Hi
I require to renew my brake pads on my Audi A8 3.0 TDI Quatro 2005 and have been informed that this can only be done through a garage with a computer.Is there any way that this can be done by myself? I am being quoted around £450.00 for this. :zx11:

check the vag com section as there should be someone in your area that could help you out or
buy vag com from gendan (vcds is about £260)

It can't be done with VCDS/VAG-COM. I use VAG Commander to do it.
