Thanks for the video, I was put off doing it myself as I hate working on my van and was told it's a pain but it was one of the easiest I've done. Plus I took it to a garage last time and I'm certain they charged me and didn't do it as the airbox was never opened up

This is super easy, but to the point that now when I try to use the winding tool, the calliper refuses to move. thought I bought the wrong direction tool, so got the other one. NO difference. The brakes were not stuck when I took it apart. But the calliper wont move. It´s a Fabia so I guess the right direction is the one in this video. But what to do if it is completely stuck? (I´m currently on the rear left... In the video it definately winds clockwise. )

Is it seized? Have u tried putting your foot on the brake pedal to pump it back out slightly? Does it move?
@mikaeliby38719 күн бұрын
@@dadskillzcars I will try that! Gonna keep trying today. It should theoretically move though. The brakes "worked" as they should before removal, although the pads were down to the metal. I´ll be back :)
@mikaeliby38717 күн бұрын
Tried everything. It moves a millimeter, just so the old worn out pads barely worked. But it wont turn to wind in. Tried pressing in all kinds of creative ways, forcing turn with pliers, pumping brakes, fiddling with the hand brake -both the actual handle and the arm on the caliper that the cable pulls wich moves easily. I guess I´m looking at changing the whole thing... Well at least I now have the tools and know how for next time it´s brake changing season :) Thanx for the help though. I learned stuff!

Useful, especially concerning the very loud beeping-for-no-reason thing, because even Peugeot garages couldn't explain why it's doing it sometimes. However, I still have a question: I have a Partner Tepee 1.6 Hdi from 2016 and there's a small black sensor-looking thing protruding from the middle stop light at the top of the tailgate and you wouldn't happen to know what it's for, by any chance? I know there's one like it on the underside of the passenger door rear view mirror for monitoring outside temperature (and BTW you better make sure, if need be, to replace your rear view mirror with one that has it, otherwise your car computer won't work and will start showing a slew of warnings - because it needs it to monitor the engine temperature and other things, so I don't think there are two of them.)

Hey new here, popped up on one of my recommended vids... nice to see some more people doing autotest/solo... I had a couple of focus back in the day, great cars, I like the the little mods you've done on the interior 👍 I'm still working on my mx5, missed a couple of events recently but I'm hoping to get some jobs done next week and maybe get signed on another event later this month. I need a lot more seat time to get faster/more consistent in my auto solo events with the mx5 I'm always in a group with some stiff competition and experienced drivers.
