Do i pump the brakes before ending linning?

[@MrJalesh1]

Hi, i changed the pads on my audi a6, i opened the parking brake and released the piston manually, now i keep getting parki g brake fault on dash. Any ideas why? Thanks

[@TheEryk03]

you broke the hand brake

[@stepelli90]

Can be an electronic problem that can be solved with VCDS? I've the same issue and the motor works but it's like it brake and release because the position of the motor it's not "resetted" or "calibrated". Maybe the last command after the pads changing in the video can solve. What do you think?

Can I leave the car on if I don’t have a battery charger?

[@GendanAuto]

For safety reasons, the engine shouldn't be running while you perform a pad change. A good battery charger is recommended.

Why do in need a battery charger attached???

[@aec7557]

if you have a healthy battery, you don't need to attach a charger. it's a good failsafe to have in place tho.

The break module does not like low voltage hence the charger.
