Has anybody tried to release electronic parking brakes ( Module 53) using VCDS ? I'm trying to do it and can't access this module. Getting error message as below. What Am I doing wrong ? I sent email to Ross Tech support, but have not received any response yet.

Already know the answer. Cars 2013 and up don't have Module 053 ( Parking Brake). Instead Module 03 -ABS Brakes should be used.

I'd get them from FCP Euro. You can replace them for free when they're worn out - no I'm not kidding

Go to pads seem to be EBC, red stuff for no dust daily use, yellow stuff for more stopping power, blue stuff for the track.

Rear rotors: 034 Motorsport offers a light twin disk upgrade 350mm

Front rotors: OEM seems to be the only option, something about proprietary and, like, such as?

Hi All.

For the guys who have 8 cyl cars ( A8 and S8) with 400mm front rotors I can confirm that there is a much cheaper source that OEM brake pads. The best price for OEM pads I found was about $300 per axel for pads ( total about $600).
I just installed ceramic front pads, which cost me $52 plus shipping :

Also rear ceramic pads, which I have not bought yet, cost about $35.

Thank me later.
