- Changing the rear brakes on the 2022 VW Taos base model.
We used the carista app/plug in first- put the Electronic parking brake into service mode. You have to do this (have heard of other plug system to use to do it too) in order to push brake piston back in when changing the brakes and to avoid any complications with the system.
We are by no means professionals but did our research in order to avoid $800+ at the dealership. We played with different tools to use but found it easier to use what’s in the video! I’ll list links below.
The pads have already been replaced in the video but we filmed and took it all apart to show you all how easy it can be!

Just did this to mine a couple days ago. The carista app didn’t work for me. But it wasn’t hard to manually retract the electronic brake. A few extra streps that were pretty simple. Dealership and other places will try to scare you with the EPB. But if you have the tools and have done a brake change before you shouldn’t have a problem.
Nice job! Offspring in the background a good choice too! Just did mine today on my 22 Taos FWD SE. Ours used a 7mm hex bit for those caliper pins, not a T45 Torx bit, strange :) Used the 12v from the battery to tap into the brake motor to fully retract it, worked well if you don't have the app. Simple job from start to finish, looks like yours was a snap too! FWIW our factory rear pads were almost shot at 16k miles, hopefully the new ceramics will last 3x that :)
Should have been free. There is a service bulletin that covers replacement.
I had mine replaced at 20K. VW refunded the cost of repair due to fact it should have lasted longer. Reach out to them!
@@CaydenKeeth2025 ours wore out prior to that TSB, have since got rid of the Taos, just not a good car for us.
Hey question everybody’s talking about the EPB looking to do my brakes and rotors not quite understanding what’s going on with this saw your Post thought you might know any tips will be appreciated
Agree, should be using a 7mm or you will be charging the bolt soon
Might of missed it but why didn't you lube the caliper pins?
Thanks!
Going to give this a try.
Been a while
What did you use to pull the E brake back
Where did u go? Only one video? What about other repairs?
I haven’t done any other repairs. This was shared as the brakes wearing down early was an issue for many and they were charging us $800+ to do them at VW before they finally put a recall out on them.
@@ashleetrzyna1 i was just charge $686+ to do mines. Along with some other repairs, totalling $4043+tax. And i'm planning to do most myself. That's why i came here, looking for guidance :)
@@ashleetrzyna1 which would be my 4th change in under 2 years, which also, i just continue to ignore because it costs sooo much
Looking closely, does anyone know if you even have to remove the brake caliper bracket to replace the rotors? I know this isn't needed on the VW Atlas for instance.
Can you explain how you used the Carista app? Is this a plug-in device?
yes, you get the device plug it in and get the app with it. then you can access diff settings for the car, in this case it would be putting the brakes into service mode which retracts the electronic parking brake.
When I went to slide the caliper back onto the new pads, it barely wouldn't fit. I made sure the piston was compressed all the way, did you run into this issue at any point?
Yes
How were u able to retract the brakes
carista app
get the carista device (or another obd device) plug it in, put brakes into service mode through the device & app. I talk about it in the description under the video.
I have a 2022 taos as well AWD and they said my calipers are operated by a computer and they said the dealership needs to do them wants to charge me $1100.... I think they're full of sh*t
Yeah, that sounds like bs. Mine isn’t AWD but essentially using the OBD tool you’re putting the parking brake into service mode to release it, which is the only thing I’d assume is controlled by a computer. I don’t know much but maybe the video will help and avoid the $1100. We got the warranty extension just after replacing my brakes at home- no help VW. Lol
@ashleetrzyna1 what about an electric parking brake that does require a computer and software to retract?
@@technerdgaming9259 mine does, that’s what the obd adapter is for. Connect to car and put it into service mode, it will retract so you can work on the brakes
@@ashleetrzyna1 can you link me one?
@@technerdgaming9259 I used carista
what are the torque specs on the caliper pin bolts and carrier bolts?
I found an online manual and it appears the pins are spec'd to 26 ft/lbs and the carrier bolts are 67 ft/lbs + 90 degrees. In case anyone is curious. Apparently no one on TH-cam ever bothers to torque brake bolts or use blue LokTite.
@@hoselrocket2001 Do you have a link to that online manual? I tried finding a Chiltons or Haynes for the 2022 Taos, but can't find one.
