stay tuned for brake bleed and flush video coming soon

Hi, how have you delete that fault codes? I have changed the pads and the car is crazy like your. Fault code about esc, steering, breaks…. Thank for the video.

One of the best brake tutorials I have ever seen. I have done brake jobs on my last 4 vehicles. THANK YOU

THANK YOU for the detailed explanations! So many diy car vids don't show the entire process or skip explaining steps.

….when I purchased my brand new BMW 540i xDrive (G30 chassis) a couple of years ago…I immediately changed the front/rear M Sport brake pads to EBC Redstuff. I thought the upgrade of these pads took the M Sport brake performance to the next level…w/ less brake dust,of course!!!!

Love the brake-by-wire system on my Stelvio. Excellent vid btw, thanx.

any updates on your pads? trying to decide what to put on my Giulia 2.0T Reds vs yellows or porterfields

I changed after 15000 km like 7 thousands miles, in my stelvio the new that cames with car, with the ate ceramic plates, they are fromconti entalbrand, they are in ceramic but not extreem, thye brake better than original for sure, and also don't make any dust at all thats the first why i change them, my black weels stay clean 😍 they also last more than the original and consumink the discs less than the original one

I have a 2019 Jaguar XE S AWD(Supercharged V6) that had a software tune. It is currently sitting at ~410HP(most likely at the crank). I plan on getting the supercharger pulley upgrade too, which would bump it up a little but its mainly for low end torque. The car needs some new brakes after 34k miles. I can't decide if I need the yellowstuff or if the redstuff would be more than sufficient.I plan on changing all four rotors and pads.

Hi could I ask you what did you use to clean the leather seats , thank you .

I installed EBC Yellow Stuff on my Ghibli SQ4 front and rear and although dusty, the feel and stopping power are much better than OEM Brembo pads.

changed my front and rear pads and now theres all knds of warning lights like ATS, BRAKES, Front end collision and some other stuff. Any clue on fixing those?

Hey, don’t know if you’re gonna see this, but how long did the red stuff pads last? I’m in urban areas with constant stop go traffic, so hoping to get atleast 30-40k miles. Was looking at Porterfield, or can you recommend a budget long lasting brake pad pls? I have a giulia 2.0

Or do they squeal when the brakes are cold. Thank you and best regards.

Do you have to put it in maintenance mode to remove front brakes ?

Can I install brakes from the Dynamic Friction brand for the rear end?

Did I miss it or did you not remove the negative cable from your battery after putting it in brake service mode?

Excellent video on the pad installation! However, I went to EBC's site (no local dealer) and they don't list Alfa Romeo under their "Yellow" brake pad applications..

How did you get the service lights off?

Interested as to why you had codes afterwards. I changed my Guilia discs/pads front and rear no issues. I left the battery connected but the fob was left well away from the car as I read having it close by can cause warning lights. I also pumped the pedal to take up the pad to piston gap before the initial function on the dash to reset the rears.

gonna be tough to find now. We removed the EBC pads because they developed such bad squeal we could not solve them until we replace the pads with OEM and new OEM rotors the noise became unbearable for some reason on the Stelvio but on my Giulia QV never once had any issues it might be the way the IBS was programmed between both cars.

I didn't see you bleed the brakes on the video. Were you able to replace the pads without bleeding? Also you mentioned the codes did you disconnect battery? I've heard you have to go through key cycles or turn the steering wheel far left then far right then turn the ignition off on

Hi Daniel I did not do the bleed in this video because I did a detailed brake bleeding and flush video on my Alfa Romeo Giulia QV which is the exact same procedure, That video is on this channel if you search youll find it from the last summer. The codes were because the pads were so badly worn and pushing the pistons back in set the system off crazy. I scanned it with my Multi Scan Laptop and cleared codes in minutes which was a relief. You really need Multi Scan to work on the Alfa if you plan to do any DIY service yourself/
