There is a re bedding/balancing procedure which is probably worth following as well (well there was on my 07 when I did that) as it makes sure they are adjusted correctly after reinstalling. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I have been refurbing my rear brakes this week, think I have a sticky caliper on the RHS, pads worn down to the metal near enough, and a vibration when hitting 70. A few photos and tips:

Be interested to know how you get on with bedding-in. When I tried it never seemed to exit correctly. EPB seems okay but not as good as it could be. I should have another go at it but it's such a to find a suitable bit of road... 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

Since my RR is an automatic, what's the point of the EPB.

Like previous automatics I have owned, the handbrake is only used for the MoT test!!

Bit like jumping out of an aeroplane with only a single parachute, then  .

Thanks all and Joe for the pictures. Guess I will take the negative battery cable off to be on the safe side.

Have ordered the parts so awaiting delivery. The weather is getting milder so thats a bonus. Will report back. Current:
- L560 Velar HSE R-Dynamic D180
- Peugeot 508 2011 - 2.2 HDi GT

Past:
- FFRR V 2010 - 3.6 TDV8
- Citroen C4 1.6i Petrol
- Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 DID
- Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi
- Nissan Primera 1.8 SVE
- Honda Civic 1.6 VTEC

Sorry, I forgot to add that I used the "pull fuse 36" method to disable the EPB. Given it took @ three days with real world issues and paint drying meant I could lock the car up at night (not that anyone would have had much fun trying to steal it with no wheels or brakes)  .

Just out off interest, how does it indicate successful completion of the test? (It was a while ago I attempted it). 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

Not sure if it does...tbh I lost count so not sure if I did less than or more than 10
You just have to cycle the ignition when finished, otherwise it stays in test cycle.


What the procedure doesn't tell you is to hold the button in the "ON" position until the car comes to a stop.
Going down a hill, this can take some time
And remembering that your stop lights are not coming on ?! (Although I couldn't see if they were....) .

Ah, maybe mine did complete successfully then. I was sure that on the Disco there was some sort of indication of success. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate
