brake

My 2012 A3 2.0TDI has been off the road for well over 2 years now with a weird brake fault where the brake pedal won't go firm, no matter how many times it's bled or what parts have been replaced. I've gone to the extreme of blocking off the brake pipes at the ABS pump and bleeding it fully...

As there seems to be plenty of tehcincal knowledge on this forum, I thought why not ask if somebody knows about these sounds. They may not be really issues, but it would be nice to know what's going on. When I park the car, I usually just hit the start/stop button, when the car automatically...

Morning all Would like to bleed the master cylinder, I figured it’s behind/under the brake reservoir bottle - and it probably is - but I can barely see the master cylinder let alone the two bleed nipples. Any ideas? Thanks! 2014 2.0 TDI

Please help point me in the right direction! Q7 2007 rear light issues (multiple) Number plate - The lamp on the left (looking at the rear of the car) is lit, but the number plate lamp on the Right it out. I have replaced the bulb, but still does not work. Bulb tested for continuity and...

Hello. I have looked everywhere and i cant seem to find the rotor sizes. Called Audi and different aftermarket rotor manufacturers with not too much help. My car is a US based model 2017 Audi A4 2.0L Premium FWD. I have attached a picture of the PR Codes sticker in the trunk if this helps but i...

Anyone know what clip is required for attaching the top of the hose to the hole in the body? Surprised to find the new hoses didn't come with the clip :( Cheers, Paul

Hi all, just had my car MOT’d at Audi Stoke. At the same time I had the brake fluid changed as recommended. On the visual check they advised the rear pads were 70% worn. I’m not replacing them yet. However Iv had the car about a week and it’s been fine but yesterday and today when I start the...

Hi All, Firstly, thanks for taking the time to read my post! I'm after a little guidance on what I need. From all the other posts I've read I can see I need the carriers from a car with a PR code of these: 1ZA 1ZC 1ZM 1ZD 1LJ. My PR code is 1ZE. My car is a 2013 8VA 2.0TDI CRBC 150BHP Mapped...

I'm in the process of upgrading my brakes to Maccan calipers. In the process thought why not have a go at doing some work on the cooling as it's clear the B8/B8.5 platform haven't really accommodated for this! What I'll do is upgrade this post as I get things done. I know others have done it...

Hi guys Pretty much self explanatory, i bought a S3 8V 2014 literally couple days ago and i noticed on 1 side it has a missing brake caliper plate. Does anyone have any spare i can buy or any used ones, it is the driver side caliper that has it missing. anything will be much appreciated!

So just got my car back from AmD now currently stage2+ but my brakes are juddering on heavy braking assuming a warped disk so I’m looking at upgrading. Looking at the k sport 356mm 8pots kit (link below) my question is are 356 overkill and should I be looking at the 330mm? And has anyone any...

Looking around for a brake caliper with electronic handbrake motor attached but not finding any in stock anywhere, probably due to the current situation, wondering what the best websites for carparts are for Audi's to have a look for any in stock? any help appreciated! Need the drivers side...

Hey My backing plate has decided to corrode itself and needs coming off as it is making a right racket. Is this easy enough to do or is it a garage job?

Hi, Apparently the rear brake line is excessively corroded after just 3 years after a genuine VAG replacement. My question: does the fuel tank need to be dropped to remove/refit? I understand it passes over it but unaure if this prevents it from being pulled out. Does the entire brake system...

So I’m looking at giving me a little more stopping power as I’m heading towards stage 2+. Question is am I wasting money putting on new disks and pads, do I just keep oem and add some braided lines and better brake fluid ? I’ve seen the vagbremtechnic kit on awesome gti with pads, disks and...

Hi guys, Where can I find the OE numbers for my brake pads/discs. I have found the sticker on the service book in the car but that doesn't help. Any suggestions? Im looking to get new pads/discs on euro parts but they don't specify the codes. Any help? Cheers

Morning everyone My first post on here. I was hoping for some advice on scan tools I'm going to replace my abs pump due to a goosed pressure switch. (Cheaper to change the whole pump) I've got a cheap bluetooth scan tool but I'm looking for an upgrade that will scan and activate the abs pump to...

Hi Guys I have a Audi S3 8v which has had some damage done to the steering column and some of the wiring harness/loom is missing that connects to key barrel and steering wheel I need to get the car to a garage but cant move it because theres no ignition and cant release the electronic parking...

When driving I occasionally hear a metallic sound coming from the front drivers side wheel area, however, this is only when I'm driving slow. The first video is me trying to turn the front passenger wheel when jacked, and the second video is me trying to turn the front driver's side wheel...

Hi all, Was looking for any sort of advice or direction. So, as described in the title, they’re the symptoms. Performance wise, it’s still running absolutely fine. I’ve not felt a change in power or the brakes. I took it to an auto-electrician for a scan, and it shown: “16352 - Control...
