Revive, the manufacturer of the popular Turbo Cleaner range, has launched two new tools for service reset and EPB functions on both VAG and Land Rovers vehicles.

The tools complement the Revive range and are the result of a collaboration with sister company SP Diagnostics. Both tools simple plug and play devices and totally subscription free. This makes them a good choice for quick reset jobs after a service. 

From simple caliper retraction on Passat to the more involved pad calibration required on the newer A8, the Revive SLR/ EPB reset tool can provide a solution.  Tilt Angle calibration is required for vehicles with the Auto Hold parking brake control, this could be after crash damage or sensor replacement when calibration is required for the correct operation of this system.

The Land Rover Tool has the following functions:
- Resets the service indicator on the vehicle
- EPB Release - Releases the cable to allow the brakes to be changed on the vehicle
- Cable Reset - Resets the cable after the emergency cable release has been activated
- EPB Un-jam - Allows the EPB to be un-jammed when the vehicle has entered a state when brakes screech when applying the park brake, the rear brakes squeak or rub when the vehicle is moving or there is evidence of shoe-drag.
- Clear Codes - This allows the user to clear any codes that are on or have been present as a result of the emergency cable being activated or the park brake becoming jammed.

VAG tool Functions:
- Open Callipers - Retracts callipers to allow access to the pads and discs safely, also required when fitting a new calliper, park brake motor, wheel hub etc.
- Close Callipers - After servicing the calliper can be returned to the correct position.
- Basic Setting - Cycles the braking system 3 times to allow correct movement and function to be checked.
- Open Calliper With Pad Change - For the A8 the wear indicator is also reset by entering the pad thickness either after new or cleaned pads have been fitted to the vehicle.
- Close Calliper With Pad Change - For the A8 the wear indicator reset is confirmed using this process.
- Tilt Angle Calibration - For vehicles fitted with "Auto Hold" systems this sensor can be re-calibrated after removal or replacement.
