►Replacing the rear brake pads and rotors of your MQB chassis Volkswagen Tiguan is essentially the same process as the VW Arteon and Atlas. If your brake pads or rotors are visually worn past their usable life, if your pad wear sensor has tripped a warning message on the instrument cluster, or if the rear of your car is shaking under braking, it's time to replace these components.
Replacement of the MQB-based VW Tiguan brakes couldn't be more straightforward and is a job that nearly anyone can tackle in their garage or driveway at home. It requires minimal special tools, all of which are outlined in the intro of this video.
Follow along as Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er walks us through the step-by-step process of replacing the rear brake pads and rotors on a VW Tiguan SE R-Line.

I just did mine. The hardest part was the top 7mm hex bolt. I had to use a 7mm key as my tools didn't have the swivel and short extension. But all this helped. I bought an ANCEL VD500 OBD II Diagnostic Scanner for about $50 USD that made it easy. Your video helped a lot, could not have done it without your help.

Remove the electronic parking brake off the back of the caliper, take the 2 t27 screws out and use a 9mm on the little shaft inside (turn clockwise with your hand) and push the piston in with a clamp or caliper compression tool and put it back together! You dont need an expensive scan tool to do this! 2021 vw tiguan se-rline, 3 different brake pads and rotors trying to find the best set for my 20" asanti black labels, worked for me every time with no problem and i think it might even be faster than the scan tool also

Thanks for this walkthrough. Ive never done any work on a car before and following along with this video helped me get my breaks done in ~20 minutes per side. Im in southern ontario and i couldnt believe how dirty and rusty everything was once i got the thing disassembled. A wire wheel was essential for me. Fortunately i grabbed one on a whim. I also used a $50 scanning tool to make the ebreak thingy go (if anyone is floored by the price of the fancy touch screen one in this video, there are affordable alternatives) Thanks again! Saved me a buttload of cash and i learned a new skill!

Since the MQB chassis shares a lot of parts across the platform the rear rotors and calipers are the same on a Golf R 7.5 and Audi S3 8V (and submodels). This is nice because having to try and remove the rear caliper carrier not on a lift (i.e. jack stands) is near impossible due to the torque required. Great video and talks for all the support the FCP Euro team provides!

I just did my rear pads and rotors and found that the driver side outboard pad was down to the metal, while the other three rear pads still had plenty of material. After replacement, I felt the car fighting acceleration giving it the gas, and actively decelerating (instead of coasting) when I let off the gas but didn't apply the brake. It's as if that pad is always actuated. Bad caliper? Bad guide pins? What gives?

@tidus_on_crack6570 5 ай бұрын

Very common on all cars to either have seized slide pins from lack of grease, or sometimes a hung up caliper. Only way to check for sure is to pull off the suspected culprit, and check that the slide pins move freely, take the caliper and compress, whatever tool you used it should compress relatively easy if you feel like you have to use all your strength the caliper is most likely seized up. Based on only the outboard pad being excessively worn I would suspect the slide pins are the culprit, but again only one way to know gotta take it apart and inspect the system. Sorry it took 4 weeks for anyone to reply to you

@IanDeRanieri 5 ай бұрын

@@tidus_on_crack6570 Hey man, it's free advice and I appreciate it. I took the slide pins out and greased them up but the issue is persisting. Next thing I'm gonna try is bleeding the brakes, I'm thinking maybe there's a fluid issue. Or I might just replace the caliper. Anyway thanks for the advice!

@MeltingRubberZ28 2 ай бұрын

@IanDeRanieri simply greasing the pins is not sufficient if they are rusted. As soon as the boot is torn, replace the boot and the slide pin. Sounds like a bad caliper to me but what do I know.
