Hi, Im really hoping someone who‘s done this job can help me here… I’m trying to change the rear discs and pads, and am unable to push the piston back into the calliper for the new pads to go in. Prior to starting the job I (at least thought) deactivated the parking brake with VCDS, first...

Unfortunately I can't offer help here as I was about to type exactly the same question (although only one caliper changed (rear off side) due to it ceasing on my wife's car). Like you, I clamped the brake line and made sure that the fluid level didn't drop too low in the master cylinder. I saw...

Ok, thank you. There is also the option to watch without receiving emails which is what I had been selecting previously - because I don't want loads of extra emails coming in to my inbox. So if I select watch without receiving emails, does that actually do anything?

Hi, I've clicked on 'watch' for a few threads recently, but I can't for the life of me find where in the site I recall these threads... can someone help please? Thanks very much,

Standard factory Audi system as far as I’m aware. Today I’ve not had the volume issue, but it has been shutting itself off and closing the screen down every now and again, also a couple of times I t bought I had poor reception on the radio, so tried to change to another station - the MMI...

Hi, been having an issue with the MMI for a couple of days now. After a few minutes use, when trying the adjust the volume instead of the volume level bar being displayed on the MMI, I get a greyed out bar, and the words “volume unavailable“. The volume control actually still allows me to...

Actually, that's not a daft question... or if it is, I'm being a numpty! Having found a couple of other videos tutorials, one says to cycle the handbrake off, on and then off again before doing the VCDS bit, which I hadn't done!! I will try that today! Thank you!

Ok, thanks. Unfortunately I don’t get this option when I open VCDS.

Thanks for that, but the ‘53 parking brake‘ is actually for earlier cars than mine. Found that out from watching a fair few youtube videos!

Hi Darren, what do you mean by that? That’s something I’ve not heard of before.

Hi all, I'm trying to change my discs/pads and need to disable to automatic parking brake with VCDS for the rear wheels, but it doesn't seem to be working. Really grateful for any help people can offer. This is what I'm doing: 1. VAG plugged in. 2. Ignition on (VAG does it's initial scan...

To be fair, that's a really good point - I had the tyres changed on a different car a couple of years ago, not long after some welding had been done which necessitated removing the wheel. The poor guy at the tyre garage had a hell of a job to undo the wheel bolts because of how much the welder...

Thanks. Interesting that you say you add to bolts as well. I used to do the same until reading an engineering article that explained that you should never grease torqued bolts as the torque is based on metal to metal contact/friction - according to the article, you can easily over torque bolts...

Hi all, I’m about to swap over my discs and pads on this car for the first time. It’s a job I’ve done multiple times on previous cars, but I took a quick look at YouTube just to reassure myself there won’t be any ’surprises’… on the video I watched, the guy applied copper grease to the joining...

Thanks Alpesh, do your valves have the other seal as well, or not?

Ah, so a potential separate problem then! The orange ones do say they are for my car (A3 8V) on them… do you know what the difference between the black and orange ones is? What about your actual values though, do they have a seal that fits against the outer rim of the wheel? (I can’t really see...

Thanks John, useful to know. Actually though, I do have the steering angle tyre track display and the camera remains on until I reach a (slow) forward speed (I guess about 4 mph). I just don’t get the visualisation when I press the button. Back to the retrofitters for me then!!

Another retrofit issue here! I'm trying to fit TPMS to my A3, but the sticking point at the moment seems to be the actual values. I ordered the kit from Kufatec and the values supplied are OEM ones for my car, but the tyre fitters are having issues with fitting them to my wheels (wheels are...

Hi all, question for those who have Front and Rear parking sensors and rear camera factory fitted (or retro fitted and are 100% sure they work as per factory fit!) My car has rear sensors factory fitted, and I am having front sensors and rear camera retro fitted. The retro-fitters are...

Ok great!
