Volkswagen Atlas Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Replacement DIY (2018-2021 VW Atlas MQB, Cross Sport)

[@timhuey1]

Thank you Sir! I was able to replace the Rotors and pads all around on my '21 Atlas. Your tips were extremely helpful and cost effective.

[@leechrisj]

Crazy helpful. Made changing the pads a breeze compared to headache. Thanks

[@Kim_jung_un517]

Very informative and clear. Thanks!

[@ScrappyDoo8028]

Great video. I have the same brake system but own a Seat Ateca. The workshop manual says torque the pins to 25 Nm (not 35 as you’ve said and another similar video on here). What should I follow?

[@fox88nick]

you only need to take the top slide pin out, pivot the caliper on the lower pin and remove the caliper

[@fcpeuro]

Great note!

[@kevinsturtevant272]

So can I rent the tool to set the car in service mode for the EPB? I was ready to do this today before I watched this video. Ugh. Great video tho! Short and sweet

[@JoseLopez-md8xz]

Is it the same process for a 2022 atlas?

[@김기주-b6m]

please tell me the order of operation of OBD,rear brake pad explacement

[@metalartistdanielrocha2368]

Question! Do you nessary have to use that little computer device to change out the brake?

[@fcpeuro]

You need a scan tool to put the electronic parking brake in a service position. You may be able to find alternatives online for doing so without a scanner!

[@atulmehla8401]

Could you do videos on VW Taos as well please? both front and rear would be great!

[@rayw8177]

how much different is the 2017 touarge wolfsburg set up?

[@ShivoneRampersad]

7mm alan key works also no special tool needed.

[@UndeadCatapilla1]

ok so it doesnt really make sense why my shop would charge me $500 just for labor right? thats like 3hrs for just the brake pads....

[@CL500MBZ]

Great video. Can you do another for 2020 passat??❤❤❤

[@fcpeuro]

Will be on our list coming up!

[@Rrrafael.00]

Is this possible without electronically removing the parking brake? Can I just turn it off with the parking brake button?

[@fcpeuro]

You need to set the parking brake back (what the scanner does) to be able to push in the piston and install new pads. Simply turning off the parking brake will not allow enough room for the new pads and rotors.

[@Rrrafael.00]

@@fcpeuro so.... I disconnected the electronics and was able to push in the piston all the way. Got it all put back together but now my parking brake button is flashing. I think I'll need the scan tool to turn that off...

[@tylerdoyle984]

@@Rrrafael.00hahaha I’m sorry man but you probably broke it. That’s why you use the tool to retract it.

[@Rrrafael.00]

@@tylerdoyle984 nah it wasn't broke. Quick fix at the auto mechanic around the corner. Glad u got some joy out of thinking I broke my car. But I'm happy to report there were no issues.

[@tylerdoyle984]

@@Rrrafael.00 I was laughing in pain with you, lol in the past I have done that exact thing and had to replace the electronics

[@Mos-Hlub]

Wait these cars don’t have brake sensors that need replacing?

[@fcpeuro]

A lot of these do not!

[@ClimbingColorado]

Thanks for the video!

[@fcpeuro]

😎👍

[@agustinportillo8905]

Great job!!!

[@peterkellen1549]

Is computer tool necessary for e-brake? Can I still compress piston without it for the home diy mechanic?

[@defomatt2684]

No. You can’t. Not if it had an electronic parking brake

[@invertedpolarity6890]

What's with all the brake change videos lately? BMW F15/E70 X5 engine mount change on xDrive vehicles. There is very little info out there on this.

[@fcpeuro]

Noted!
