Hi Tim. Very helpful and clearly presented guideline. Half year ago I replaced by myself xenon bulbs on a A3 8V after watching you vid. Now it was a time for brake pads - piece of cake thanks to you. Best regards from Poland!
Thanks for a great video! Never changed Brake pads before and the video was invaluable when changing them this morning. So far so good - warning light gone - car stops when I want it to and no strange noises. Thanks bud!

excellent informative video,not like half these twats that want to talk about themselves to long and forgetting what the aim of there video is lol,THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A VIDEO TO REPAIR THINGS , I always come back to this vid when its time to change the pads,just for a refresher :-)
need to do one chicks brakes on her a3 s line ... 08 plate..are the brakes the same? meaning the calipers are the same and will go back with these same tools your using ? trying to find out before I take the wheel off that I'd be able to do it ..I've got the tools just not one of them brakes winder tool thingy cool video through well explained thanks
Hi Mohammed, Not too sure, I don't recall the correct size as I never did complete the brakes on the 8p. All the fundamentals are the same just type of screw may differ. Take the wheel off and check so you know what calliper bolt it is, it could be an Allen key. Please like and subscribe! Hit the notification button to be updated immediately! TW
I have a 2013 non s-line 8v sport hatch. I was wondering if all the 8v's have the sensor? My fronts, from what I can see, look thin. But I was wondering if my car even has brake pad monitoring ? As I noticed, the function was turned off in Carista.
Is the brake sensor cable just on the front brakes? I have a problem with the brake light coming on in wet weather and bumpy roads. I think it's a loose connection.
Great video.. But can u show us replacement of rear ones ?? Because we have to use VCDS for the EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) Plz show us how to use VCDS for this too ??
Hey buddy. There are no videos of anybody replacing the HID D3S bulbs with LEDs. Not even for other models. If u ever plan on replacing.. plz do a video of it. I would love that. All the conversion kits have fan built in and the A3 has a screw type cap on it, which prevents the heat escape.. So very confusing..
What is this, changing pads on 2013 car? My A3 is 12 years/150 000km and no sign of bad brakes on any wheele! I see must be me as driver, never use brakes, almost, ha ha!

I got same as yours and yes they do have sensor
Is there a pad wear sensor on both of the front brakes or just one side?
hi mate,
just one side...

Nah mate, cleared automatically :)

Coat the bolt with threadlock so it does not get stuck?
I meant so it stays secure lol...thanks for notifying me Kamran :)

I don't think i would...heard bad stuff about the LEDS also they could mess up the lens...
TW Randomz oh ! In that case i wouldnt go that way ! 😐
