Why is my Q5 PHEV shaking as I brake?

Your Q5 PHEV could shake when you brake due to worn brake pads or rotors, warped rotors, loose or worn suspension components, or faulty brake calipers. You can always schedule a free brake inspection at the first sign of strange brake behavior.

What is the total number of brake pads on my Q5 PHEV?

The brake system on most vehicles consists of four brake pads per axle, with two brake pads installed on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front wheels of your Q5 PHEV put in more work when stopping your vehicle, so the front brake pads are likely to wear out quicker than the rear brake pads.

What is the average lifespan of Q5 PHEV 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 Q5 PHEV 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 Q5 PHEV is off?

Your Q5 PHEV 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.
