    They call it advance technology If you need to use a electronic device just to push the break pad piston. The right term of this is “greed technology” or “nonsense technology.”

      @Will Senger you are correct but this will not calibrate the system and may still leave you stranded with a locked up EBrake so be ready to release your brakes according to other videos. We can stop using the EBrake and no more worries. We can build modification with a bypass switch to do what you have identified as one possibility for reoccurring problems hehehe. We could hear the piston being pushed out until the brake was locked and then pulled back into the caliper a little where it is properly calibrated and the module knows exactly where it is located now.

    I tried this job. This is a great video. I pulled out the plug on the servo motor and connected two terminals and provided 12V current. The motor retracted with no problems. I accidentally hit the parking brake button at which point car started showing me an error about tire monitor being unavailable or so. I finished the job, ran the car and within 1min driving, the error went away.

  • @PeterB12345
    @PeterB12345 4 года назад +9

    Nice video dude. An easy way to get around all these silly scan tool steps is a 12v battery. Remove connector and stick the wires from the battery into the holes on the motor-side connector. Switch polarity to make the motor turn the other way. Works for cycling the solenoid on the brake system too (when you're flushing fluid). It's important to remember that all these components are just waiting for a 12v signal... Big companies want us to buy fancy tools because they think we can't figure that out.

      Hi, how about how to recalibrate again the piston by using the 12volts battery? Should i just switch again the polarities? Or it recallibrates automatically when i press the breaks and the parking break button?

    • @PeterB12345
      @PeterB12345 3 года назад +2

      @@aronmontero9170 Depends a bit on the car, they're all a bit different. I'd reverse polarity to see if the motor puts the piston back in place. Most likely it will. The final position/calibration should be something the computer does provided the piston is near. Some models will likely put the piston back in place automatically even when fully retracted. It's important to experiment a little bit and see how your computer reacts and of course test your final setup before you use it in a real life situation.

    This is a high quality, clear video.
    The key points are explained clearly, and the parts of the job that are obvious are fast forwarded through so it doesn't waste time.
    If I have to be picky - I never put vise-grips on a good nut or bolt, I'll grind an old wrench narrower to fit in place.
    I want the peaks and flats on the hex there for when that bolt becomes corroded and I need them.
    Otherwise, pretty close to perfect service video.

    You don't need any scan tool to do this job and you don't have to take off the ebrake motor either. All electric ebrakes are the same, they just use a window motor to apply the brake. So all you have to do is disconnect the wires to the motor and apply 12 volts to one terminal on the motor and ground the other. If it tightens up the brake then reverse the wires until the ebrake is completely retracted motor stops turning. Install the pads and apply 12 volts to the motor until it tightens up the brake and than reverse wires again until wheel turns free. At this point apply the ebrake from inside the car and release. You are now finished and can pump up the brake pedal and road test. One word to the wise, make sure you open the bleeder to the caliper before pushing the piston back, due not push the fluid back into the master cylinder.

      Brake fluid is one of those things that doesn't go anywhere,your either fine or you have a leak.
      What happens in many cases is people let their pads go way low and of course the fluid goes waaaay low also,then a son or brother or whatever borrows the car and goes "wow, look at that master cylinder its almost empty" then proceeds to fill it to the top, guess what happens when a poor sod puts new pads on the car and pushes the piston in? biiiig mess!!!
      If no one has messed with your reservoir leave it alone!! when you put new pads in it it will go back exactly where it was when the pad was new, no need to open the bleeders period. proper procedure is to SLOWLY push your piston back in and your good, no need to open bleeders although opening your master cylinder cap is not a bad idea but not necessary, the key is to go real slow.

      The rain sensor and the calipers works together, if it is too moist/wet when you drive, the pads will slightly apply pressure on the rotors to prevent moisture between rotor and pad.
      If you don't calibrate, you probably get excessive wear on the pads and maybe damages the piston/piston seals.

    Can you tell me if a 2015 Golf "Launch Edition", the cheapest version of the MK6 Golf, should have an electric E brake? I can't see any electrical connectors. Back in August a local shop changed both rear calipers and pads. They started dragging, heating up. I complained and complained and got nowhere with local shops and dealers. Finally I got a local shop to loosen the "E brake cable", which I assume tells me there is no electric brake. The brakes don't heat up as much, but my MPG is still 30% below normal, and I get a quick, double "pop" from the rear when I first apply the brakes. Crummy service here. I don't do my own service because Lyme disease left me dizzy and weak years ago.

      You can elect with proper training to open the EPB housing using the two torx head screws and retract the electric part manually, but spray first with penetrating lub like wd-40 first so as not to crack the housing, then on the caliper side using the appropriate T40 or T45 torx bit to turn the electric part clockwise until it stops. Then proceed with the rest of the job like you normally would. Peace

      @@fcpeuro Ok. I will double check. Have to take the wheel off anyway ;) My Passat does have a button on the left of the dash that IS some kind of electrical brake. I hear a motor of some kind making noise when I push the button. I use it when parking on a hill or when I want the car to have the key in battery mode to power the 12V sockets but have the stupid daylight running lights turn off.

    • @wesleyhurd3574
      @wesleyhurd3574 5 лет назад +1

      Yes B6 Passat has the electronic parking brake. He did the procedure wrong. The first thing he should have done was to retract the parking brake to the service position. The electronic parking brake should NEVER be operated while disassembled. It is also important to follow the procedure EXACTLY, without skipping any steps shown on the scan tool. The EPB is a temperamental bastard and will totally fuck up your day if you don't follow procedure.

      Rotors on these cars don't have much extra material on them. They don't typically get turned on a brake lathe because the rotor would end up being too thin. I remember hearing a recommendation to change the rotors every other time the pads are changed.

      If the rotor has to be replaced so does the pads. Most likely the rotor was warped so the pads were going to mess the rotor again.
