“I like to use the least amount of tools possible because not everyone has a lot of tools” - the proceeds to use 3x the tools I use to do my brakes lol 😂

Thks for walk thru. Only thing missing was the need to torque bolts to specific values and I think they suggest lock tight but could be wrong on that. Front brakes are good way to learn how to do a brake job. The rears are a little more complicated with the electronic energy take system

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I don’t give torque specifications on my page. I leave that to the viewers discretion so that I am not liable in any way. I just show how things are physically done in my videos. New factory pads come with new caliper bolts which have new micro encapsulation (lock-tight). As far as aftermarket pads, you would have to apply new lock-tight if they don’t come with bolts. Yup, for the rear you need a scan tool to retract the E-Brake then from there is is fairly similar other than twisting in the caliper piston. Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already, thanks!

Well organized video! Was that actually anti-sieze you applied to the new pad ears? Looked like it. I think i would use some lock-tite on the 7mm caliper pin bolts too? And of course torque the caliper bracket bolts... but everyone doing this job had better at least know that step😮.

Thank you! Sure was, that’s how they come from the factory! Lock tight on those is never a bad idea. Absolutely, torque everything. I just don’t give out torque specifications on my page to cut down on any kind of liability. I leave that research up to the viewers. Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already, thanks!

Excellent video, can you please tell me how to reset the electric parking brake so it can release please?

@@anthonygeorges8575 Thank you! For the rear, you will need a scan tool that can read the modules and not just read codes. You will go into “Electronic Parking Brake” and use a function to put it into service mode. Once you’re done, you will use the scan tool to take it out of service mode. Hope this helps!

Hey I've got an issue my mk6 gti, the gas cap won't open, I tried unlocking the doors and everything. It stays locked. Love the vids btw

Sometimes the lock actuator behind the door gets stuck or completely stops working altogether. Sometimes you can get get lucky if you stand next to it with your key and hit unlock while you lightly hit the door with the pinky side of your fist. If not, you would have to gain access to it by removing the passenger rear wheel and fender liner. There is a physical switch covered in a small boot on the back side of the actuator. Once you switch it open you could get the door open. When you get to that point it would probably be smart to just replace it. You have to remove the door assembly and framing that goes around the filler neck/gas cap as one piece. I have done plenty of these. Pretty common part failure. I appreciate it, trying to release one ever week now.

If my brakes are squeaking, does that mean it is time for replacement? I haven’t had them replaced in a long time.
@RedsVolkswagenRepair

That can be a symptom that they are due for replacement, most brake pads have a piece built in that causes the brakes to squeal when they get low. It could also just be the type of material the brake pads are, some are not as quiet as others.
