This is a great video - Thanks. There's not much info out there on the MK2 Audit TT rear brakes. For those searching, the process is very similar but the caliper carrier bracket has to be removed (or at least loosened) to get the disk off. It uses an M14 triple splined bit or triple square bit.
Thank you. I'm doing our v6 with vented discs and slightly different caliper. I think I need to try your wd40 trick to get the piston wound in and will look if there are the removable pins as the pads are dragging on the disc. Thank you again.
Nice job. top tip about keeping the parts label code, saves looking them up each time and or getting the wrong ones and exchanging them. I keep a file for each of my vehicles and machines and always stick the details of the parts code and supplier I last used, saves a lot of time
Hi Guys great video, I have a question for you. To do the Audi TT's brakes do you have to use that tool to turn in the cylinder (piston) or would a regular C clamp work? I went out and bought the kit to compress the cylinder.
just got myself a audi tt 225 2002 the brakes seem none responsive compared to my newer car citroen c3 should i get them checked out ... seem to have to push harder on the brake pedal compared to just resting my foot on the c3 for the same brake response .. brakes disks and pads seem ok with out taking them off.. also thinking about if i need to replace the disks and pads depending on your answer on getting the caliper powder coated... do i need any specialist equipment when taking them off and putting them back on .. baring in mind my tool kit contains some spanners and wrenches lol cheers mate tom
hi mate you could have a couple of problems one of your calibre is might be a bit seized or your pads and discs especially your pads could have gone hard which does meet the breaking very bad I'll have a video up in the next few days on how to take off front and rear caliper on a TT hopefully that video will help you thanks for watching don't forget to get your hands dirty
+bodgit and leggit garage on some of my videos on pads and discs I have talked about the pads going hard even though they all look ok but the pads have gone hard which stops breaking performance
also does your pedal go down further than it should does your pedal feel spongy because it might not be anything to do with your pads and discs could be your master cylinder or brake servo
The TT has ABS so when the piston is pushed back hydraulic oil pressure will push the valves in the ABS module in the wrong direction and I suppose potentially damage the ABS Module. What is the correct approach to avoid this problem
@@bodgitandleggitgarage hi just a quickie on my disc carrier it does not have the clips top and bottom the pads slot into like shown in video will it be ok cheers
Hello! Do you have any idea what I need to remove to change the brake disc shield? I am thinking of changing those with the discs and pads but I am wondering that do I need to take the bearing or axle off.
Thanks. I'm having a problem, dialing the piston back. It turns, but the piston does not seem to retract? I'm doing the same wheel as in your video, drivers side rear UK and am dialing back clockwise as per the video. I've taken the top of the yellow brake reservoir under the bonnet on the left hand side but the piston on the rear caliper does not seem to retract into the casing. Any ideas please? Ta :)
Hi mate you could have a couple of issues here most likely rust is your problem on the piston if this is the case you really need to replace it especially if it's got pitted or you might have a problem with the screw in the back either way looks like you're going to have to change this to make it work properly as I cannot see it as I'm not there impossible for me to say but if you've got any cracks in the rubber and you see rust just replace it
@@KevKam from the way you said your first message I assumed you already had the tool you're going to need the tool for it to work would you need to put a lot of pressure on it
Hi unfortunately I have not on this vehicle but I have done videos on ABS sensors on other vehicles and they are very very similar there's three or 4 videos I think if you just type in bodgit and Leggit abs they will come up and you can pick which one they all have different information in but believe me once you watch them you will know how to do it
