Very good!!! you’ve saved me a fortune, Here in Norway it costs between 450 - 500 pounds to replace pads, doing it myself now. Cheers!!!
When pushing piston use the bleeder value. The fluid nearest the caliper is often the fluid which gets warmest and dirtiest. Rather than force this "dirty" fluid back into the system allow it to bleed. It can always be replaced with new fluid in the resovir if need be. Also turn the wheel so that it is easier work on bolts behind.
With my taxi miles I replace brake pads very often, so I don't see much point of hassle replacing brake fluid and bleeding and making sure that there's no air trapped in for every pad change.
I'll just replace fluid in whole system once in a while.
Thanks for the video and the full description link .The disc you are changing looks good to me
You're very welcome 👍
That camera view was set on "fish eye", discs weren't that great. I don't remember by now, but probably they also could have been deformed and causing vibrations when braking on high speed.
Thank you so much...I've just found your channel and this is fantastic information. May God bless you
Thanks, Abdul 😊👍
Great job I have seat Alhambra 2014 the same system thanks
You're very welcome, Shams :)
Done this dozens of times ,but on my recent Alhambra Can`t shift the two 27m caliper bolts even with 2 foot long extension on the wrench ,might have to go to a garage with a lift to get more access ,it`s not always as simple as the video shows
Excellent video.very good
Thanks 😊
keep up the good work mate! do some on bleeding brakes, diagnostic, lightbulbs, fuel filters, clutch fluid etc..i've a 7N Alhambra so your vids are great for me. cheers matey! :)
Thanks for your comments Tim 👍
I have already most of what you mentioned.. I'm thinking to renew brake fluid (330K on a clock 😉), just need to find time.
Bravo, mnogo podrobno.
Excellent! I discover your videos today and as I have a 7N too it will help me lot as I planned to carry out the full maintenance in few weeks. Can you give us a good reference tool to bleed the brake system? I saw a lot on Amaz.. and I don't know wich one to choose. Thank for your time. And happy new year in advance ;)
Sorry, just found your comment. I have a video about clutch replacement, it is 2 hours long, I use a pressurised bleeder there at the end on 1:46:30
Mine mistake again.... i double checked and you are 100% right. Do you enjoy the new one as mine is quite a disaster as it was all life as a taxi since 2010 and it needs something fone all the time
Krzysztof Sieniuc So far mine doesn't have any problem, but it has done only 70k. I'm a taxi driver myself, so it's gonna have a lot of miles. My previous car was Audi A6 (C6 4F), it had few weak spots, so my videos about that Audi are quite popular. But this bad boy (sharan) just doesn't brake, so I don't know what to film. After holiday, I'm planning to do cambelt.. And then we'll see how it goes..
Thanks a lot for the upload!
You're very welcome 👍 Please check the website too..
Great videos
Thanks 😎👍
Great video !!:) Are the break fluid going back into "ABS sensor" when piston is pushed back, or is that not a problem ?
Thank, very good!
You're welcome :)
Hello, first of all thank-you for your videos. I followed this guide and replaced my Alhambra front rotors and brake pads.
I'm thinking about doing same operation with rear ones. Is it same procedure? Or there is something to take into account with electric parking brake (that's my main concern). A big thank you for you.
Thank you :) I replaced my rear pads just couple month ago, but didn't have time to make a video at that moment, but with the mileage I do, it will take no more than a year, till I do it again.
Regarding parking brake - I have little diagnostics device Foxwell NT500. I used it for my previous car (Audi A6) and it works on this one.
With diagnostics software it's easy - select option to open/rewind parking brake, car winds them back as far as they go, you take calipers off. But, even from that position you have to push them back with that tool. Unlike pistons on the front, not only they need to be pressed in, but also turned at the same time. The rest is pretty much the same. Once it's done, select option to close parking brake.
If you don't have anything to "tell" your car to unwind and wind calipers... The I don't have much experience. I know that garages who didn't have a computer used to refuse to change pads for my Audi.
The motor for caliper can be removed (2 screws on sides), then you can rewind manually with allen key. Also I've seen a video on TH-cam, when guy disconnected plug and applied 12 Volts to wind the motor - polarity changes direction. However, I have no practical experience with any of that.
Hi, what thickness of brake pads and diameter of discs did you choose here?
Sorry Bogdan, I don't have that car anymore, and I don't remember. I know sizes can be different depending on what caliper you have in your car.
I notice that your bottle jack is a little "behind" the regular jacking point. Is that right? How do you identify that spot?
