Description

Swapping Out Your Audi's Brake Pads — With RDA
> Brake pads? Yeah, they're what stops your Audi. Friction against the rotors is the name of the game. They wear down over time, especially if you're giving it heaps in an RS5 or carting the kids around in a Q5.
What Tipped You Off?
• Brakes sound like a flock of seagulls or a coffee grinder?
• Your Audi takes longer to stop than it used to?
• That pesky brake pad light's lit up on your dash?
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch slice?
• Tyres wearing unevenly?
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads? Almost guaranteed to fail a WOF here in NZ. They gotta be a certain thickness to keep you safe on the roads.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, a few things to keep in mind. Safety first, always! Never get under a car supported only by a jack – use proper jack stands. Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away all that nasty brake dust – it's not good to breathe in. And some Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean. Also, a wee bit of anti-seize grease on the caliper bolts will make life easier next time you're in there.
Expert Recommendation
Changing your brake pads is a no-brainer for keeping your Audi safe and sound. Dodgy pads mean longer stopping distances, which is never a good look. RDA pads are alright, but we've got heaps of options at CARFIX to suit your driving style and budget. Bob @ CARFIX is your man for sussing out the right part for your Audi. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your specific Audi model, year, and brake setup. Some models have different pad requirements depending on the trim level. Better to be safe than sorry – confirm fitment before you start.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
