Does anyone know what the normal km interval is for changing the brake pads on audi ceramic brakes? The S8 is at 83k km now, and I am just wondering how long they normally last.
I am going with the car to germany soon, and if I need to change them I would like to do it there. 1/3 of the price in Norway. But, I guess they need to order the parts in advance for a brakepad change.....probably dont carry that in stock. If anyone can tell me the minimum measurment for brakepads on '07 S8 I would be very grateful.
The dealer I use in Germany, called me and said there was a call back on all cars with ceramic discs. He said that Audi will change and cover all costs for changing all the bolts that hold on the brake discs. Anyone else changed? typically, the Norwegian dealer had never heard of it.
Is it dangerous to drive with the old bolts still?
thanks
