As a non mechanical person I sure appreciate the vids on this car. Let vocal, organized & thorough. “We’ve got the hammer to bang the rotors out.”
As someone else stated you should be a trainer. Very clear and concise instructions with enough giggities to keep you laughing and not zone out.
"Now our piston is fully retracted" missed gigity opportunity. :)
You’re officialy the only one professional mechanic in the world I could give my car keys and be absolutely confident. Men, people like you are so rare these days
I appreciate that more than you kow.
"Now we're gonna beat that rotor off. One shot...gone." That's what she said.
*giddity*
As annoying as this is... I can appreciate the auto-retract on the caliper piston. However, that we'd need an OBD-II tool to do so.. I think we'd be better off having a diag menu in the Audi itself to do it. Then again, I'm barking up the wrong tree.
There is one built in...Read the manual.....
@@WizzRacing Don’t have an Audi. Watched the video on the assumption that you needed an OBD-II tool to do so. Appreciate the information!
@@WizzRacing yes I'll read the manual of the car I don't own
@@Alucard-gt1zf Short Bus Rider....This information is for those that have one or work on vehicles that require you put the car in Service Mode..As this is not limited to Audi...
Why I would punch my teachers in the stomach. Then ask the schools for refund. They failed to educate you..As they can't even teach people how to read...God forbid they write manuals in Cursive..
@@WizzRacing Your comments may be true , but wow , someone needs a hug .
I was a service manger for 8 years at a VW dealer. I wish I had a tech like you in my shop. You are tops!
Did I hear a Bob Ross happy little bush quote in there? Even if I’m hearing things, I’m going with it.
I thought he said "happy bush". I try to make sure the bush in my life stays happy.
The only thing your vids are missing is a Giggity counter in the bottom corner of the screen :) as always love your work brother
I think this channel is about to take off at a quick pace. This guys attention to detail and consideration for the next mechanic is amazing. I don’t thing this shop is close to where I live otherwise these guys would get my business. The way this guy teaches is also impressive. Nice content. And good work! It’s entertaining and informational at the same time. It’s why I subbed as soon as I found this channel. 👍
Bro! Yes, this was my fav vid yet. I enjoy the general look over, multipount videos but sharing your repair knowledge 👌
You remind of the good old days wen I used to work at the dealer..great content as always 👍
Years ago, I obsessed over brake noise. Unfortunately, this was due to the shop using really cheap parts. Comebacks (giggity?) cost money. The wire brush is one of the best tools for eliminating noise. I have never seen grease on any OE setup. Everything is just clean and dry. That’s it. Properly lubed caliper slides, clean mating surfaces, including a tactical brushing of the piston face(s) and clamp side. Replace pad slides, and make sure of shim is positioned properly and assemble. No noise, every time. Always follow the rules: correct pad material, properly machined rotor surfaces or replace rotors, clean and dry mating surfaces, clean install, torque wheel nuts/bolts/studs, double check, test drive, check again, every job, every time.
You are definitely correct there. Cheap brake parts will cause noise everytime. But most people don't like the cost of good parts. They want it quick, fast and cheap. Then come back and complain when their brakes are squeaking. 😭
Great Giggitous video. If you ever have a chance to do the same with a C7 S6 or 7 model, please do. The front ones are a pain. Has to be a better way. Looking forward to your Topdon review. I just got one about 4 mos ago. Thx.
I do this at work regularly but I still love to watch you do it!
It's interesting that you guys don't use ODIS for diagnostics, any reason as to why?
we use odis for everything. if its not warrantee i'll use aftermarket, its faster.
Man... these recent scan tools seem to do more and more for cheaper and cheaper as time goes on Crazy what you get for your money. Unimaginable just five years ago. Something that does all this would've cost $4-5K. Thank you for this video. Very informative.
