Wow! The brake piston magically receded back far enough that it fit right back on the new pads!

The video presents a high-level overview of a rear brake job on a B6 Passat; this is clearly not a step by step DIY video. I greatly appreciate that the video identifies the proper Torx bits required for the job. Major shortcomings are: 1. The obvious failure to tell people you have to retract the rear electric parking brake as mentioned by more than one person in the comments. There are various videos how to do this retraction manually or with the proper computer tool on KZbin. 2. Mechanics are instructed to NEVER let a brake caliper hang by it's rubber hose while changing brake pads; support it with a bungie cord or a box stack up if bungie grab points are not available. 3. Torque values. As mentioned by another member, it is always nice to have the torque values presented in these videos. 4. Please tell people to lube the caliper guide pins. The mechanic in this video completely ignored this step. If you are at the point you need to replace the caliper, it's time to re-lube the guide pins. AutoDoc, thank you for providing the overall video, but attention to these details will make your videos, parts and product sales that much better.

[@ALLTHINGSCINEMA24]

I like how the bracket bolts came out so seamlessly with only first try., Either that bracket had been removed before or you "braked" the bolts with impact.. I worked on my and gave all the hand torque I had with bar but needed impact wrench

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! We are glad that our tutorial was helpful for you. Your opinion and remarks are very important for us. We will take them into consideration for our next tutorial. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@Kopa_Malphas]

Soooo the reason for watching this video is to get that freaking electronic parking brake retracted....Thanks for nothing.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! Your opinion and remarks are very important for us. We will take them into consideration for our next tutorial. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@hedrick5286]

You gotta have a diagnostic computer that has the ability to retract them.

[@honorableD]

@@hedrick5286 no u can do it manually as well

[@dtownblasta]

@@honorableD How so? I'm stuck. Please help. Thank you

[@10feetup]

@@dtownblasta give this a watch, take the motor off, use a t40 to manualy wind it back, kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHi7eIWDgbamg7c

[@cotarlauroman1]

I think the video is not complete.. there is an EPB (Electronic Parking Brake ) that needs to be retracted ! Other than that you guys have pretty good videos...

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! The video describes the general principle of the brake pads replacement. We would recommend to adress to the local professionals to fix the hand brake if there occur any issues with it. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@Peter_Riis_DK]

autodoc.co.uk That reply implies you have no idea what the issue is and that you are not a skilled mechanic.

[@reviziecutiebuftea]

@@autodocuk daca tot faceti un filmulet, respectati toate procedurile. Ati uitat sa mentionati ca este obligatoriu sa fie folosit testerul pentru a retrage placutele.

[@A.Dude.]

There is no thing as a TORX 14mm! The right description is "Triple square MT14". Also, I'm stunned by the fact that you don't even consider using a torque wrench. Besides that, I like the fact that you keep it clean. You might also add for this task, that a VW dedicated scanner, or one which has MAINTENANCE features built in, will be ideal to be used to retract the elector-mechanic brake, falsely known as "electronic brake".

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the valuable clarification, Your feedback is very important to us in order to understand how to demonstrate in more detail in our new videos. Best Regards, Autodoc team.

[@mariod5760]

Ebrake need VCDS or VAGCOM, the carrier bolts need triple square bit 14 mm and they have a TON of torque on them!!! With jackstands not enough room to maneuver the breaker bar.....but got it done finally!

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your valuable remark! It will be very informative for our subscribers to read. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@lampshade766]

I removed the 2 bolts holding the brake caliper and it did not move. So now that i know the cliper sits with only 2 bolts, i will just beat the living poop out of them until they loosen. Thank you mr autodoc!

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! We are glad you find our video interesting and informative. Stay tuned. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@richmac9732]

What about rewinding the caliper and motor

[@autodocuk]

Please clarify or rephrase your question. Best Regards, Autodoc team.

[@FelixRisingOriginal]

You didn't include torque values required, and some steps like cleaning hub and applying molybdenum high temp grease to caliper locator pins.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! All torque specs are indicated in the technical documentation on the vehicle maintenance, you can find them out at the official car dealer. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@ArdiArdi-cg5pr]

I watched this video because of that electronic stuff, btw you have to clean the oil and grease from the brand new disc brakes with a degreaser.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your attention to the details! You are absolutely right, the discs should be cleaned of shipping oil. However, there are discs with anti-corrosion coating, they do not need to be cleaned before installation. Best Regards, Autodoc Team!

[@lukasz-or8dq]

It is spline m14 not torx

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! We have made the mistakes in the subtitles. You will need XZN spline to replace it. Thank you for your being attentive. Best regards, Autodoc.

How many nm does it shrink to?

[@autodocuk]

The Rear disc brake caliper - 35 Nm / Use new screw (s). The Rear disc brake caliper bracket - 90 Nm + 90 ° / Use new screws AUTODOC

[@ericcervantes663]

Does anyone know what brand impact and ratchet he's using?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! The video is quite old, unfortunately its not possible definitely answer your question. Best Regards, Autodoc!

[@BadgerBadgerBadger28]

Remove the motor and wind back the adjuster in the back of the calliper 6mm Allen key Refit motor and job done Just press parking brake and you’ll hear motor weer until it takes up the slack

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your valuable clarification! For our viewers it will be a very useful information. Best regards, Autodoc!

[@ioeu504]

and yet that is NOT how to do it . after a while you will ,,upset'' Parking Brake and it will flag a fault as WM has 3 procedures - retract pistons via computer prior to install new pads, fw piston after replacing and basic settings after to ensure good function of parking brake and/or auto-hold function.

[@sjoep92]

I tried this and the motor on the caliper is now broken. You definitely need a computer for the module and ajust the motors. Nothing beats a simple, analog, ebrake with a cable.

[@gilberjj]

Fantastic video! However, I don't believe this Passat is equipped with the Electronic Parking Brake which must be retracted in order to install the new pads.

[@autodocuk]

This car has a standard device for its configuration and has no structural changes in the brake system. The video shows the sequence of replacing the brake discs and brake pads as required by the rules of technical VW PASSAT B6 service. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@panserbj0rn]

I'm sorry, but the hardest part of this process is retracting the electronic parking brake motor to push in the caliper piston. Why was this not shown in the video?

[@gilberjj]

I was able to successfully do this manually by winding the piston back with an allen. I believe it can also be done with a torx.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! Your opinion and remarks are very important for us. We will take them into consideration for our next tutorial. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@johnovegas]

why not replace the hardware, and remove the rust from the caliper bracket and faces?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! We will consider it , when making our new videos. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@liammcgeehotmail]

Because the bracket bolts come off that easy ? Bullshit

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback!This video is considered to be an informative one, and it is approximate. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@pto200]

Lousy video. I shoulda watched Sesame Street, would have been educational at least.

[@alljoy6541]

This video didn't show that in order to retract the ebrake you have to remove the motor and the turn and push the piston in, in order to retract it manually. It is a spline bit to remove the brake caliper bracket and not a torx. This information is incorrect, and not professional.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback and your valuable clarification, we understand that mistakes were made during the replacement and we have already corrected all the nuances in the new videos and try to show the replacements using specials tool. Please stay tuned with us. Best Regards, Autodoc team!

[@greenstar3411]

Joke!!!! You need piston tool - not cheep! NO Mention of THIS !!!!

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback. You are absolutely right, but in the new videos, we have already added this tool. Best regards, Autodoc team.

[@greenstar3411]

autodoc.co.uk Thanks, i’ll ck it out... basically up front it is critical to know this - or you will be standing there with pants down at 10pm wondering how your going to get to work in the morning. Also... those two big bolts are a beast w lock washers and need a breaker bar.
