Brakes are sticking again. Not as bad as before but had the calliper replaced the sliders re greased as all of this was knackered and the hand brake cable knackered. I had cracked off the bleed nipple to see if this releases pressure so I can move the wheel but no different. Any suggestions.

Turned out to be hand brake cable also was replaced. And I fitted new brake disks and pads for the rear . Much better now.

Cool I will check both of these many thanks.

I have problems with the rear near side calliper sticking. I replaced this with a new calliper and then took out the slider pins cleaned them up and greased them with the correct grease I purchased. It’s better but is still sticking and generates heat. I can wind back the piston on the...

Replaced the drivers side calliper today on my 54 reg bkd engine. What an easy job this was to do. Got a reproduction calliper from euro car parts. Bled the brakes and boom all done. Let’s hope nothing else goes wrong soon as I have just bought a house and finds are low. but I do drive 67 miles...

I replaced my rear left brake calliper the other week as it was sticking and wearing down the pads quickly. When I took the old calliper off the rear shaped solid brake pipe broke off using the correct brake spanner. I bought a new pipe from Audi direct and replaced the calliper and bled through...

I have this AUTODOC app but it lost so many callipers , how do you know which one to buy??

Ok so with tight ish nds I wil be buying a used gearbox with a 6 month warranty. I would love to have one rebuilt but am in the process of buying a house so I need to prioritise my money . Are there any special tools needed to remove the gearbox I need to buy before I order the gearbox Monday.

As you can see in my upside down photo the difference in the old oil and new oil. It’s like night and day. When I rang Audi they said you don’t need to change the gearbox oil in the cars.. really

Hi there people , my gearbox has started to whine in 1st and 2nd fear quite badly, so I decided to change the oil hoping this may sort the problem out. Now I bought the m16 security spline tool and A manual hand pump to pump the oil into the box. removed the reverse light switch , then the drain...

I was lucky with my 2006 Passat I bought in2010 with 100,000 miles on original engine. BXE engine code. Had it 7 years and sold it 200,000 miles on it only Normal wear and tear times nothing with the engine. I serviced it every 6k miles and was fine. Luck u suppose.
