What is causing my A6 allroad to shake when I brake?

Faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, loose or worn suspension parts, and warped rotors can cause your A6 allroad to shake during braking. If you’re experiencing odd brake behavior, schedule a free brake inspection at a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care.

How many brake pads are on my A6 allroad?

On most cars, each axle is equipped with four brake pads — two per front wheel and two per back wheel. The front wheels usually work harder to help stop your A6 allroad, so don’t be surprised if your front brake pads wear out faster than your rear brake pads.

How often do I need to replace my A6 allroad brake pads?

You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your A6 allroad can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.

Can brake fluid leak when my A6 allroad is off?

Your A6 allroad brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.

Your Audi A6 allroad may be powered by a strong engine. One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal.
