This video will shows how to replace front brake pads on 2009-2015 Audi A4 B8. I believe VW Golf GTI has the same brakes and this video might be applicable to these brakes as well.
Before you start, call you Audi dealer to check what brakes you have installed on your car. There are 3 different brakes configurations available on the A4. The dealer will tell you what pads you need for your car. Overall I think this was one of the easier brake jobs I have done.

Just an advice for the future. Do not remove the old pad from the cylinder side when pressing it back in. This way you press against the old pad instead of the cylinder and prevent potential damage to it.

Thanks. Good vid. New pads came from dealer with adhesive on the back surfaces. That may be why the old ones stick upon removal. I placed an old pad against the surface of the piston to protect it from any stray blows, and used a small ball-peen hammer to tap the protruding edge of the backing. Popped off after several well-placed taps. (On the other side, the backing actually stayed with the pad as I removed. No tapping required there.)

how come your didn't have the front rotors turned or replace them ($33 ea at Autozone)?? I thought you're always supposed to do one or the other.

Just get a vagcom or an OBD11 to electronically unlock and move back the piston last time I did it manually I had to replace the whole caliper

Are there any special tools needed to remove the rotors? I wouldn't think so, but I don't know Audis very well. It is mentioned to special tools are needed in this video which is helpful.

Great video. One question: is there sensors on both sides of the car? My seems to have this sensor wire only on one side. The other side have this contact plugged.

Vince Laglisse only one side has a sensor

will B8 A4 calipers fit the B6/B7 A4 with B7 S4 rotors? I know B8 S4 and S5 calipers will work on B6/B7 A4 with S4 rotors but will B8 S4 calipers fit?

Can I replace my break pads without having to change the rotor?

handy vid bit dont you need to take the cap off the brake fluid res ?

@TheRealMeCoWhy 5 жыл бұрын

I usually do that. I guess missed to capture it on this video.

U didnt have to bleed the lines???

@Dalske4214 5 жыл бұрын

No, you just have to make sure the cap is off the reservoir when you push the caliper back in. There's no reason for there to be any air bubbles in the lines because you didn't disconnect any lines.
