DIY'd the brakes and rotors on my B8 RS5 and saved $3.2K
Same here!
Changing the pads on my rs5 soon, debating on which pads I should buy. You guys recommend any?
Elias Bako I use the Hawk HPS 5.0 Performance Pads. Highly recommend them! No noise whatsoever and WAY less brake dust. I ordered them through ECS tuning
@@TonyC317 EBC red stuff from ecs tuning was my choice, very happy with it. I didn't replace the rotors, just the pads.
I need brake pads for the ceramic discs on my 2009 Audi S8 5.2 V10...and suggestions??
Eddie, why not the Audi Miami North Service Department?! jk
Hahahahahahaha
Lmaooooooooo I never take my Audi there like 200 just to look at it.
They'd charge like 2000 per axle
I guess Im kinda off topic but do anybody know a good website to stream newly released series online?
@Dakari Elliot i would suggest FlixZone. Just google for it =)
I have a used 2012 Panamera Turbo. I was shocked to find out the dealer quote for the brakes was ~6k. I've basically never done any repair work myself. Did some research and watched quite a few youtube vids, bought Zimmerman rotors and Textar pads and installed them myself for about 1.2k including tools. Fulfilling way to save :)
same story on my "20 S7. 4500 dealer, 1300 ME !
All brake jobs are the same and I've changed many both foreign and domestic IMO, the money these stealerships charge you is ridicules!
The way to do it. Always been paying way less on my previous m3 e46 for rotors and pads than my friend for his 118d.
That brake noise is crazy with a car like that! Thanks for capturing that and doing the vid.
Yeah, definitely had to show how bad they were 😬 completely silent now
Hi Eddie, just found your channel and I really like your content! I have an Acura, not an Audi, but still dope following you and the car.
Great job finding a deal on those parts. I never pay full price for anything. Wheel and deal...everything!
Great vid. Just saw you with stradman!!
I did the same thing on my C7 A6 and my old B8 A4. Total cost was like $500 vs $1500+ at the dealership.
Fantastic!...Useful info.
Daamn bro I love your car
Did the brakes (pads and rotors) on a 2005 VW Touareg. Very similar process actually. Toughest bakes I have ever done by far.
Smart man, dealers be ripping people off
Great Content!
Great video 🤝
Im considering on buying a Audi Rs7 I love the way this car looks
Eddie I own a 2014 Audi RS 7 need the information for the rear Brake rotors, I replaced my factory brake pads with Hawk pads and they're Great (No brake dust) but good bite
Great info. 👍
Should’ve done them yourself, and not pay someone for a job you can do on a Sunday morning.
Some people have 0 mechanical skill and are scared to even try , im so glad I grew up a mechanic and never have taken a car to a shop
He’s a pansy and can’t do a simple brake job. He thinks he has some special exotic car. It’s an overpriced Volkswagen with regular ass brakes.
@EddieX i have 60k miles on my 2014 RS6 and brakes are still good, i'm on my third brake pad set and will probably last for the 4th one also. Probably the OEM parts for USA are different. Had no squeaking problems.
Wait, you're on the third pad set on the same original rotors?
@@PanameraTurboSEHybrid Exactly, my mechanic told me that i have enough "meat" on them for another set. But i will most likely change them with the 4th set just to be sure. An for the back pads, i changes to second set at around 70k km (45k miles). I dont go to tracks with it, but i dont drive slowly either :) Maybe US parts are from a different material or dealer there just want to milk customers out of their money. Thats what they do here at least. (I'm from Europe btw).
Intersting., they have been doing the same scalpel thing in the automotive metal blanking industry for the body sheet as they did to the breaks for the audi
Hey Eddie, great video as always. I did have a question regarding the brake job. Did you consider using FCP Euro? They have lifetime warranties on all their parts (including wear items such as rotors and pads). They have OEM front rotors as low as $392.97 and Genuine Audi pads for as little as $95.54 and OE for $54.89. I was just curious if there was a reason you stayed away from them or not.
Your front rotors on your website are $877 each…?
@@Ryan-jv7on parts prices have skyrocketed this year for every car now. Minimum of 45% in the last 8 months.
I work at a Mazda dealer and we were doing a trade appraisal on a 2013 S6 and it needed new brakes and I think we quoted him around $3000
That first aid kit is for audi owners when they find out they have to pay 5k for new brakes and rotors
And then later find out that changing brakes is easy and they can do it themselves for less than 500 dollars
The original rotors seemed fine to me. Can’t you go through two sets of pads per set of rotors?
I can’t stand “car guys” who can’t do a simple brake job.
E90 335i Amen
I would have just replaced the pads for now and after another 10k km I would have done rotors and pads. That's what I did on my RS5 which has the same rotors, I took out at OEM pads and put EBC red stuff, got rid of all squealing.
