Thom 1 Posted February 19, 2010 Hi, yep I know I should be on an Audi forum for this, but thought I'd start closer to home. Have done a search and nothing's telling me anything I don't know already. Spent this afternoon changing the discs and pads on my g/fs Audi A3, put having a pig of a job winding in the caliper pistons to fit the new pads. I have a tool to connect a ratchet to the piston and am turning it clockwise and pushing but the piston just turns (without retracting). Have also attatched a bleed pipe to the outlet to reduce resistance put not having much success with that either. Only asking as I understand VWs work the same way and hoping someone can help. Cheers :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikkijayne 0 Posted February 19, 2010 Rear calipers I presume? Do they have manual or electric handbrake mechanisms? On the later cars you have to have VAG-COM to electronically retract the pistons. If they're manual then they should just wind back in like VW calipers do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
