General Information

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2015 Audi S7, 2015 Audi RS 7, 2015 Audi A7 Quattro, 2014 Audi S7, and 2014 Audi RS 7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

WARNING:

When working with brake fluid, observe relevant safety precautions and notes. Refer to BRAKE FLUID .

Flare the brake lines using Brake Line Tool Kit VAS6056 without damaging coating. In this way, brake lines can be inexpensively partially replaced in certain cases.

Working with the brake line kit V.A.G. 1356 is not permitted because of the coating and diameter of black brake lines.

NOTE:

Brake lines must not be bent more than 90°, otherwise they kink or deform causes unacceptable constriction in the line.

Disconnect brake lines preferably at underbody.

Position of intermediate pieces should be selected so that they cannot rub against moving parts.

Do not lubricate spindle, clean only with mineral spirits.
