VCDS - Derby area for EPB re-set

Post by peterm5329 »

I had one one my EPB motors fail in the on position, and I had to get the RAC out to help. He removed the o/s epb motor and would back the calliper which meant I could get home. The only dash light I had on whilst driving was the amber EPB failure. I have now replaced the motor with a new ebay sourced one, and the epb works fine with release and application, but the autohold doe not work. The amber light is still on. I could do with some help to re-set the system. I do not have access to VCDS and so I could do with someone in the Derby area to clear the fault for me. All help appreciated. I have read about the manual re-set using the disconnect battery for 10 mins. re-connect and then 35 seconds pressing the brake pedal, 10 seconds on the epb button and start the car. Not tried this option yet, but not sure if pressing the brake pedal is with the ignition on or not.
