Changing Passat brake pads

  1. Does anyone know if the above is relatively straightforward and doesn't require any special tools? It's a 2007 estate. Oh and best place to get replacement pads?? Cheers
     
  2. The rears need a special tool to wind the pistons back in
     
  3. Just need to change the front pads. Easy enough then?
     
  4. Front is straight forward... Rear is a bit more technical if you have the electronic handbrake...?
     
  5. Cheers Paul. I got stranded a couple of month's ago as the electronic handbrake failed (in the on position). £300 later I was moving again. They're good when they're working, but......
     
  6. Yeah... All sorts of issues with them :(

    Genuine rear calipers are £400 a side :eek:

    And there is an updated switch for the dash too, as they can be problematic too :rolleyes:
