Thank you for confirming the piston retraction. I've not long finished my first ever rear pad replacement on my Audi A5 with all going OK until I heard someone say you have to wind back the piston or it could lead to a damaged calliper. I genuinely didn't know this as mine was pushed back easily, like the front ones. Thank you for your short explanation in this as I can now breath a sigh of relief. Out of interest how much does the rear brake pads get used for braking, do they get used in conjunction with the front ones or are they more for emergency braking and handbrake? Reason I ask is the front callipers are bigger so why aren't the ones at the back the same. Thanks
Glad you found my video helpful!!! In regards of rear brakes they do get used at the same time with front ones .. front ones one larger simply cos they take more load force of ur entire car 🚗 weight and rear ones kind of helping them to slow ur car down… this is how law of physics works.. unless in reversing, but u don’t reverse at the crazy speed I hope 😂 some cars like Mercedes and Nissan for example using rear brake pads for braking when driving and brake shoes for handbrake… hope this helps and thanks for commenting!!! 👍 🤜
@@jersovauto Nice one thanks for that and yes it does make sense now you've explained it regarding load. I went out afterwards to bed the brakes in and check they were working but wasn't sure how much they were actually getting used. I now know they are, well until I get my MOT next week and that'll be the real test. Thanks again mate. You got another subscriber.👍
@@care2000 first you have to put ur rear brakes into the “service mode” using an OBDII scanner… and then use brake caliper rewinding kit to push the pistons back in… 👍
It’s a pity I didn’t film it…:/ just plug it in inside your car into diagnostics (obdII) port… and then this obdII reader connects via Bluetooth to your phone…you will need and application for your phone as well… i left the link … perhaps u can google it too … hope it helps 👍
Good morning should I buy front and rear brake pads do you need the license plate number or the chassis of the car audi a4 disel 2018
@@alessandroscialla3271 hi, usually if you provide reg number of ur car it’s sufficient 👍

how did you push the pistons in if you don't mind me asking?
@@care2000 I used one of those piston retraction tools I got from Amazon.

Thanks for the video, was very good information, do the rotors need replacing or shaving?
Really depends on condition of brake discs …in my case it was still plenty of life left in them… thank you for watching and commenting!!! 👍

Hi thanks for replying.
How do connect that OBD reader?

Can you do this with the car running if you ain't got a obd and release the parking break