@@bodgitandleggitgarage Thank you for your response Mr BLG. I took the rear wheel, discs and pads last night and still can't find the bugger!! Ill just come to Ireland and you can teach me haha. Thanks Laura
@@lauramiddleton1800 Lol no problem anytime I will be waiting I'm once you take the wheel off you will see just look for a wire they can only be two they're really ones going to be for the the caliper and then you'll see a smaller thinner wire that will be your ABS sensor contact me on Facebook or Instagram you can send me a picture and I can tell you where it is
Hey! Me again! Just came back to your video, cos didn't watch it all before. 7:06 why would slider pins be different and in what way? What did you mean by stepped?
sometimes the pins are different lengths from top to bottom and if you look at the pin when I cleaned it you'll see one has little steps in it's goes thicker as it gets to the top
I wouldn't put a caliper with ripped boot back in to service, Id rather put a new caliper on to be sure, I tried once on my car to run with broken boot and 3 months down the road I was regreting it. And always clean the hub before putting new discs on. Other than that, great informative videos 👍 Someone always has to rain on your parade and be a smartass, this time I felt it was my turn 😂
Dude, you need to use silicone paste on the sliding pins, not cv axle grease lol. Not to mention that you didn't replace the £5 piston rubber which will ruin and seize the caliper...
hi mate yes you can but you will struggle and possibly damage the rubber you can buy the hand wine back tools online very very cheap personally if I was you I would get one of them
yes your right i pressed the wrong keys, lol The 180 bhp has the single rear silencer & the 225 has a twin silencer. I spent several years working on these at an AUDI main dealers in the uk, they are great cars to drive!!
I would like to go with drilled/Slotted rotos on my TT 2002 Front wheel drive but I don’t see any option on ebay just for the quattro versions any recommendations?
hi mate very good point you just made I always do give me a quick wire brush and look at but I always take it for a test drive before I give it back to the customer but yes very well made good point thanks for watching get your hands dirty I will mention that on my next visit
*Never use copper grease on cars with an ABS system as I could interfere with the ABS return reading back to the ecm module ...use non-metalic high temp grease instead 👍*
I've always thought that it's a shame to have to replace pads when there's loads of friction material left on them, but as you rightly point out, the discs and pads 'mould' to one another?, so if you're replacing the discs, you should replace the pads too. However, if the pads didn't have those lines on them, you wouldn't be replacing them? I guess the other side of the argument is that discs/pads are considered relatively cheap, so it's not a major cost to replace them, and when you're talking about being able to brake properly.......
personally made in my opinion when you're changing the discs no matter what changed the pads even if they don't have the lines in they will still be slightly out of shape I know it's maybe a shame but brakes are very important and it would cost a lot more to fix your car putting it through a wall then it would be putting pads on it good question and thanks for watching
bodgit and leggit garage Yep, very good points! You shouldn't skimp on tyres, so the same should apply for brakes! Brake pads are just a few quid anyway, hardly what I'd call expensive (although does depend on your definition of expensive, of course :) )
Good job. Typical Audi n other manufacturers ..the piston u need special tool to turn it back to get pads in. It should be straight forward without having any special tool.
studio7 unfortunately mate nothing straightforward anymore specialist tools is the way every manufacturers going on some cars you even have to tell it how thick the pad you put in otherwise it will not work properly you need expensive diagnostic equipment for this
I won. I won....never one anything in my life...as you irish will cost ya shit loads to post my new range rover evoque...that I won.. mate I love ya vids give me prize to someone else. everytime you post a vid I win....give my prize to someone else....

