Hello everybody.
I have now in my garage 2016 Evoque, the 2WD, manual diesel version (yes, I know...).
I wanted to make a full rear brake service, because last two service men refused, but got stuck sadly and hope you can help me.

I am not amateur but my knowledge in cars ends in late 90ties as I do not like new cars.
So my issue is the car has electronic hand brake, which by it self is new for me, i tried to youtube / google how to enter the service mode, but somehow it doesn't work.
I managed only to disable hand brake but i cannot push the brake cylinder back, it resists more than it should.

What i did to enter the service mode:
Hand brake on, car on, but engine off.
I hold gas pedal on ground, e brake button down, brake down, and switch off the car.
I tried also to power cycle, but it doesn't ever enter the service mode, just writes that handbrake is off...

Any idea please? And thank you in advance.

 

I did it!

I will post it here for references as it took me a while.
The procedure sadly as described doesn't work. Tried many times. Not sure why. If it is because not actual firmware, or because it is manual. Not sure. It never went to the service mode. But i did it anyway!

It was enough to just disable handbrake.Hold the brake and handbrake down and turn of the engine (so it stays off).

Then you need this tool


Before I always needed to just push back the brake cylinder, but today I learned that you need to rotate them as well. this is what the notches are for, they come to the grooves in the brake cylinder cap and rotate the cap. In my case clockwise (there are two handles in this kit, to CW or CCW).

Then it was just piece of cake.

I have new brake pads, and fully lubed brake caliper and new rotors now.

Pics or it didn't happen (i will add a video to my YT channel later)

 

In the car with ignition in Position II, press the brake pedal three times and hold the pedal down.Push down on the EPB switch for 3-5 seconds.
