Good luck with this John.
I'll be watching for your result. Shout if you need someone to watch you do it, might be able to fit a few minutes in between visiting times.

The A6 caliper is two wire, + and -, where as the A8 has a hall sensor and 4 wires in total. I guess the motor inside could be identical. I which I kept my old EPB to open up but I returned it to get the deposit back. The A6 uses 2.5mm cable and the A8 4mm. It worth taking a look to save some cash.

One bonus is I’ve just found and pulled the two 30 amp fuses (above battery) so now the EPB is disabled. A rather wonderful side effect of this being the warning noise above 5mph is also disabled!!!

Predictable update: it physically works, but the hall sensor, which I transferred to they new EPB housing, a la MacGyver, is not sending a signal so I’ve a MIL. Which other than being annoying won’t pass an MOT, due in August.
Was worth a try I guess. Hmmmm....

Oh well, at least you tried, and didn't cost that much to experiment.

All sorted, got a TRW (OEM) unit. Fitted, cleared faults about 5 times, cycled the ignition and it stuck. EPB now works well, and more quietly than it has in a while.
