WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 19 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi S5, 2017 Audi A5 Quattro, 2016 Audi S5, 2016 Audi A5 Quattro, and 2015 Audi S5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required

Brake Pressure Gauge:VAG1310A

NOTE:

Additional adapters may be needed in order to connect Brake Pressure Gauge:VAG1310A to the caliper.

Before beginning:

Check brake system (brake master cylinder, brake hoses, brake lines and brake calipers) for proper seal and function.

High pressure testing:

-- Remove the bleed screw at one of the front brake calipers. Connect the Brake Pressure Gauge:VAG1310A and bleed.

-- Apply pressure to brake pedal until the gauge indicates a pressure of 50 bar.

The pressure must not drop by more than 4 bar during the test period of 45 seconds.

If pressure drop is large, replace hydraulic unit.

Low pressure testing:

-- Push the Brake Pedal Actuator :VAG1869/2 back until the pressure gauge indicates 6 bar positive pressure.

-- The pressure must not drop by more than 1 bar during a test period of 3 minutes.

If pressure drop is large, replace hydraulic unit.
