I always feel much more confident seeing a European working on Audis. Always more thorough and follow correct procedures to a t. It really is essential for these cars
Just watched this Asian guy do break pad/rotors on a sq5, guy even used same obd reader. Amazing job - I’m European lol was surprised too 😂. These KZhead guys are a blessing, special place in heaven for them
Just used this to fix the rear brake caliper on a 2017 Mercedes Benz E-class (W213). The housing and bracket looks different but the mechanism is exactly the same. Thanks for helping us out!
You saved me with The reassembly!! Thank you!!!!
Really good video! I'm keeping this bookmarked just in case i end up buying a passat 3c.
nice job looks like pro work 👍
Superb video, thank you.
Very very beautiful! Not many videos in youtube like that ;)
Very nice and informative video. Thanks a lot!!! Im subscribing :D
Very very good! Thanks!
Sangat memuaskan hasilnya...👍
Bloody lifesaver, thanks!
Great job bravo
Nice job 👍👍👍
best one I watch until now wonderfull :-) but do you have any video how to disassemble the caliper from the car my frend
Will appear soon ;) Regards
Nice job,bravooooo
Now any insight on doing this on a VW Atlas? The shaft inside has a lot of tiny little balls and springs that dislodged itself on me. I think I have to just buy new calipers, it doesnt look like I can re assemble this thing!
Thanks for a great video. Just did a rebuild of my EPB caliper, Golf 7 2014. Only got one question. How do you bleed the caliper when installed again?
Wouldn't you jump pump the brake to fill the caliper then open the brake line to pump out any air bubbles?
Great video thanks. One question do you happen to know what causes the screeching sound when applying the ebrake?
Wait until you are stopped before applying the ebrake :) Seriously though, sounds like the motor mechanism has dried up. Maybe pop the motor off and chuck some grease in. They do make some noise anyway though, maybe normal?
Many thanks for a well presented and informative video. I had hoped that my Golf Mk7, which has an EPB, would have a similar caliper. But I was wrong. When I removed the piston about 20 tiny ball bearings fell out ! Could you please tell me if it is possible to re-assemble the mechanism or have I ruined the caliper ?
I'm in the same boat. Tons of tiny ball bearings, springs, and a long spring that was kind of mangled. Did you end up just replacing the caliper?
Truth about all these caliper painting videos. If you don’t have an access to a send blaster, don’t even think about painting your calipers! And if you think you can do a good job with a wire wheel attached to your drill? Well, good luck with that!😂
I have exact same caliper. Cannot find where this kit is sold. Please send link to a website. My caliper is dripping inside the servo motor and filling it with oil.
Do you know what size thread the bolt is that goes through the caliper and holds the piston in?
Hi There, What kind of brake inner assemble paste? can you please share a link?
It would have been more helpful had the producer of this video identified the specific name and retailer source for the two different lubricants he used for the cylinder and caliper parts.
Yeah, the video is very informative but what’s up with using replacement parts from non-existing source?
What brand and part number are the seals ?
Can someone please tell me which wires should be power or ground to retrofit these 2007 D2 A8L calipers to another car? Which of the smaller wires are signal/trigger wires to activate the electromagnetic solenoid and clamp the rotor? Thank you
What type of lubricants did you use for the rings?
Most likely silicone paste. He's using ate brake cylinder assembly paste.
The handbrake mechanism is taking forever to thread in, I had to use a T45 on the teeth side and and crescent wrench on the gear side to thread in

It's really a shame to make such a great job and film it in such bad light.
