2010 Audi A3 8P 1.6 TDI - Replacing Rear Brake Pads and Discs - Part 1

In this video I begin the replacement of the rear brake pads and discs, due to a low speed pulsating/judder through brake pedal.
Unfortunately I also discover a seized caliper piston on the O/S/R, which could not be retracted, meaning this repair has to be placed on hold, pending a replacement caliper.
Part 2 to follow...

Great guide but always worth leaving time or a few days in case problems arise. Will you replace both callipers or just the seized one?

[@sussexexternalcleaning6276]

Looking forward to the next video 🔥🔥🔥

[@michaelglynn2638]

Didn't know about the "wind-in" type of caliper piston!
Learned something there, thanks.

Hello Auto Knight, Thank you for the video. I have Audi A3 2010 1.6 petrol. Do you think my rear break disc should go easy as your one..? Need to try!!

[@autoknight747]

Always best to allow plenty of time and not rush. Depending on the history of the car, how it has been treated and the region the car is from, some things can be seized and may require a bit more effort. Caliper pistons sometimes seize too, requiring caliper replacement. Good luck with it!

[@pauleth]

sir we need more 8p videos!

[@autoknight747]

Working on one as we speak. Should be uploaded tomorrow!

[@garypotter4292]

What purpose does the plate on the wind back tool serve?

[@autoknight747]

It counters the force against the piston.

Great vid but never use wd40 near rubber or plastic parts!

[@autoknight747]

Thank you! I’d never heard that, the folks who produce WD40 even market it as having the ability to preserve rubber. I just checked, to be sure!

[@barteklewandowski4211]

Use silicone lubricant wd40 make it
