  • Quick side note: BEFORE you press the calipers back in makes sure that you open up your brake resrvoir and wrap a towel around it or remove some fluid as doing 4 wheels will cause it to overflow if your fluid level is at max before starting.

  • @shermanr6 Good Point, but technically you should never have to add brake fluid to the car, they engineer the car so that when the pads get thin enough, the brake fluid level drops to a certain point and and the brake fluid level sensor will detect the fluid low, and trigger the "Brake" light on the dash, thus indicating your pads are low. the only time the car will ever lose brake fluid, is if there is a serious problem and you actually have a brake fluid leak somewhere.

  • @APDTY You are correct but Audi's require a brake fluid flush every two years and when done the fluid level is filled to max so the chances of your fluid level and pad level canceling each other out is slim.

  • @shermanr6 Touché! Very valid point :)

  • Nice vid! I couldn't find u on facebook

  • One more comment. On the front you MUST remove two 21mm bolts in addition to the number 7 hex bolts in order to take off BOTH the pads and rotors. The rears do not require that you remove the carrier in order to take off the pads and rotors.

  • I have a 2002 Audi A6 Avant 3.0 Quatro with 340,000 miles on it. that's why I'm trying to learn how to fix it myself. Thanks for the video. Does this apply to my car? Also, the Tie Rods inner and outer and sleeve?

  • Great Video would love to learn and see more to further my A6 projects!!

  • thanks a lot for the video. My 08 a6 just hit 67k and i am getting concerned what typically happens with these cars once they get up in the mileage. where are you located and do u specialize on Audi's? I believe it may be time for some new rotors and pads. I would like to ask u a question as well if you could send me a message. thanks

    brian.
