Audi A6 2008 change rear brake pads and discs. (With electronic parking brake)

[@R3Wood]

You are not kidding with the torx that holds the rotor on. Don’t over tighten. Both sides on mine were stripped I had to drill it out and retap with an 8mm then go to the hardware store for SS bolts. Thanks again for this video!

Hi I do my best... Thanks! For watching and for your comment! 👍👍👍

[@MrBorntoroll]

Nice on. Thanks for sharing. Totally agree on the greasing. Additionally I always relube sliding pins with some silicone paste.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

MrBorntoroll I also do it when they need... in this case they were good.... Thank you for watching and for your comment!

[@beaver6969lv]

NO NEED TO REMOVE CALIPER BRACKET. TAKE OF T30 BOLT AND SLIDE ROTOR OUT FROM BRACKET. DON'T MESS WITH THE 18MM BOLTS HOLDING CALIPER BRACKET ON!!

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Some you can do that, some others, the only way to remove the disc is by removing the bracket... 👍👍👍

[@colinaglae2605]

Thanx Imsvvavr, for another brilliant video. Always following your work. Salaams from Brighton!!

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Colin Aglae Thank you for watching!

[@sam-1-USA]

You said what you did, but you did not show how you did it. 6:13 How do you take the caliper off?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Hi Two bolts holding it to the sliding pins... Most of the calipers come out this way... Thank you for watching! 👍👍👍

[@sam-1-USA]

@@LMAutoRepairs Thanks. What is confusing is that some videos show a 9mm Allen bolt behind the caliper. It must be from a different version of the car.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Yes... different manufacturers different styles... but same principle!...👍

[@R3Wood]

Thanks. Nice to see this before I do it.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

That's great! Thanks for watching and for your comment!

[@konradzehrt6193]

Very well presented and likewise very informative. Thanks

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Thanks! For watching and for your comment!

[@crank3646]

Its good idea , to put the anti seize behind the brake hardware , not above . Its stainless steal , so its not going to rust , but if rust gets underneath , this will block the pads from moving . P.S. we all saw the brake caliper hanging on the brake line

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Crank I usually tie wrap the caliper to the spring... in this case the brake hose is straight, not bending or kinky... so is not really stressing the hose... nevertheless you have a point... it shouldn't be like that... Thank you for watching and for your comment!

[@romansanchez2147]

I'm from visalia California thank you so much

Hello to California! Thank you for watching and for your comment!

[@vechielstone]

How do you get the caliper bracket and rotor bolt off( tool sizes)?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Can't really remember the size now... sorry... Thank you for watching!

[@Erkebokken]

bracket has two external 21 mm hex bolts and the little screw on the brake rotor disc is an internal torx size t30 if I recall correctly :)

[@i-bird2786]

Hello men nice job i love this car Audi A6 :D

[@LMAutoRepairs]

i-Bird Thanks... it is a nice car indeed...

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Hi Will do my best! Thank you for watching!

[@nicdilla]

Nice. But I think they put your Steering column on the wrong side of the car!😮😂.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

🤣 Yes... they do that around here.... 👍👍👍

[@s3hooligan]

is a special wrench required to remove the lower bolt that holds the disc in place? I'm finding it difficult to get access to.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

s3hooligan Hi No special tools... Thank you for watching!

[@s3hooligan]

Thanks, I figured out that you only need to remove the retraining screw to remove the rotor. No need to remove the caliper carrier bolts.

[@MH-nh9yw]

What is the tool you used to turn off the electric parking brake? And where can i find it?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Hi I have used my MS908P... but you might want to look for something cheaper... Look on ebay, there is cheap tool dedicated just for that! Hope that helps. Thank you for watching!

[@MH-nh9yw]

What would you recommend that is cheaper?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

@@MH-nh9yw Just search something like EPB tool... You find them as cheap as £40 on eBay...

[@nazikalala]

Great video but please do not undermine the importance of showing the removal of caliper and fitting everything back on. Cars are not the same so it helps to see everything, thanks.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Hi I will next time! Thank you for watching and for your suggestion!

