@patrickbuckman71528 жыл бұрын
Any bolt that has a torque spec of XX Nm +90° (or whatever it may be) should be replaced every time that it is taken off. VW has engineered the metallurgy of that bolt to stretch when it was installed correctly to prevent it from working loose through vibration. VW loves to use them on critical components. Those stretch bolts are therefore weakened from their initial use, and one risks them snapping when reusing them.

@eod_dan57454 жыл бұрын
This video doesn't show bleeding the brake lines while compressing the caliper piston. If your brakes are being replaced due to wearing out, you should bleed your lines while compressing. If you do not, it can damage your ABS control module. Additionally, check your Brake Fluid reservoir to see if it is overfilled. Mechanics routinely top up brake fluid as pads wear down. When you put on new pads, less fluid is needed due to the pistons being compressed. If your fluid level is good, I would do a full bleed and replace your brake fluid, there are plenty of videos on youtube and it is not as difficult as it looks. This may resolve your ABS issues, unless the module is damaged. I know I am 5 months late, but I hope this helps.
