General Information

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Volkswagen Touareg, 2016 Volkswagen Touareg, and 2015 Volkswagen Touareg. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

Flange the brake lines with 5 mm outer diameter using Brake Line Tool Kit :VAS6721  without damaging the coating. In this way, brake lines can be inexpensively partially replaced in certain cases.

Working with the Brake Line Kit :VAG1356  is not permitted because of the coating and diameter of black brake lines.

NOTE:

Brake lines must not be bent more than 90°, otherwise they kink or deform causes unacceptable constriction in the line.

Disconnect brake lines preferably at vehicle floor.

Position of intermediate pieces should be selected so that they cannot rub against moving parts.

Do not lubricate spindle, clean only with mineral spirits.
