There will still be old fluid in the ABS pump unless it is activated and bled through the front calipers(?).

Great video. I have a couple of questions. the brake pads looked like they still had lots of life left in them. is there a reason for swapping them out? Second, can you rebuild the ecs 2 piece rotor? i assume it would be cheaper.

Does anyone know where I can buy that caliper compression tool!? I already have one that worked fine on the rear brakes, but since the front caliper is fully enclosed the tool I have won’t reach deep enough in between the front brake pads. Autozone doesn’t have that one, neither do Home Depot or Lowe’s. Can anyone share a link plz!? Thanks! 🙏🏻

Thank you kindly! This video was absolutely awesome. Learned a lot!

Hi Steven, Do you have part number to the rear bolts that need replaced? the one that need 100Nm torquing. I think you are calling it carrier bolt. I also hear that people just reuse them. Did you replace them or reuse them?

thanks for the video. if I'm replacing both the rear rotors and pads, do I only do the OBD scanner (moving brakes back and forward) once after both sides are done?

How do you like EBS yellowstuff pads ? I am debating yellow or red from EBC for SQ5

Hey are the EBC Yellow stuff pads good for everyday driver ?

OP - Not sure if you are still seeing this, but how do you like the ECS Tuning rotors that you used since you had them on for a while. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Would you buy them again? Thanks!

I just let the handbrake off with some bricks under the tyres 😅

Nice job. Is the torque spec for the caliper bolts the same for the rear? I’m wondering if the rear bolts are 1 time use. I need to change my wheel bearings and your video has been a great guide for getting the calipers off

Btw the bracket doesn’t need to come off for the brake line, there’s a clip that releases it from the bracket

Can you use the OBDEleven for the electronic parking brake?

Awesome to see your track video. Looks fun maybe one day I’ll take my s4 to the track.

Great video. Thank you. What locations are you using for Jack stands? I'm a B9 2018 A5 Sportback. With my jack on the pinch weld, I'm wondering where to place stands.

Hi is the rear brake sensor on the driver side or passenger side? My pads came with 2 rear sensors and my mechanic only use one of the new sensor and the other wasn’t use.

hello, this is great info, but i am wondering have you ever heard or expierenced hearing a squeaky brake pedal after doing a brake flush? I have a 2020 S4 and after getting a fluid flush, my brake pedal squeaks - usually when releasing the pedal.

Hi Steven, how can I reach out to you with a few questions about tracking with my 19 s5?

Crushed it, used this to do my 2020 RS5. Thanks for taking the time to put this out there!

Can I put new EBC red stuff brake pads without changing (OEM) rotors? Are red stuff pads compatible with original S5 B9 rotors?

do i need the vcds or obd11 for the park brake or no?

Please do check video description for latest tips!

What service manual did you use to get the bleed amounts? I have the brake system manual through erwin and don’t see that anywhere

NICE HOW PLANNED THE VIDEO IS FOR NICE CLEAN BOLT REMOVAL HAHAHAAA TRY TRY THAT ON A CAR ACTUALLY OUTSIDE!!!

Your videos are outstanding!

Thanks

You don't need that fancy $70 M10 TZN Stubby set. Turn the steering wheel to gain access to the bracket and caliper bolts. This will give you a full foot in there. For example, when working on the right front brake, turn the wheel to the left to access those bolts without special tools. I used the M10 bit from a $13 cheapo 'CASOMAN 9-Piece Low Profile Impact Triple Square Bit Socket Set' (amazon) and an old chunky husky wrench. Even this low profile kit is not needed, any old M10 laying around will fit. For the 21mm caliper bolt an 18" breaker bar is perfect once the wheel is turned, but a 24" would work too.

Where did you get this maintenance guide?

Nice video but your voice over skills need work, you remind me of the automated tik tok text to voice guy. Lmao.

Thanks for this great video! Approximately how much new fluid would you end up adding in total to do a complete flush? I've got my first ever track day coming up in a couple of months, so I'll be upgrading my brake fluid (higher boiling point Motul RBF 600 or 660) soon, along with new pads, rotors, and ss brake lines. I'm assuming it'll be a little over 1L in my case, since I want to ensure that all of the old fluid is replaced. I've got a 2010 4.2L 6MT Audi S5 btw

Horray! Thank you for the detailed information!

Rather than using the OBD tool why not just not set the parking brake in the first place? If it only locks the rear caliper I don’t see why it would need to be set once the rear tires are off the ground.

For the absolute life of me I cannot get these pads in I have no idea what I’m doing wrong

Where do you download these repair manuals? Do they have other systems like suspension, transmission or diffs?

What tool did you use to compress the caliper pistons?

Great step by step video .

No.

Are the carrier bolts the same length for upper and lower?

Thank you! Can I use this tutorial to replace the brake pads and rotors of 2018 B9 SQ5?

Can you use any odb scanner or do you need a specific one for Audi?

Excellent driving sir!

Fantastic video. Audi A4 Quattro here. First ever DIY brake job. Driver side took almost 2 hours but with experience the other side took 20 minutes. Tomorrow will do the rear. Thank you for the video.

Do the rotors "have to" be changed with the pads? Front and/or back.

Did it have any hardware on, or is it not needed?

Thanks for this super detailed tutorial! It hasn’t been easy finding information on doing the brakes on this Audi platform so I’m appreciate your video. Would you recommend the yellow stuff pads still?

Wait. Did I see 13/16 SAE socket?

you should never push brake fluid backwards - it can damage the abs system. open the calliper bolt as you push the pad back to release old fluid. put fresh fluid into the top reservoir. Other than that good video. I'd also clean the calliper with dragon blood to return to a new status. Yes, I have OCD.

Hi Steve, please edit the tightening specs for caliper bolts👋👋
