Rears listed in this post How To. Changing Rear Disks(rotors) And Pads
With the 50% off offer on brakes at Eurocarparts and a long time at home it seems like a good opportunity to renew my brakes on my T6 T30 Kombi. Can anyone recommend any decent guides which I can read/watch? The only ones I have found are the Autodoc series of videos which are all for T5 models, (is the T6 braking the same?). Any help much appreciated.
Just a warning on Eurocarparts. I ordered some stuff for the Ford Tourneo Custom I have on the 29th March and only just received last Saturday 18th and still missing two items which are 'to Follow'. They can't cope with the volume of orders they are getting. In store collection is for key workers only.
Having said that, before the Covid-19 kicked in I got brembo discs and pad all round for the T6 from ECP and was really impressed with the service. The brakes are spot on.
I priced up a full set of brembo discs and pads all round and the price from ECP is hilarious even with the discount it comes in just above the normal price from autodoc.
Do you have a link to the auto doc please I can’t find it.

My T6 has just had its first MOT and warranty expires Monday.
An MOT advisory is front pads 75% worn.
VW advise replacing the disks and pads, parts cost £300+.
There is a small (0.5mm?) Lip on the disk edges, part of which must be rust anyway.
It has done 33000 miles and will see light use.
I am planning to replace the pads myself (it has single pot calipers and 308mm disks).
Makes sense?
Any pitfalls?
Thanks in advance for comments.

Incidentally, I bought it a year back with 28000 miles.
Nothing special about the brakes, easy if you've done brakes before
Actually just had a vague recollection that you might need an unusual size Allen key or bit for removing the caliper, maybe 7mm (but Google should confirm) wasn't in my set which has covered every other car I've worked on
