că am fost mulțumit de frânare.

@@auto.b.i.daniel Eu am pus discuri Brembo perforate si frânarea e ca la formula 1😆

probably has absolutely nothing to do with vcds, more likely there is another problem, like a rusted piston that gets stuck, chrome seems to be very thin on these, so once they start rusting from the dust cover groove, it goes quickly, in my case I serviced all 4 corners and everything was fine, pistons moved freely when I put the new discs and pads on, yearly inspection brake test was perfect, but after the winter I had first one seize in the front, lots of rust behind dust cover, then a month later one of the rear ones also, but that one "fixed" itself after few km when I actuated the hand brake a few times, when I took that one apart - same issue - heavy rust starting from the dust cover groove on the piston they use loads of salt on roads here in winter, and usually the weather is around 0 for most of the winter, so everything is rusting like crazy...

A cheaper alternative is to have an obd11
