How can you know if air has got into abs system?

I'm going to follow your procedure here. When you unbolt both the spring holder and shock strut, will you be able to turn the hub assemble toward you so that the hub will be at at angle of 45 degrees or so or would this require unbolting more joints attached to the hub?

Thanks. My next problem is there's no room for the breaker bar in there(carrier bolts), the shock is in the way, there is a bit of room to put the bar from directly underneath but that would require some Jacking up or a lift, any tips?

I may buy a scanner from eurocarparts, I thought abs sensor also and it's locked the wheels up, could that be possible? Should I just remove the sensor? But I don't see why the abs sensor should be damaged, maybe I knocked it by mistake.

All I've done is Jack up rear wheel, remove caliper(top section) and pads. Now when I turn the ignition on I get a flashing EPC warning light. Also I can't rotate the wheel (to get better access to caliper mounting bracket bolts). The handbrake is also released. Any ideas what's going on?

Both the carrier and slide of caliper part. Do you know the torque settings? 2008 Octavia 1.6 petrol.

Excellent that's what i bought, the sockets are pretty rusted though and I hope I can get these to seat properly.

Yeah it's not. Do you know if this is the correct socket bit to remove the two big bolts holding in the caliper carrier?

Nobody?

I think it could be a tried square socket 14mm otherwise known as a spline bit M14. 2008 Octavia FSI, 1.6 petrol. Is this the same or similar socket to the security nut lug on the wheels?

Without buying a manual how do you find torque settings, I think the caliper housing will be the main thing?

If it's advertised for an estate will that also be fine for saloons etc, ?

I need to replace both rear brake discs. The PR code is 1KF but it seems Skoda changed the disc size around 2009. According to a post I found. It doesn't entirely make sense though. EuroCarParts gives me two sizes for my reg, 253 and 256mm. The Skoda dealer says it's 260mm and a data sheet I found for 1KF says 260mm. So it looks like I've narrowed it dowm to either 256mm or 260mm. I found a set of 260mm on eBay but eBay's build in match-by-reg tells me these won't fit my car but I think eBay is wrong. Can I use either 256mm or 260mm or does it have to be an exact match? What would you do?

So it is doh.

Eurocarparts are giving me an option of 252 or 256mm. I'm pretty sure now it's 260mm I need.

Looks like the PR code is 1KF which translates to 256mm/12mm(minimum 10mm). I've seen a pair on eBay which match my reg but they are 255mm/10mm. Would these eBay set do? They come with pads also.

It seems there arw four brake disc sizes, 232mm, 255mm, 260mm, 272mm. Is there a way to find out withiut directly measuring, can you find out from your VIN?
