- AOApril OcasioJan 3, 20261.0Called in to Halifax location to inquire about battery install. After sharing car info was told they could do it. Arrive at location and am told they cannot due to software reset that needs done after install. Never heard of this with my 2015 Passat. Called VW dealer to inquire. This is only something that needs done with cars that have the start/stop feature which mine does not. Thank God I left my car running while I went in!

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