Snap on still does that price
Hey. Don't know if you've said in an old video, but how long you been doing this? As a new sub I'm curious. Also want to say if you were teaching noobs how to do this you'd be pretty good at it. Well explained and presented in a good way. Thanks for the vids. Take it easy man. 😎
The TOPDON costs what !?!?!?!?!?!?!?
( runs and grabs credit card)
I can't wait for your review.
Brilliant. Real DIY advice, but… 18mm? That’s an odd size, not that I doubt you, it’s just most things are either 13 or 17. LOVE the bleed container and most envious of the bleed machine, but yes, opposite bleed sequence you’d expect. But by far the best bit… Gooten Tight. Love it. Will remember than on my A5 if I ever play with it. Thanks. Great video 🙂
My Volvo V60, like many others, needed the electronic piston retracting. 9V PP3 battery with pigtail connector did the trick nicely.
In a Mercedes, opening and closing the rear park brake for service mode can be done through the car itself, no need for a scan tool.
Most Jeep’s too
Audi can too. It's just faster with a scan tool when you most likely have it hooked up already
Get some Fluid Film for those hubs. Stuff is magic!
It's way too clean for fluid film obviously no where near the rusty north
Great videos to watch ! Thank you ! Respect from Scotland.
Thanks for watching! Love hearing from viewers from outside the U.S.
Have you ever used brake files to clean the caliper? Very handy and great for cleaning.
I use a small square file and a steel brush.
Nopes. I have a 2000 Jeep WJ in great shape and well maintained and two more for spare parts. I also have a '73 Olds 98 Regency that I'm restoring. I'm retired and old enough that these two rigs will last me the rest of my driving years. Interesting procedure. I'm glad I retired from wrenching in 2009.
Excellent video for us DIYers!!!
Glad you liked it!
no anti-seize on the bolts? you are not in the salt belt. lol we love anti-seize here in PA.
I have had cars come in with loose caliper bolts because of anti seize, lucky i didnt use lock tight lmaooo
@@customerstateswhat you need more snow ice and salt to keep them tight. i have had to you the fire wrench to get them lose and most time they just twist off.
Love your videos. Witnessed the Shrek piss first hand today on a customer vehicle. I feel like if the test strip we use read above 300 ppm, it would have. Stuff was dark dark green.
I took my shoes off and still lost count of the giggitys.
It's like cowbell , you can never have too much Giggity .
Do appreciate my schooling it’s my drug 🤪
Until the next time “Giggity”
We need to put a face to the voice dude 👍🏻👍🏻😂
Man, these videos make me want to move to the US and buy an Audi JUST so I can have this guy work on it for me.
😎
so for both part one and two how much was this service? I'm guessing about $2500 USD? maybe $3K?
If you only work on VW/Audi go VCDS
I look at my Plated GM Truck Caliper and rotors that remain RUST FREE and wonder how German Engineering Works
A new TV show:
Mr. Giggity's Garage
That scanner is beautiful
Thanks for uploading these videos bud, they're so entertaining but also educational you'd make a very good teacher if one day you decide to pass your knowledge on to newbie, a true professional. :)
The amount of time I’ve said to people you need a thin walled spanner to undo the calliper bolts, I can finally tell people to stop hammering them on
I have the wheel lug bolt tool for my VWs, works great when taking wheels on and off.
Giggity 😏 that scan tool is fancy af.
Not as fancy as that mask your wearing at home
@@tjlovesrachel that's me at work.
I would assume the dealership would at least torque the caliper bolts to spec, same with the guide pins
While I don't disagree from a technical standpoint I am sure his arm is calibrated +- 3 ft lb and possibly less variance. All about repetition and muscle memory.
Pro mechanics only use a torque wrench when absolutely necessary. You gotta beat the book if you want that bonus.
Giggidy overload lol
The brake fluid flush machine sure looks hi end. I used to do it the old fashioned way. Now, I just get a.mechanic to do this....getting too old to bother.
