The brand of pads fitted in this video are Brembo as I was upgrading, I have placed a link for the original TRW pads below:

I'd have been lost without this help. My A7 has these exact same brakes. All other videos have different callipers for A7 videos😅

[@RyansWorkshop]

Happy I could help

[@JaferSabir]

Great video Ryan, you put in some effort explaining how to retract the piston, and fitting the sensor cabe back on, etc, exactly what viewers need to see. Very well put together. Keep it up!

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thank you very much, I hope to create some detailed videos in the near future 👍

[@rosscopeeco69]

Thanks for this video. I was confused as previous owner had put the spring clips on wrong but your video sorted me out.

[@RyansWorkshop]

Happy I could help

[@lol89222]

I just finish the brake pads replacement on my C7 now as I write this!! This video just helped me a lot!! Thank you very much! Best of luck for the channel! Greatings from Portugal!

[@RyansWorkshop]

Happy to help, and thank you.

[@rob9461]

This video was very helpful, saved me a lot of money on garage prices. Just wanted to say Thankyou for a useful video 👍🏻

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thank you, happy I could help

[@bernard.8355]

Best of luck with the new channel, it would be great to see more a6 c7 content

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thank you, are yeah I'm sure there will be more a6 content in the future 👍

[@jeffick]

Well done Ryan, made it look easy doing the a6 front and rear brakes

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thank you

[@ianwright5968]

Thanks Ryan, This was very helpful as its the only video I could find which had the same calipers as my car, I also changed the discs while I was at it and for general information this requires loosening / removing the caliper mounting frame bolts which I re-torqued at 110 Nm according to internet info I found. Great video thanks.

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thank you, Glad it helped, and thanks for sharing the additional info for other viewers

[@robinsoderman7557]

Thanks mate, the audi workshop wanted 400 quid to do this, now i paid 30 :D

[@RyansWorkshop]

Happy I could help 👍

[@marcink5342]

Thank you for this video it was very helpful. Actually, I used OBDeleven Diagnostic car scan Tool to retracted piston. But I replaced the brake pads for the first time so all the other tips came in handy.

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thanks, glad I could help

[@stevencooper5689]

Nicely done. Best video I've come across hand's down! And the fact you're doing it at night! Fair play 👏 certainly giving me the confidence for Saturday when I do my pads. Any idea if the brake pad warning light dissappears when the new sensor is installed or is it a case of having the code wiped? Thanks

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thank you very much, and the brake pad warning light will disappear automatically when the new pad sensor is installed correctly and providing there are no faults in the sensor circuit.

[@carpcatcher7414]

Very helpful video, and very well explained. Thanks.

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thank you, happy I could help

[@kevinmccarty5931]

Very helpful, hopefully I'll be able to do my own brakes

[@RyansWorkshop]

Glad to help

[@matr4787]

Hi Ryan, your video help me a lot. Thanks to you, I replace myself brake pad and disk, I save 1100€. In France, changing brake in Audi is so expensive. By the way can you make a video on bleeding the cooling system for Audi A6 C7?

[@RyansWorkshop]

Glad I could help, maybe I can make a video in the near future

[@vvvvali]

Thank you, great video!

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thanks, happy I could help

[@smarttsquad9235]

Thank you so much for your assistance. This has been a great help 💯

[@abu9357]

It may be that the only thing i ever appreciatet with this car was that it was riding quietly. I watched your awesome vid, took on the Mission an changed both brakes and now i have a really weird noise. It starts at around 40 km/h and just gets louder. Like a helicopter noise. Friend who help me said it will eventually go away but hasn't after 2000 km drive 😭

[@RyansWorkshop]

You should maybe check the brake disc guard that sits just behind the disc to protect it, make sure it hasn't been damaged and is rubbing on the disc.

[@UniverseUnhinged]

Great video. Could you just list off all the tools and sizes you need to replace both front and back discs and pads please? Would be a massive help! Thank you 🙏

[@ohitslit]

Awesome my man👍🏽💯

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thank you

[@souls_gt7120]

Wow this is so simple if someone good with tools easy job 😊 Audi Quoted £373 for replacing my Front Pads only. WTF 😳 Thank you for this Video mate much appreciated, now if you can show to to do Rear brakes Pads please 😊

[@RyansWorkshop]

Glad I could help, Audi dealerships do charge a lot for such simple jobs sometimes, and as for the rear pads, I will be doing a video on that soon, as mine are due to be changed.

[@GiorgioOG]

Nice one!! Really helpful mate🤗

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thank you

[@abu9357]

I changed my brakes with help from this video, but i mounted that spring wrong and it fel of after one day. Should i be worried? Seems like i can live without it

[@RyansWorkshop]

Hello, the springs main purpose is to prevent noise and vibration, so not having one could result in noisy brakes and vibration which over time could potentially cause premature wear of the brakes, although it's not urgent I would advice replacing it at some point, they are relatively inexpensive from various online suppliers.

[@boc3264]

Great video, thanks a mill.

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thanks, glad I could help

[@beastbody5848]

Hi, Where about you base mate? I have Audi A6 C7 facelift and I need some jobs.Im from South Yorkshire and I hope you not far away as I have few jobs to do with my Audi. I look forward to hearing back from you

[@deanwelsh5702]

The calliper carrier should have been cleaned and greased where the pads contact it as they can stick if you don’t .

[@pnmbmw]

Great work.

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thanks

[@GMR_Works]

Great video!

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thank you

[@slowmovinpaddy]

Great video thanks

[@TimotejHofbauer]

Great video, can you also do it for the rear? Thanks!

[@RyansWorkshop]

Thanks, I will be doing the rear brakes sometime in the near future

[@bigmaxxybyrne1063]

The brake light came on for me… so I went for the pads they didn’t come with new sensors so I taught what the hell I will use the old ones…. So the passenger side sensor was cut with the wires joined…… replaced the pads didn’t go near sensors…. Brake light still on the dash…. So I got new rear pads and sensors I’m hoping this will solve the light on dash 🤞🏻

[@RyansWorkshop]

.

[@darranhunter5074]

I've just replaced my front pads but the warning light has stayed on - is it supposed to go off straight away or after a few miles of driving? Any ideas how to reset?

[@RyansWorkshop]

The warning light should go off as soon as the new pad sensor is plugged in, I would suggest checking all the wiring for any damage and that the sensor is securely plugged in

[@przemyslawklass1984]

Does the dashboard warning light go away after the whole operation? or do you have to reset it through a computer

[@RyansWorkshop]

The brake pad warning light will disappear automatically when the new pad sensor is installed correctly and providing there are no faults in the sensor circuit. hope this helps.

[@PatDro98]

pad wear sensor is only on the left side or on the left on the right ?

[@RyansWorkshop]

The sensor is only on the one side.

[@oldjackrussellpub8240]

good morning whats the draper tool for piston called ??? thanks

[@RyansWorkshop]

Hello, it's called a speed clamp.

[@elirankeiser8468]

You forgot to grease the pads

[@boatboyxd1863]

Hi, after changing break pads break system get weaker. Not same as before! Help!!

[@RyansWorkshop]

The new pads will need time to bed in before maximum brake performance is achieved.

[@joekynaston3670]

Useful video. Not very good sound

[@RyansWorkshop]

It was recorded on an old camera