it's the best way to do it like you said it can save a helluva lot of time thanks for watching me get your hands dirty
Clear and informative now confident to do it myself most helpful to me Thank you Regards

Very informative and clearly demonstrated. Great job.
thanks a lot mate glad it helped you
*Mate were did you buy the windbacktool from ?*
You can find a set on amazon for $20 some odd bucks.
Hi Guys great video, I have a question for you.

I went out and bought the kit to compress the cylinder.
Thomas Pope hi mate you can use a c clamp on the front calipers but not on the rear ones as they need to be push and twisted at the same time
Thanks, I went out and bought the tool but it turns out that the calipers were siezed and had to be replaced so I bought the tool for future use .
just got myself a audi tt 225 2002 the brakes seem none responsive compared to my newer car citroen c3 should i get them checked out ... seem to have to push harder on the brake pedal compared to just resting my foot on the c3 for the same brake response .. brakes disks and pads seem ok with out taking them off..
also
thinking about if i need to replace the disks and pads depending on your answer on getting the caliper powder coated... do i need any specialist equipment when taking them off and putting them back on ..
baring in mind my tool kit contains some spanners and wrenches lol

and one more thing your brake fluid might of gone bad an old which will make your brakes not work properly as well
should i open brake fluid res?when pushing back piston.
Iain Young yes mate sorry I did forget to mention that in the video
Do you have any video on how to remove the shocks and the coil spring on this TT
The TT has ABS so when the piston is pushed back hydraulic oil pressure will push the valves in the ABS module in the wrong direction and I suppose potentially damage the ABS Module. What is the correct approach to avoid this problem
great video just doing mine on my 2002 tt 225 bam keep up good work VERY useful vid
Thanks 👍

Great video, very well explained! I hope to tackle this job soon.....
thanks mate have fun
Hello! Do you have any idea what I need to remove to change the brake disc shield? I am thinking of changing those with the discs and pads but I am wondering that do I need to take the bearing or axle off.
Hi mate yes you do the 4 bolts holding the bearing on also go through the dust plate so everything has to come off
Alrigt, thank you. 😊

No rust on the piston and rubber is good.
@@KevKam from the way you said your first message I assumed you already had the tool you're going to need the tool for it to work would you need to put a lot of pressure on it
@@bodgitandleggitgarage Hi - Does the valve also need to be undone before, winding back? I can rotate ()clockwise) but the piston does not return??
Thanks for speedy reply love watching your vids

Is silicone spray safe to use on rubber boots on the piston ?
yes mate that's no problem just if you are spraying silicone spray is very bad
bodgit and leggit garage
your answer is very confusing as you said yes and then very bad
+recordedclips8888 I said it is only bad if you are spraying so like if you are spraying a car it is very bad
I wouldn't put a caliper with ripped boot back in to service, Id rather put a new caliper on to be sure, I tried once on my car to run with broken boot and 3 months down the road I was regreting it. And always clean the hub before putting new discs on.

good vid mate wot about bleeding a tdci
hi mate thank you I have a TNT video coming on how to bleed them very shortly and it's very easy to hopefully get it up in the next week or so
Thanks mate. That's a great video.
thanks mate
This is just amazing buddy thank you so much
thanks mate
bodgit and leggit garage buddy have you done any video on Honda civics mk8
can this job be done without a windback tool?
hi mate yes you can but you will struggle and possibly damage the rubber you can buy the hand wine back tools online very very cheap personally if I was you I would get one of them
thanks for the tip. i will do that.
anytime mate glad I can help thanks for watching
I’ve been using a g clamp for 25 years and it works a treat, just use the old pad with it too.
MUY MUY BUENO¡¡¡¡saludos¡¡¡¡ desde spain
gracias amigo, muchas gracias
I thought copper grease is for high temp applications?
Yes it is that is one of its uses
excellent. Really helpfull.
thanks mate
forum not foroom and circumference not cumferfence??
they are either 125bhp or 225 bhp both 1.8 turbo petrol
180 or 225 mate
yes your right i pressed the wrong keys, lol The 180 bhp has the single rear silencer & the 225 has a twin silencer. I spent several years working on these at an AUDI main dealers in the uk, they are great cars to drive!!
+James stickle lol 125 bhp is a 1.4 Turbo lol yeah nice car to look at and to drive but very slow unfortunately thanks for watching mate
I would like to go with drilled/Slotted rotos on my TT 2002 Front wheel drive but I don’t see any option on ebay just for the quattro versions any recommendations?
Dont you clean up the hub first before fitting the discs? Just one tiny piece of crap on there can cause brake judder!
Great vids, big fan!
hi mate very good point you just made I always do give me a quick wire brush and look at but I always take it for a test drive before I give it back to the customer but yes very well made good point thanks for watching get your hands dirty I will mention that on my next visit
where is the pcv valve?
