How Do You Change Audi TT Brakes?
The Audi TT is a twin turbo sports car made by the Audi division of Volkswagen. The TT’s brakes use a caliper and rotor design for all four wheels to maximize clamping force on the rotors and improve braking. Over time, the pad material will wear down as the lining, or brake pad, is worn away by friction. When the pads are 1/8 inch, you need to change the brakes. Loosen the lug nuts on the front driver’s side by turning them counterclockwise 1/4 turn. Jack the Audi up off the ground using the factory jack point in the front and rear of the vehicle. These jack points are located behind the radiator (front) and behind the trunk, near the bumper (rear). Place a jack stand under each of the four pinch welds located in the front and rear of the TT under the car. Continue to loosen and remove the wheel lug nuts and pull the wheel off the wheel hub assembly. Loosen the upper and lower caliper mounting bolts and remove the caliper. It will still be attached to the brake system by a rubber brak