+Robert Morris My big apologies for ignoring your question - haven't been on TH-cam for few days (few crazy days for me :)) ) It's a very good question. I don't remember where exactly I stuck the jack in that video, but it looks like I was ashamed to show it :) - just made a point of type of a jack. Likely in the video it was on non-reinforced part. I do it differently now - I use pieces of plywood. Just have done a cambelt on this Sharan, where I had to jack it up - it will take at least a week to process it (still have to do my main job) - in there I show it all. I use piece of plywood about 4cm wide on a top of a jack and fit it between that metal stripe and the edge of the car, also use plywood at the bottom of jack and stands and the stand I put on reinforced stripe as usual. That works for me. Here, below, is the link with the screenshots from that cambelt video coming: www.wheelsandmotors.com/show_thread.php?id=127
A quick note: On a left hand drive car, the brake fluid reservoir is on opposite side compared to this video. Behind the battery and hard to see and reach without removing air intake pipe.
Is that the left hand drive car? Oh yes, brake master cylinder would be on the left as well..
@@wawayltd That would be the reason, thanks. I've edited the comment.
Thanks for the video, so is it ok to put the disc on dirty floor before you mount it?
I normally clean it with de-greaser spray to make sure there's no oil (some of them come in bags covered in oil to prevent rusting). As for the road dirt - it doesn't have to be medically clean ;) Think about it - your brakes, as you drive, constantly exposed to dirt, rain and puddles.. I'm not saying that you have to dip it in mud before fitting - just keep it tidy and make sure there's no lubricants on braking surfaces.
Any idea if possible to change break pads wear sensor (cable) without removing pads?
Wear sensor is part of a brake pad, it's inside.
@@wawayltd ok, thanks. Had i hope that maybe the cable is unplugable for break pads itself. Looks like not. Ok, will try to look the way to fix broken wire then on the fly. Thank you.
Hi. I need to change my vw sharan 2015 steering rack. Can u please advice me how to check match my steering rack. Bcuse i dont have part no. Vw dealer refused to provide part no. Thanks.
Hi, yes - dealerships don't like to share part numbers. I don't know it myself, maybe try to use couple of websites that list part numbers, like this one:
www.oemepc.com/
Or this one:

What about a video on how to change break fluid and blead breaks on a sharan 2:nd gen?
I didn't change brake fluid yet on that one. I had to bleed brake and clutch fluid, when I replaced clutch..
@@wawayltd Interested in the same video. Do you have it?
Sorry, I still don't have it. If I would change brake fluid, I would connect that pressure bleeder fron clutch video and open one by one each little valve-nut on calipers. Shouldn't be too difficult.
For first generation, 7M same steps for change,or difference?
+standartpro There is a bit if diffrence. On 7M model they likely to be like in my another video for Audi. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/lBzEk72sMr0/w-d-xo.html
Will you be a brake fluid change video?
Sorry Sukhraj, currently don't have time for new videos.
Most cars have process of brake fluid change, and there are few videos here on TH-cam about it.
It's all about how you bleed the brakes. I prefer using pressuriser over just pumping it with the pedal.
Hey for a 2018 Sharan, a 2 tonne axle stand enough? Or shall o buy a 3 tonne axle stand
You need 2 stands, not just one. They normally come in pairs. And if they state "2 tonnes" they mean as a pair. The car weights about 2 tonnes, and because you would lift only half (like front), pair of 2 tonne stands should be enough, although 3 tonne is better. I'm obsessed with safety, I use stands + jacks + anything else together. Please remember - it's 2 stands, not a single stand.
WheelsAndMotors ok I shall get the 3 tonnes on eBay. Seen Hawk brand seems strong.
You should invest in breaker bar :).
+Mateusz K I've got one now :)) It helps :)
Ok so where is the vw sharan as i cant see one
What makes you think this car is not Sharan? :)) I've used "fish eye" option for camera at too wide angle... What car do you think I have?! :))) By the way, have a look at my other videos about Sharan..
I m a sg driver in bristol. Ur videos very good. I met u on tample meads. Can i meet u again.
Hello Fahad, thanks for nice words about my videos! How can I help?
Hi , do have a garage in bristol. I got problem my sharan...thanks for last reply.....
@@wawayltd hi, do u have a garage in bristol. bcuse Problem with my sharan.2015
I have a garage, but it's not mine, my friend kindly lets me to use it. Also I don't do car repairs as business...
What's the problem with your Sharan?
@@wawayltdhi, sorry i thought u have a business garage. My sharan left wheel clunking shaking over bumps and steering clunking. Mechanics cant find the problem.
Now i have seen the video from beginning and yes it is sharan.but it is mk3 mate as i have got mk2 and mk2 was made up till 2010.
That what confused me. Sorry
Now I'm confused. . :( I thought Mk2 is second generation - from 2010.. As far as I know, first generation, 7M, was produced from 1995 till 2009. It had a facelift, but the body was the same. Second generation, 7N, 2009 till present. Logically would be far to call my car Mk2
I mean "fair"... So now you got me interested into this, I need to find out..
Nice friendly informative video.
Hello,thanks for the video!My brake pad warning light came on so I bought new front brake pads and changed them. My brake pad warning light is still on!..it turns on when I start the car and stays on until I turn off the car. How do I turn that light off? thanks in advance
Sorry, but I never had this problem with my car, probably something wrong with sensor wire.. If you disconnect brake sensor - does the warning still come on?
