CHANGING THE FRONT & REAR BRAKES ON MY AUDI S3 8V | DIY TUTORIAL | PADS/LINES/DISCS

[@S3Ranj]

When winding the piston back, loosen the brake fluid reservoir cap! Forgot to mention that!

[@S3Ranj]

Things are coming along nicely! Although, I've had a few bumps in the road along the way. I appreciate you all supporting me! It helps me so much, and I love making content on my S3, and the build! In addition to the build content, I'm going on a few road trips this year, which I'll film, and it will be something new for the channel 😄

[@Beardchanics]

Good guide and reminds me I need to get the rear sorted on mine soon! Loving the black disk, they look great.

[@S3Ranj]

Thanks bro! Yeah the rears tend to get bad quickly. Seems like a VAG trait.

[@richardcousinsmedia3814]

well done for your perseverance and in depth explanation. pad and disc changes are a nightmare. i remeber doing mine for the first time in october 2020 with a broken hand then driving up to newcastle from London the next morning.

[@S3Ranj]

I appreciate it mate. It's not always easy doing the work yourself, but always a good feeling upon completion. I've just recorded DIY coilvers today, and my ankle is swollen from a fall a couple of days ago!! 😭😭 Keep an eye out for that video! 👍🏽

[@richardcousinsmedia3814]

@@S3Ranj I'll look out for that video. I followed your instructions for the a6 screen misters and its night and day. They should make all the audi's come like that from factory. I'll give you a shout on your instagram, maybe we can link up next month when I head back up north

Another brilliant informative video, I love your enthusiasm for the tasks ! Keep up the great work!

[@S3Ranj]

Thanks man! I really appreciate it 🙏🏼

10/10 Bang on video bro 👌🏽 📈

[@anees7988]

You’re pads have worn unevenly because of the lack of grease on the sliding pins. The greased sliding pins allows the caliper to move in and out freely, without this the calipers will seize overtime. I use silicone grease on mine as they slide through a small rubber boot. Other than that great vid bro loving the content!

[@S3Ranj]

Thanks bro 👊🏽

[@twistedl2009]

Best video, thanks for making it.

[@S3Ranj]

Thanks, appreciate bud! 🙏🏼

[@738-ngx8]

did you notice any braking power upgrade? can you abuse a bit more over the standard ones?

[@S3Ranj]

The discs are not really an upgrade in hindsight. The pads and lines you could feel the difference.

[@U01ATC8]

Does your model have the electronic handbrake? Still able to do without the diagnostic tools?

[@rickscod]

Great video bro, is this the automatic s3 with electric handbreak?

[@S3Ranj]

That's right bro!

[@AdrianTechs]

Is this an S3 8v face-lift or pre-face-lift? Didn't know the back discs come off without removing the caliper carrier!

[@S3Ranj]

@@AdrianTechs mines a facelift. But, its same for pre face lift too. Same rear brake set up.

[@danpeoples1000]

Great Video! Question: So you did NOT need to electronically release or move the brake piston (In the calipers) before or after the installation? Thanks in advance!

[@S3Ranj]

Thanks. You need to release the e-brake before installation. Then after, you need to wind the piston back flush. Then when rengage e-brake.

[@danpeoples1000]

@@S3Ranj Gotcha! Thank you - looking forward to doing my own brakes here soon. Cheers!

[@SMILEY000G]

Should have used a mirror to show. Even tho most know where but just for beginners

[@S3Ranj]

Good suggestion, thanks!

[@SMILEY000G]

@@S3Ranj looking like a beast your s3 mines in stages of getting ready not stage 3 as of yet tho, will have to get the s3s together some time

[@nikialekssandrov]

Hi, if you change electric parking brake do you need to code the new one to the ECU ?

[@S3Ranj]

I've never heard of anyone changing their electric handbrake, so not sure, sorry.

[@haych9803]

Are these discs bigger than the old ones bro ? Look sickk

[@S3Ranj]

They are exactly the same size as the OE discs bro 👍🏽
