Very helpful, I already had them changed by Audi and paid, two years later
I am not sure they even did anything to the rotors because they look worn
and squeak. The warranty is over and it is time to control the maintenance
costs. Will give this task a try as soon as I get the parts. thx
I just ordered and received my replacement rotors, and they are 320mm as i
need, however there is no torx bolt on the new rotors, the company
imordered them from say the new rotors are correct and i dont need the torx
screw – do u think thats true?
There is a lot a of factors that go into that decision so it would be
difficult to give you a clear answer. If your wondering if you absolutely
need to change the rotors then you need to get them mic’ed and if possible
turned. You should be good to go after that. If you don’t mind email me
with what your planning on doing then I could give you a much clearer
answer. violatedzero@gmail.com
Where do you recommending sourcing parts to do this yourself? I’ve been
told and read that one should change the rotors along with the pads
especially for the first change due to the softer or thinner rotor used by
Audi. The concern being that new pads will excessively wear the old rotor.
Any comments on advice on this? Thanks -bulls
Very useful actually. I have a Haynes manual that was slightly useful, but
I couldn’t finish the project because it was Sunday and I couldn’t get my
rotors turned that day. Going to have to do it Friday or Saturday. It
answered a few questions I had. I’m comfortable doing brakes but on the
Audi it’s a wee bit different as far as some smaller details are concerned.
So TY.
Thanks for the video. Did my pads and rotors at all 4 corners today. It
would have taken me longer than 2 hours if it wasn’t for this video.

Glad i could help
Video would be better if you were a tad more descriptive. for example. you
say take off the rotor with a torx attachment. You never clarify what size.

Thank you so much for the video! First time break changer and It was easy
as hell with your instructions!
It should, If it doesn’t try holding the odometer reset (0.00) then turn
the key to the first position and then press the service button.

light on the dashboard go out automatically?

@gpb8650 Thanks man!
true….note taken thx!
Hey, I think you’re OK. most other car manufacturers don’t use anything.
The lug nuts and wheels end up holding the rotor in place.
