Title: Parking Brake Error
Post by: TastyCalypso6 on 24 April 2025, 09:50
Took car (mk8 CS) in Tuesday for new rear pads, and then Wednesday started getting a 'Error: electronic parking brake warning'. Didn't happen when I first collected it, but did it 5 out of 6 times when entering and exiting the car yesterday.  Car is going back into the garage (non main dealer) tomorrow, but was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences? I think the mk8 doesn't have a separate parking brake caliper so could it just be the pads they used?

Mine is in the main dealer for new front and rear pads tomorrow, so will let you know what I experience.

Is your parking brake quiet, or sometimes louder / noisy when this happens?

Would say they didn't do the rear calipers release to change position correctly.

Needs obdeleven or vagcom to change rear pads and re calibrate i think.

Had my brakes done last week at the main dealer in Milton Keynes.  New pads all round.  No issues with brakes at all since.
