but i cant find out how to chance those rear pads , the car have also electronic parking brakes

but someone tels me that the car needs on the diagnose computer to chanche the rear pads (aka VW ) , but i find this strange ,

i tested wit a piece of paper between pad and disc and activate the parking brake result the paper was not holding tight between pad and disc and feld down.

because of this i think there are internal brake shoes inside the disc is this correct ?

Installed the Centrics front and rear on a Porsche Cayenne 2012 base V6. They fit like a glove and work great. The fronts are a bit tricky to do. Rears are the easiest. Make sure the shifter is in neutral, wheels chocks in place and the electronic handbrake in NOT engaged else you would not be able to spread the rear pistons outwards.

I had help to hold the calipers while I slid the old pads out and slid the new ones in. No need to take the pad dampers on the calipers out unless they are in bad shape and need to be changed.

You didn't replace the rotors? Isn't there now a lip on the outer edge of your rotors?

Hi

can you tell me what was the milleage when you have to replace the pad? did you replace both front and back? did you replace the sensors also? and lastly where did you buy Centrics pads from. Mine is 2013 diesel with 15K miles and it look pretty close worn out from visually inspection.

Many thanks

I replaced mine close to 31K miles. I did replace both the front and back and bought the pads from autopartswarehouse.com. Bought the 4 sensors from Amazon. 3K miles later they are quiet, less dust and good.

No lips on rotors yet.

Hi, 

Doing the rear pads at the moment, the rear caliper bolts look like torx bolts but T55 or T60 won't fit. Anyone out there know what bit to use?

Triple Square Spline Bit Socket Set XZN

 

[neil cooper]

Great, thanks. I'll get hold of a set.?

Hi I have 2015 Cayenne. In addition to the bolts which holds the caliper, there are two smaller bolts which holds pads with what seems to be a spline head. I tried to use 10 and 11 mm spline sockets but either of them worked. Anyone know its size? Is it possibly SAE?

Definitely not SAE. It is either metric or triple square.

Since you are working on your porsche I would recommend buying a set of triple squares.

[Speedobird]

thank you all. I ordered a set of triple sq bit and a set of sockets.

Are the torque specs for front and rear caliper bolts 104 ft lbs? I asked dealer and they said that’s what they torque the f/r? Wanted to confirm because I’ve read different specs.

Thanks Loren but the chart isn’t that for the 955 Gen Cayenne?  Just confused because I had inquired two dealers and they said 104 ftlbs on both FR.

In the future please state the model year of the car. Thanks/

 

Information in the service manual for rear calipers states "Fit brake caliper. Tightening torque 85 Nm (63 ftlb.)"