Fair enough, but if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. I think most places use machines and they aren't running any nice brake fluid anyway (anything better than Motul RBF600)
@@jkxss atf 200 race blue is all you need for daily car. 10-15 bucks per 1l
@@CL9k24a3 disagree, especially if you are bleeding yourself (assumes some mechanical ability). Considering SRF is ~$70 a liter, and RBF600 around $50 per liter (2x ~500mL pints) it's not that big a deal. I would rather DIY and use better parts as well as know it was done right.
@@jkxss The problem with brake flush is to get the fluid out of the ABS System under the hood near the fender. Since I got a new Tundra and opted for extended warranty, one free flush is included with the extended warranty.
@@mikefoehr235 Your OEM factory service manual should give you directions on how to flush properly... ABS doesn't affect brake flushes since basically every car made in the past 20 years has it. Also you don't remove fluid from the abs, you just remove it from the master cylinder.
Funny, i was looking at one of those Scanners. Looks ok
I just got that same scan tool sealed new in the box for $250, did I do good? So far I’ve only used it on a KIA and successfully diagnosed a bad clock spring. I like it so far! Gonna do some brakes next.
Just wondered , what is the part number of the cardboard tool cart liner . lol , great idea .
LOL...German elbow torque Gutentite!
3:48 "Bang that rotor out"...Giggity!
Shouldn’t one evacuate the fluid when pushing the piston back? So the dirty fluid in the caliper doesn’t go up into the system?
And no anti-seize on the flat head that holds the rotor in place? Those always get stuck.
You start at the left front brakes, end at the right rear brakes.......do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around........
This topdon looks a lot more hightech than the VAG1552 and the VAS5052 that replaced it when I was still working at a VAG dealer.
Missed "giggity" opportunity with sticking the dongle in......
Gotta love the brand of scan tool haha TOP DON
i think we hit a giggity record
Last thing you want to do is push all that overheated gummy brake fluid into the delicate abs module. Better to push it out through the bleeder.
i just did this to my Audi A4, used VCDS with a dongle from ebay. Cost me about 20 bucks :D
The bleed order makes sense if the ABS module is in the rear (Gigitty)
That's the end of the shade tree mechanic
Unplug and probe the caliper side of the harness and problem solved
I worked as a mechanic in the early '80s (VW and Audi). Man, the job has really changed since then. E-brakes? Huh?
Its just an electronically actuated parking brake, instead of the old cable
@@byanymeansnecessary9329 its a 1000 $ repair instead of 20$ lol
Servicing of the blinker fluid must really be chore. Drain , fill, purge air, top off. Do not even think of the wiper blades without using a computer.
It is a real pain in the ass on Audis. You can only get the reservoir cover off with a left hand, metric adjustable. Muffler bearings are somewhat easier
Last week a tech here put 20psi on a B5 Passat and blew that reservoir apart.
Is there a automatic pressure or customized settings for the extra rusty brake fluid that is clumpy and rusty that needs more pressure?
You sound like Emeril (the chef). Great Vid
Just FYI ... Always do the fluid exchange FIRST! WHY? Do you don't force contaminated fluid into the ABS system. If you exchange first you have fresh clean fluid in the ABS and you won't cause any issues for your client.
Perfect sense....
Great teaching video to non mechanics
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the informative content sir!
You don’t need a scan tool…If you unbolt the electronic parking brake off the caliper ( two torx bolts) and you spin the center of it clockwise till it stops then it also retracts the parking brake. Then you can decompress the caliper. I do it 8 times a week at my job on various makes and models.
what about the warning light on the dash? who what how to clear it, a scan tool at a shop?
those giggity'es kill me
I used Carista for my SQ5, but certainly interested in your review you have for this scanner.
My old 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid had to do the same thing. I got rid of it.
In previous vid, you had mentioned that job will cost extra because of EPB... but I was like - why???
