Special tools and workshop equipment required
t  Piston jig -MP9-403-
t  Brake pedal load, e.g. -V.A.G 1869/2-
t  Brake filling and bleeding device, e. g. -VAS 5234-
t  Bleeding bottle (commercially available)
t  Brake fluid → Chapter
  Note
t  Observe the instructions for changing the pad → Chapter.
t  After replacing the brake pads, depress brake pedal firmly several times when the vehicle is stationary to ensure the brake pads are properly seated in their normal operating position.
t  Use brake pedal load, e.g. -V.A.G 1869/2- or -V.A.G 1238 B-, before removing a brake caliper or separating a brake hose from the brake caliper.
t  Use a bleeding bottle, that only comes into contact with the brake fluid, to drain brake fluid from the brake fluid reservoir. Brake fluid is toxic and must never be sucked up by mouth!
t  Already used brake fluid must never be used again.
t  Tightening torque of the wheel screws: 120 Nm.
