Hi guys, thanks for the welcome.
haven’t changed brakes before on this model. Did however do it on my mk5 golf.. traditional handbrake on that model and As suggested my 8VA has an electronic handbrake.
Spoke to mechanic friend from VW today he’s sadly too busy for home jobs but he said the front axle can be done without the vcds or similar. The rear axle however cannot.. 🫣
With that in mind I’ve ordered an Xtool A30M on his recommendation this will allow for the EPB to be reset etc.
with regard to brands I of discs and pads I’ve been looking at Mintex, TRW, Mtec and Pagid. Im told Pagid are considered the best at present, mintex second and the dealers recommend TRW..
so any help would be appreciated..
