    Looking to change my front break pads to something that is low on dust. I was looking around on a DYI and didn't find anything,is there anything I should know that might be special to these cars? I done breaks before, is it just pull caliber off and just replace the pads? Thanks

    Fronts are pretty standard but its an Audi not a Honda so torque it all to specs. Rear is a pain because of the ebrake from what I've read. For the rear you're suppose to use a vag com but I'm pretty sure you can just disconnect the battery and/or remove the plug for the ebrake. Just don't push the piston in get the right tool to screw it back in

    Pretty straightforward. The pad wear sensor is on the passenger side. The harness clip breaks easily.
