Hello
Is there a DIY How To section on this forum.

How To do this, that, and the other.
How to replace front or rear brake pads?

I couldn't see one.

Thanks

Hello mate,

There is a lot of DIY info on here and on the web but don’t think there is a specific one (at least I haven’t bumped into it and I’ve been around for a while) that will group all of “this, that and the other”.
Imagine how it would be to read through thousands of DIY and How To do this, that, and the other for all Audi models looking for what you need
If you want a DIY about how to replace rear break pads there some good videos on YT - I used one from there when I did it 1st on my A4 BE 2015.
There are a couple of DIY your glovebox light(one by me), one about how to do your door puddle lights and door warning lights which I used on A4 B8 2010 and an A4 Black Edition S-line 2015 and all went well.
Hope this helps!

I'm on a few different forums, and they all have "how to" sections as stickies at the top of the page, even in all the little sub sections. It's a great idea, I assume simple to do, and I'm sure some people on here would be happy to post pics and info on how to do stuff

There is a "technical section" further down. I assume you haven't discovered it yet.

Being a novice, I was looking for a detailed, dummies guide to changing the rear brake pads with the VCDS.
Do I need a battery charger connected?
Jacking the car up, and where to put the axle stands
Torque settings for the brakes.
etc.
Haynes manual (which I have) doesn't seem that good.
