Cool, thx.....I never understood changing the rotors out. You can easily go through two sets of pads before you need to do that. That rotor looked pretty clean to me.
@@likethiscomment.4802 I’m assuming if you manually reset the brakes you don’t need to worry about doing it with a scan tool. I had done it manually and my electronic parking brake still works like normal but this is just my experience.
@@anthonyt2675 Hey Bro i will try myself on the rear in some weeks… need to do discs and pads… I will try to turn back the motor manually. One Question: Do you have to turn the brake cylinder while pushing it back or can you just normally push it back since you already turned back the motor? Kind regards Tom
hello, not mentioned in the video as you didn't need to do it. I had a full brake service about 3 months ago on my 2019 GLI. I have been having sticking problems with front right rotor. I have taken both sides off and noticed the slide pins were opposite on each side. What is the proper orientation? One is solid metal and the other is 3/4metal with rubber/plastic. I have searched a lot on the internet and can not get an exact answer of which should be where. Thanks for your time.
You didn't talk about the opening and closing of the rear brake test, which happens after you close the calipers after service. Also, if you turn the rear piston compress puck upside down, you can compress the piston without spinning it. It just pushes in. FYI. Also, I find a nice non corrosive cleaner to make calipers and carriers to look nice again. Always go the extra mile. Customers will always appreciate it! Gear wrench open ends always fit for the front calipers sliders. Boo on the vice grips, ghetto.
yeah i heard to be careful to not use brake cleaner to clean the calipers. I heard of people wiping off the "GTI" logo painted in white on them with brake cleaner on accident. Need something more mild. soap and water or something.
I have a 2017 GTI, with DSG and still has the handbrake for ebrake. Do i still need to use a code reader to release the rear brake? I say that because I know my e-brake is manual so not for that but I do know the DSG has hill assist so i dont know if the system locks the brakes when its put in park?
@4:33 I did that, as I had done in the past wth other vehicles...this time I popped something bc liquid started to pour from what I think could be after the master cylinder. The connection to the brake holder is fine. The master cylinder itself is still full. But liquid was oozing out. Does anyone know what that could be from? Thank you
Jetta is the best car ever, please keep making more 2019-2021 Jetta content.
We need more MK7 content!!!!!
Super helpful, I appreciate the tools needed intro and the info on resetting the parking break 👍

I warped my oem rotors, so I decided to swap them out for some drilled rotors
what if you didn't reset the emergency parking brake? asking for a friend
I’m asking the same

Thank you for the video!
Nice thanks Jay
Rear brakes need to be put in service mode with scan tool . No need to remove carrier bracket & piston just pushes in .

Great help. thank you.
Would it recommended to put new bolts for Caliper carrier ?
thanks
Bout to do this myself, are there any surprises when it comes to resetting the parking brake. I don’t have a flasher to do what he did
How come you didn't replace the fronts with anther set of vented brake discs like the ones removed?
All brake rotors were replaced with OEM specific rotors from Brembo
Can i get the part numbers for the rotors and pads?
Are the instructions the same on a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta?

Did your reservoir overflow from pushing the fluid back into the system?
@@ecstuning no sir it did not.
Nor did anymore fluid come out.
I'm thinking that maybe I went too fast when pushing the piston back in🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
Do you need any thread locker for the caliper bracket or the rotor set screw?
No, not mentioned in the original repair manual 😊
Thanks for the videos! Question, if you had a base GTI S, can you straight swap for the SE/Sport/Autobahn Performance brake calipers and rotors?
Would this apply to the jetta r-line too?
But the brake bleeding process :P
For replacing the calipers and rotors, the brakes do not need to be bled. The procedure is similar to other brake bleeding procedures.
