IV seen there are a few videos on line about being able to replace the rear pads on a A6 with EPB without using vagcom.
You bassically take the motor off the back of the piston and wind it back your self. Looking at the motor it's only got two pins so it must know that the parking brake is applied using a voltage increase on the motor a bit like the electric windows rather then a position sensor.
What I would like to know is when you've wound it back your self and replaced the pads and now your parking brake has been disengaged what will the car do when you turn it back on and it's expecting the hand brake to be on?
Will it through up an error or will it continue to cycle the motor untill it hits the voltage increase signifying that the motor has pressed the piston against the discs?
I'm a bit reluctant to spend £240 to have the rear discs and pads replaced just because of the electronic handbrake. It's such an easy job so I'd like to save a bit of cash and do it my self.
Thanks Craig.