[@Christian-go7ze]

Can i do it with VAG COM ? (VCDS)

[@LMAutoRepairs]

I would say yes...😉 Thank you for watching and for your comment!

[@Christian-go7ze]

@@LMAutoRepairs One more question, can it be done without using a battery charger? my battery it is almost new and i do not own a battery charger..

[@LMAutoRepairs]

@@Christian-go7ze Yes... should be fine...

[@heminhama5724]

Hi, I have Audi A5 2010 manual s line, on the dashboard my parking brakes is flashing. I took it to 3 garages and they still haven’t fixed it. I was wondering if you are in the UK and you can fix this for me please? Thanks

[@LMAutoRepairs]

I would help you, but as might do or not know, i do this jobs as a part time... and at the moment, I do not really have the room, the weather has been... well, the typical british one... Did any of the garages gave you the diagnostic report, with the trouble codes?

[@heminhama5724]

lmsvvavr none of the 3 garages give me nothing. One of them told me to change the parking brake unit and I did but it’s still same problem.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Ok... Do you have how to get the car scanned? Mabe someone near you can do it....

[@mohamedmohamed-le7yc]

peace be upon you brother Are there books that speak in this area?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

mohamed mohamed Thank you... Sorry for my ignorance ... but I don't really get your question...

[@Erkebokken]

@@LMAutoRepairs I know that this is a really old thread, but I think he meant to ask if there is any book on the subject of rear break jobs, probably the kind with electronic breaks such as the ones in modern Audi A6 :p This is just a wild guess though XD

[@byivan1]

every your video is interesting for me- so you do you wanna want

[@LMAutoRepairs]

ivan basic Thank you Ivan! For watching and for your comment!

[@davidyaroch6622]

I did find a way to retract the parking brake without a scan tool. Just unbolt the motor and rewind it to the service position. After reassembly just cycle the parking brake a few times. Easy Peasy.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

👍👍👍

[@nh-nw2pz]

How much should it cost to do this job??

[@LMAutoRepairs]

n h Not too much... it is only discs and pads change after all... Thank you for watching!

[@DarrenFox-t5t]

The disc comes out without removing the caliper bracket

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Possibly... 👍

[@beaver6969lv]

how in the holy fuck did you get that caliper bracket off?? The lower bolt is impossible to get wrench socket anything on. would of been nice to see you do it without editing

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Impossible? No, is not Impossible... Unless you don't have the right tools... 👍👍👍

[@bogdib]

how u take the caliper off... hahahahah goood

😋 Was not going as planned... Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Cristian Prisecaru Hi Compare what? Thank you for watching!

[@helenrudy3476]

Amen brother!

[@rc8727]

This isn't helpful at all you need to show what you do not say and skip

[@LMAutoRepairs]

I only skipped the most basics... If you can't figure those out... 👍👍👍

[@rc8727]

@LMAutoRepairs maybe realize some people watch these videos because they DON'T no the basics or tricks. And they can't afford the expensive mechanic fees now days. Maybe make the videos for the people that's need the help and your channel would grow more and you wouldn't be wasting your time. Being a smart ass doesn't help those that are trying to learn. You may as well delete this video cause all it did was waste my time and probably many others

[@LMAutoRepairs]

@rc8727 Unfortunately if I start to show how to remove nuts and bolts and most basic stuff, the videos will be even longer... I am pretty sure, and always endeavour to cover the most important parts... Either way, I I will not delete the video, as I am sure it will help someone out there... And no smart ass here, just showing what I believe it it worth to show... 👍👍👍

[@LMAutoRepairs]

What have I skipped that is that important? I only skip the most basic stuff... nuts and bolts... If you can't figure that out...

[@rc8727]

@LMAutoRepairs I had a hell of a time getting the bolts on back out. I was looking for a video to show me what to do or if I was missing a step and then I see your video skipping all the things I was looking for. The sarcastic jack ass condescending tone isn't necessary. Not everyone has the same skill sets so being an ass I pathetic and disappointing that someone that's creating any for of contact has any kind of influence of any kind I think you tone and disrespect is completely uncalled for. Glad I didn't like your video and I don't support the channel. Your personality doesn't deserve support.