Also the OEM ceramic pads for my RS7 performance cracked after like 10k miles and were squealing and grinding like crazy. Luckily they were replaced under warranty...
EBC Redstuff is absolute rubbish. PAGIDs are high end proper pads that are designed for heavy use high heat cycles. I use to do a lot of track racing and the EBC Redstuff just went to shit after a few proper race days. We're not talking running up and down a drag strip. We're talking full ball circuit racing. Gave up on the EBC anything and switched to the PAGID Blacks... race pads. night and day difference. Eddie chose the RIGHT brake pads. The other reason for changing ROTORS and pads at the same time is allowing the bedding in process and the pads and rotors to bed identically and match wear patterns for maximum grip and performance and longevity of the brake pads and improved braking. Cycling rotors and pads differently like you suggest reduces braking performance and efficiencies. Eddie has done this correctly. You are clueless bro
Eddie in my country in Audi for a OEM first aid kit it's 9 bucks, i doubt it's 300 in US
I've actually seen options for first aid kits as much as $500 on German and Japanese cars, so I wouldn't be surprised if his was $300.
Nice cost saving! 👍
Not sure why you just didn't do the labor yourself man...my god this is like the easiest thing ever.
I think the first aid kit is mandatory in some European countries and so are road triangles. I think there's a law that you must stop and help someone in an accident or you can get in trouble
Yes but do they make the OE brake dust galore ?
Do you know if I can get identical rotors for my A7?
So true, brake sensors on my e92 m3 are like 100+ at the dealer I bought them for 20$ from a parts store... same thing
Admir Hajdarevic better yet, reuse the old ones
@@serjiang Yeah if you manually check the pad wear and yank them before they burn the sensor you'll never need a new sensor haha
Admir Hajdarevic do you even own a BMW? You know you can check the brake wear on the dash right? It’ll show how many miles til needing replacement.
@@serjiang are you serious? That is simply a service interval... its just recommended mileage from BMW they don't actually reflect your REAL brake wear.. You're right I don't own a BMW I own an M :)
Do u have to bleed the lines when changing pads and rotors
Glad to know it can be done at a non ridiculous price but still with quality parts. Great job Eddie! 🙌🏾 💯 I'm still suspect on the Carquest pads 😳
Yeah! I was a bit nervous about those pads, but they look fine, they are on the rear brakes, I'll see how they do!
I have the same first aid kit on my 5 year old car still in oem wrap 😂
Carbon ceramics sound cool to have but suck when they are cold and you only see the performance on the track.
Fcpeuro is a great source for parts for euro cars.
You got any recs in the Boston area for a shop comparable to the work done here?
I hear autobahn performance in Peabody is good
I've went with ECS running rotors and aftermarket pads. For everything almost 2500 for it. You can get all 4 rotors from ecs for 1800. Best way to go imo. That's on my rs5.
Saves money on parts, has overpriced shop do the work. LMAO
It’s hard to find a good knowledgeable shop in Michigan, they look decent.
I have a 2016 Audi s7 haven’t driven In 2 years now the obd ll scanner will not connect & the air has mad the car squat real low to the ground how can I fix this problem ?
I went to an 'audi specialist' local to me, he changed the rear brake pads on my S7... (i thought it was the rears that needed changing after light came on - felt low! but in fact it's the front.) told me he cannot change the fronts, since it needs a special tool.. does he know what he's talking about!? and if he doesn't, I'm amazed he changed the rears... :/ - someone advise pls.
Any exhaust mods!?
Good job! Take that, stealership...
This video is on RUclips... Why not put the parts list here?!
All audi's come with a first aid kit 😂 it's not an option
How much was the labor ?
What rimes with Phagot ?
do you have for the r8 2014 part number i cant find online
To confirm this would not void the CPO warranty. right?
Keith Sommerstad wear and tear parts shouldn’t void anything.
Aventador has Metrolina Auto Group license plate!! haha..
0:22 It’s not just a 3 series eddie, it’s a 335is 🔥
dont need sensors can just loop the wire
Why do new brakes need to be bedded in, but original brakes from the factory never require this?
Even Charles Shackleford (The Humble Mechanic, VAG Expert Mechanic) couldn’t answer this.
The oe brakes are noisy because they’re meant for track usage. Not ideal for everyday normal use because they screech when they’re not hot or warm enough.
Not many shops will install customer sourced parts for liability and business reasons so good luck with that...
I know this is old, but why not use FCP Euro for lifetime warranty on the parts?
They didn't offer RS7 rotors :/
My M6 here in the summer sounds horrid with carbon ceramics. I am going to either a 911 or a E63S ... but never again
I did my Bmw 435i blue M sport fixed caliper brake myself. Easy as f??k
do you still have the old rotors ?
