@@LMAutoRepairs that's a clever response. Don't tell me which one, so I have to watch up to 47 videos that you've made since this one to find out the answer.
I have issue now with my clutch do my brakes amd pads and my clutch lost the power no more pull.back when I realised the pedal stays on the feet and not pulling back feel soft I just bought it the car and the clutch was perfect but when I done brakes and disc clutch is now lost
I had too similar "tool" to open the wheel nuts. Only it was very soft and it twist the tool. Sure, the nuts was too tight. Previous car owner/workshop used the full beans on "torque" the nuts.
@@russell301 The day you need to remove bolts that you feel they are going to snap... you will wish the last person working on it, would have put some grease on them... believe me.. it is scaring...
The torque rating is designed with no grease. Ive seen an argument that a tiny amount of anti-sieze is fine in places where they tend to corrode on. If you use grease you would need to de-rate the torque somehow. Can of worms.
@16:30 this function has to be use only to push into (or pull outside) the piston of brake caliper while are you changing brake pads. There is nothing to do with malfunction indicatior or whatever.. with this warning about brakepad (its autohide/ autoremove/ self-hiddening [whatever..]) and this is just for information your mind to tell you - you finally have to do it - and yes if the sensor is triggered well you will no get more this wear warning (until next requirement of brakes pads changing).
Great video, did you not need to bleed the brake system when replacing the pads? Been a good few years since I did the pads and discs and remember bleeding them.
Look at those pad imprints on the rotors. you have 1 more screw to take out to change them. How much are you really saving? The pads on those rotors won't last as long. Sure you're labor is free but if you're going to post a video on how to do a brake job properly, do it properly and change the rotors or have them machined at the very least.
I can only do what the owner of the car is willing to pay for... What did you expect? For me put discs and pay for them myself just to look pretty on the video? The idea was to show the process of the job... not to tell anyone what they should or not change... that is not up to me... I can only advise... Thank you for watching!
Hi there. Your video is awesome and I'm sure it will help many people with Brake pad replacement. I can agree about not greasing the pins. Grease, especially copper compound , will cause the rubber bushes to swell and eventually they will get brittle. This model caliper doesn't come with any grease from the factory. A floating caliper with sealed guide pins uses grease (where a steel guide pin runs inside a steel caliper bracket with a rubber dust boot)... Pins that run through a rubber bush don't need grease as the pin is stainless steel and designed to work without grease. Applying grease to the back of the pads is common practice to stop Brake noise. Just make sure that no grease gets onto the friction material or caliper rubbers. Using a screw driver to push the piston back can cause damage to the piston or bend the pins, there are tools to retract caliper pistons but a G-clamp works great too. The window that you pushed the screwdriver into is an inspection window to check the pad wear, not to force the piston back. Great work the rest of the way, great to see mechanics that are willing to teach others!

Thanks for this video. I've searched everywhere and didn't find anything.
Great explanations and great job!
Many thanks from Belgium.

Why did you put copper grease on the brakes?
Already answered that on another video...

Short answer...
Ran out of the proper grease...

Thanks for sharing Bro👍 I'm really enjoying this series of repairs on this vehicle, & like always we enjoy doing brake jobs😉

Can you push the front pistons back with an electronic handbrake?
The front ones?
Not really...

Have a great day.
How do you know which side you need to check whether is front wheel or back wheel
Hi
What do you men?
Very good video 👍
Thanks!

Será igual num golf mk7 gtd com o pack sport and sound? Tem travagem ligeiramente maior
Muito similar...👍👍👍
Which size/specs are the break pads?
I had too similar "tool" to open the wheel nuts. Only it was very soft and it twist the tool. Sure, the nuts was too tight. Previous car owner/workshop used the full beans on "torque" the nuts.
Not sure grease on wheel bolts is good practice, won't it affect the way it torques down ?
Don't think it does...
Thank you for watching!
@@insidergreece7636 not on wheel bolts!

In other videos they show that you need to push the piston back in but obviously you don't need to do that to get the caliper back in?
At 4:30 I am doing exactly that...
Thank you for watching!
Top work mate 👍👍👍
Thanks Igor....

Thanks for your video
Thanks for watching and for your comment!
wish the weather was better here I cant get my pads done as it keeps bloody raining? at least I can watch you do some pads to see what im missing lol
Weather here is not very good at the moment...
This was recorded last March or something...lol

Which pads do you recommend for MK7 1.6 tdi ? Brembo or pagid
I would probably go Brembo...
Just my opinion...😋
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs I’ve seen on euro car parts they they 2 types of brembo are they the same ? And how can I find which one I need.
Great video, did you not need to bleed the brake system when replacing the pads? Been a good few years since I did the pads and discs and remember bleeding them.
No.
No need to bleed anything if the only thing you are doing is the pads or discs...
Thank you for watching!
Nice and clean job........
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Are those lines cracks
On the discs?
No... just rust marks...

Grease the pins is not correct. They works without grease.
They come greased from factory...
Sure the manufacturer would not do it if not needed...
