Just got a Passat B6 here in the states. I've been researching maintenance items so I'm ready when they come due. These videos are absolutely perfect. Exactly what I needed. I feel comfortable with the basics of a brake change, so it's great to have the specifics of my car without any time wasted. Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad that our tutorial was helpful for you. Your opinion and remarks are very important for us. We will take them into consideration for our next tutorial. Best regards, Autodoc.
Just finished the front brakes on my Passat. Video was very helpful and made the job very easy. Not having a torque wrench, I had to get a cheater bar from the local parts shop(loaner). All is good.
Nice tutorial but a couple of comments. How about providing torque values for bolts; and would it be a good idea to apply anti-squeal compound on the pads and anti-sieze on rotor?
Thank you for the feedback! This video is considered to be an informative one, and it shows the sequence of repairs, without going into all the technical nuances. Best regards, Autodoc.
While it's admirable to try to work on one's own car, this isn't a repair someone should be trying unless they already know to use anti-sieze/brake-quiet compounds and the importance of torque specs. This is a quick how-to for people who already know that stuff, which you clearly do.
Thank you for your feedback! To save the time in the video some stages of the repairs might have been excluded.. In practice the torque wrench should be used. Best Regards, Autodoc.

@@randall814 lol, "torque specs" you mean two grunts?
Why did you not use any copper grease?
What's the torque spec for those bolts that use the No 7 bit at 5:05 ? Is the correct value 30 Nm ?
Thank you for the feedback!You are absolutely correct, the tightening torque is in the range of 30-35 Nm. Best regards, Autodoc.
I’m in the USA. Is there another name for the “No 7 End Bit?” Is that sold as a 7mm Hex Bit Socket or does it go about another industry name?
Thank you for your feedback! In this case you will need a standard 7 mm hex bit socket. Best regards, Autodoc.
Is the number 7 bit a torx bit?
Nope, it is not Torx. You can get this information in the vehicle maintenance log book
what is the name of the tool you used to get the caliper into position
Thank you for your feedback. We use clutch mechanism for сaliper, you can purchase this tool through our website. Best regards, Autodoc.
No torquing at least? Or not necessary?
Thank you for your feedback! To save the time in the video some stages of the repairs might have been excluded.. In practice the torque wrench should be used. Best Regards, Autodoc.
The pad without the push clips now rattling on my Passat after installing. Why is that?
These clamps are needed so that there is no rattling.

I scrolled down to see the 1st cock who wanted to point out a fault. Well done cock
Should.need anything on the pads if everything is.cleaned before reassembly
Do I need to bleed my breaks
When replacing pads it is not necessary to bleed the brakes.
@@autodocuk yes I managed to do it and changed my discs,,I just took the cap off under the bonnet to the break fluid 👍
very helpful :)