With previous gen PB, you'd have pair of PB shoes inside of rear rotor with 2lbs of dust in there, ususlly, that should be cleaned = extra time/effort and with new rotor, PB shoes clearance must be mechanically adjusted = a lot more time and effort and sure as hell a lot dirtier part of the process VS couple of clicks on the diagnostic scanner. EPB made this job 40min-1hr shorter and cleaner.
Why more money?
Cost of scanner? But with scanner life span, say 3 years, its cost divided by amount of cars its used on daily = negligent, fact that it just saved 30-40min-1hr of time, seems to be beneficial enough charging regular price, why take more? Because customer has less options where to get it done or would not be able to do straight forward job (which brake job pretty much is) themselves?
Sounds like price gouging.
Please dont take it personally - I understand that you're not the one driving price politics. Just shared my thought process.
Loving the flavor at the minute !
Be careful with the long one in the short hole !!!
When you disconnect the scanner after bringing the pads in, do you leave your ignition on?
I'm really enjoying these longer videos as much as the shorts that you do. It's entertaining to see what is done to our cars when a professional gets hold of our cars rather than some clueless buttmunch who @%
whats the reason for the rear to be electronic? kinda weird but surly there's marketing behind it.
You should do more videos like this
Great video ,interested in this scan tool but would like to know if its capable of coding in replacement tdi fuel injectors in VW /Audi models?
Anyone got any info on this question, l would very much appreciate an update
All brake jobs are giggity giggity!!!
🚙💨🔧
15:41 giggity
Güdeen-tite... that’s so goddamn funny. Haha
Any idea what brake fluid you guys use? Is it just OEM Audi brake fluid? Any customers in the more sporty models ask for higher end brake fluid like Motul RBF 600, Castrol SRF?
You didn't show whether you sucked the fluid out of the master cylinder. I always figure why push a bunch of nasty fluid through the system.
Are you not supposed to spin the piston while compressing, hence the slots on the face of the piston?
That's what I was thinking, I didn't even think you could compress them directly
'Alexa. Download new pads.'
Giggity
GIGGITY! Well Don, Sir
I love the work you do but all these complicated computer modules even for the brake system is a big reason why I personally don’t like Audi’s.
Jeep, Honda, gm. All these brands do this now. Audi has just been doing it for years. If your car has auto braking or lane keep assist, it has these modules. No escaping it in these new cars
I miss the days when you could work on your cars and trucks without all of the electronic gizmos. You didn't have to pull the engine to change the spark plugs and the like.
hey at least your caliper bracket bolts come out and they are not seized in the knuckle lol
Can you change your idle with it .?
How long do you wait for the fluid to drain until you move onto the next wheel when doing the brake fluid change?
Don't put grease on top of the hardware. The grease will attract dirt and cause the pads to seize.
On states that border Canada you absolutely grease the bracket under the hardware but not the actual hardware to pad ears themselves the pads will get the dirt in the ears but the bracket will trap salt under the hardware here and crush the hardware into the pads like a vice
Just run 12V to the motor pins on the caliper. Takes 10% of the time.
Most new shit you get into brake service mode right on dash
Why not VAGcom?
I’ve never seen brake pads com with new slide pin bolts, is that normal for Audi dealerships?
Hey just curious, what did the customer pay for that entire service?
Did you read the repair manual?
Is this scan tool worth purchasing? im considering getting it myself . I work for honda, we now have electronic rear parking brakes, but it would be nice to have a nice scan tool for everything else
So far its done what i needed it to do, service resets, parking brake, i even monitored a a/c pressure switch the other day. For the price its not that bad. O and free updates unlike the $1000 a year from Snap-on. But at the same time I love my Snap-on scanner.
What's the part number for that pin inserted in the rotor?
Pretty sure you can just find a stud of the same size laying around somewhere in your garage
I watch these vehicals so I can be aware of the tech overstep of vehicals. I love my 64 Falcon...drive everyday... Booo Yaaah
