A4 b8 brake discs

[techaddict]

Are you just doing discs or including pads?
Front pads are the trickiest - the passenger side (on a RHD car anyway) has a wear sensor that is a right pain to get off and away but I'll post the links to the videos tomorrow when I can find them.

Rear requires VCDS (or Carista/OBDeleven) and the advice is that:
- ideally connect a battery charger as the voltage drops significantly. If your car battery is borderline flat you could irreparably damage it
- once you open the parking brake, wait 30 seconds before hitting "Done, go back".
- don't forget to close the parking brake with the first two steps in mind as well when you've finished.
The other fiddly thing with the rear are the anti-rattle clips. Taking them off is fun. Putting them back on requires a little bit of technique - I found it easier to hook one end and the middle in place and then use pliers to manoeuvre the other end into place.

Ok cheers for the info I did see about leavin the vcds for 30 seconds before going back and my battery should be fine as it’s a recent new battery . I have had the rear off before as a couple months ago done the wheel bearing . This time it’s all pads and discs
