Cheap tools are on ebay around £50. There are a couple of videos on YouTube for manually releasing them (one using a 12v battery) but I'm not sure I would use that method. Is purchasing VCDS not an option? Would be handy seeing you have at least two VAG cars.

You also need a wind-back tool - not one that spins the piston, but one that presses it in. Opening caliper with VCDS doesn't pull the piston in, it just allows it to be pressed in..
You are supposed to undo the bleed nipple first too. If you don't have the wind-in tool, you might get away with prying against the old pads though.
