Great video Ryan, you put in some effort explaining how to retract the piston, and fitting the sensor cabe back on, etc, exactly what viewers need to see. Very well put together. Keep it up!
I just finish the brake pads replacement on my C7 now as I write this!! This video just helped me a lot!! Thank you very much! Best of luck for the channel! Greatings from Portugal!
Thanks Ryan, This was very helpful as its the only video I could find which had the same calipers as my car, I also changed the discs while I was at it and for general information this requires loosening / removing the caliper mounting frame bolts which I re-torqued at 110 Nm according to internet info I found. Great video thanks.
Thank you for this video it was very helpful. Actually, I used OBDeleven Diagnostic car scan Tool to retracted piston. But I replaced the brake pads for the first time so all the other tips came in handy.
Nicely done. Best video I've come across hand's down! And the fact you're doing it at night! Fair play 👏 certainly giving me the confidence for Saturday when I do my pads. Any idea if the brake pad warning light dissappears when the new sensor is installed or is it a case of having the code wiped? Thanks
Thank you very much, and the brake pad warning light will disappear automatically when the new pad sensor is installed correctly and providing there are no faults in the sensor circuit.
Great video. Could you just list off all the tools and sizes you need to replace both front and back discs and pads please? Would be a massive help! Thank you 🙏
It may be that the only thing i ever appreciatet with this car was that it was riding quietly. I watched your awesome vid, took on the Mission an changed both brakes and now i have a really weird noise. It starts at around 40 km/h and just gets louder. Like a helicopter noise. Friend who help me said it will eventually go away but hasn't after 2000 km drive 😭
I changed my brakes with help from this video, but i mounted that spring wrong and it fel of after one day. Should i be worried? Seems like i can live without it
Hello, the springs main purpose is to prevent noise and vibration, so not having one could result in noisy brakes and vibration which over time could potentially cause premature wear of the brakes, although it's not urgent I would advice replacing it at some point, they are relatively inexpensive from various online suppliers.

I've just replaced my front pads but the warning light has stayed on - is it supposed to go off straight away or after a few miles of driving? Any ideas how to reset?
The warning light should go off as soon as the new pad sensor is plugged in, I would suggest checking all the wiring for any damage and that the sensor is securely plugged in
Hi Ryan, your video help me a lot. Thanks to you, I replace myself brake pad and disk, I save 1100€. In France, changing brake in Audi is so expensive. By the way can you make a video on bleeding the cooling system for Audi A6 C7?
Hi, Where about you base mate? I have Audi A6 C7 facelift and I need some jobs.Im from South Yorkshire and I hope you not far away as I have few jobs to do with my Audi. I look forward to hearing back from you
Wow this is so simple if someone good with tools easy job 😊 Audi Quoted £373 for replacing my Front Pads only. WTF 😳 Thank you for this Video mate much appreciated, now if you can show to to do Rear brakes Pads please 😊
Glad I could help, Audi dealerships do charge a lot for such simple jobs sometimes, and as for the rear pads, I will be doing a video on that soon, as mine are due to be changed.
The brake light came on for me… so I went for the pads they didn’t come with new sensors so I taught what the hell I will use the old ones…. So the passenger side sensor was cut with the wires joined…… replaced the pads didn’t go near sensors…. Brake light still on the dash…. So I got new rear pads and sensors I’m hoping this will solve the light on dash 🤞🏻

Happy I could help
Thanks for this video. I was confused as previous owner had put the spring clips on wrong but your video sorted me out.
Happy I could help

You should maybe check the brake disc guard that sits just behind the disc to protect it, make sure it hasn't been damaged and is rubbing on the disc.

Thank you so much for your assistance. This has been a great help 💯

Does the dashboard warning light go away after the whole operation? or do you have to reset it through a computer

Very helpful, hopefully I'll be able to do my own brakes
Glad to help

.
The calliper carrier should have been cleaned and greased where the pads contact it as they can stick if you don’t .
You forgot to grease the pads
Hi, after changing break pads break system get weaker. Not same as before! Help!!
The new pads will need time to bed in before maximum brake performance is achieved.
Useful video. Not very good sound
It was recorded on an old camera