No I gave them to Pagid, they wanted to check out the parts off the car
Change your brake pads at 70% wear, no disk damage
a good shop can turn those rotors and save you some cash
Nope. Can't be done on these rotors. They are too thin. A friend tried to do it on his and they ended up warping.
Eddie is correct, these cannot be turned.
They are also too big for most shop lathes, I ran into this issue on my S8.
Why do you need the software to release the rear hand brake. Can't you just release it in the car?
Not with some of the Audi's. Has to be done through vagcom
@@EddieX Whats the easiest way to get the tech/software to do this? I have a B9 S4
@@tmitch45 VCDS/Vagcom cable from rosstech. Or check the forums and groups and see if someone local will let you borrow it
@@EddieX Thanks for the advice!
My rear rotors cost me $40 each. What a world.
I don't think Derrick is human.🤔
rick mcintosh robot
I don't think anyone pays MSRP for that car. It's always leased or bought used at 30-40% off (1-2 years used). In other words, not many people pay the full MSRP amount. On top of that, who pays MSRP? you can probably get 10k off the 115k for just showing interest.
Does this guy blow dry his hair?
Seems like a math error on front caliper pin. @3:19 two pins, 52$ each, should be 104 total.
Kid at @7:48 hammer the car?
Hammer the rotor to get it off, can be real pain in the rear
It's a deadblow, not a problem.
$30 bucks for the first aid kit lol
Man that Audi is just pure filth!! 👌🏻🔥🔥👏🏻
um i just did my brakes on my altima for 100 bucks lmaooo
#builtnotbought
💵💵💵
replace transmission brakes wow what next new motor LOL
Geee. Steel rotos yet 5k ? Shiiiiit
Just say no to ECS Tuning.
Why she is so quite ??? Make it loud straight pipe it
Buys an expensive car . Then demands cheap parts and labor. to maintain said vehicle.
Why should you pay more if you don't have to
Nothing wrong with saving.
If its about saving than why would you buy a RS7? why not just buy a Honda Civic?
You just don't get it.
So mainly you buy your parts from the dealer? Anybody with a German car should no not to spend close to 200 dollars for brake sensors when you can get the same one's for 12 to 15 dollars. It's just smart
You are aware you don't change rotors every brake change
On this car you do. Rotors have a very thin usable material. They were measured and needed to be replaced.
@@EddieX I guess it's the price of owning a high end car, does seem alittle excessive for them to design the rotors like this, I've only ever heard of that type of wear and tear on indy and nascar vehicles. Regardless it is a beautiful car👍🏽
why are u talking so fast
I got charged $10,000 yes $10K. 🤦🏻♂️
Yes this is the price that I paid at the Audi Dealership.
For rotors and pads? WTF
Jeeeezzzzuuussss!!
Tehgziz Lauw yes this is coming from a person who went to an Audi dealership
Christ!!!
It's even worse when you find out it's like 4ish bolts per wheel.
People that buy RS7’s aren’t really too worried about the price of maintenance. If they did, they wouldn’t of bought it in the first place
1st!!!
👍
@@EddieX -- can i speak with you? i'm doing a project for one of my MBA classes. I had a few questions about RUclipsrs.
Jeeeesus you talk sooo much.
These are Chinese made junk, they’ll wobble and shake your car aggressively. Return them, you have no choice, you need to get back there dealer and let them run your card.
Jane Dogh LOL
Y are you screaming?
People that can really afford an RS7 aren't complaining about a $3500-$5K brake job.
Some people that can afford expensive vehicles also likes to find deals on parts where available if one search around (like Eddie for example). I have a Panamera and a Ghost, I'm not going to pay those prices if there's better prices for the same thing.....I work on my own cars so I will also save huge on labor. I haven't replaced them on my cars yet since they're both very low mileage vehicles.
We are complaining that dealers usually cost 2-3 times for the same job. Even tho we can afford to pay the dealer prices, why should we waste the money when we can do it ourselves and we can buy something else with the rest of the money, another spare set for example.
Some of us are mechanically inclined and can do things for ourselves. It's not complaining. A fool and his money are soon parted.
Act your wage man... If you can't afford new brakes for your car, then you shouldn't own that car!!!
dumbass, it's not about acting your wage, it's about being smart and not wasting money. He was smart and took time to save a few grand. why the fuck not? Just cause you own a nice expensive car you need to get reamed on maintenance? idiot
Manny Land he’s not saving money he’s being fucking cheap that’s what he’s doing.
@@ryanlevyy now say it without crying!
You can afford 100k+ car and don't have money to do brake repair? 😂
Why to buy car that you can't actually afford.
