I just did my front brake pads for my 2001 Audi S4. I haven’t looked at the rear pads yet — is there anything I need to know, or is it similar to the front ones?

Audi A8 — All Car History Volume3
Filed Under audi | Comments Off
The Audi A8 is a full-size luxury saloon car that combines Quattro four-wheel drive, the light but sturdy Audi Space Frame ASF aluminium body and adaptive air suspension. On top of this, there are numerous high-torque, powerful engines to choose from. Built by Audi to replace the V8 model as its flagship offering, two generations of the A8 have been produced in both short and long wheelbase form. The long wheelbase Audi A8 “L” combines performance with power, making it the most luxurious sports saloon in its class.
Other executive cars from Audi range includes the Audi A4 and the Audi A6
The A8 has been produced in two generations: from 1994-2003 and 2003-date. The first A8 used Audi’s D2 platform, an all-aluminium space frame to reduce weight without losing rigidity. The saloon included the A8L long-wheelbase version, adding five inches rear legroom. In 1997, six interior airbags were added, making it the first vehicle to be so equipped. The second generation was built on the D3 platform, with the main notable change being the unique single frame grille, now the signature style for the entire line of Audi automobiles.
TYPESThe current generation of A8s is available in a range of powerful diesel and petrol engine options including 2.8 V6, 3.2 V6, 4.2 V8, 3.0 TDI V6 and 4.2 litre TDI V8 with standard or long-wheelbase versions. The diesel versions all include semi-automatic Tiptronic gearboxes whilst Multitronic semi-automatic options are available for petrol engines. The 4.2 litre diesel V8 is the most powerful diesel engine Audi has ever produced in a car. It uses two turbochargers and two intercoolers, with each turbo functioning exclusively for one bank of four cylinders.
Audi A8 Facts
The top of the range Audi A8 SE 4.2 FSI Quattro has a (limited) top speed of 155 mph and accelerates from 0-62 mph in 6.1 seconds, whilst the A8 SE 4.2 TDI Quattro - a diesel - has the same top speed but gets from 0-62 mph in just 5.9 seconds!
Adaptive air suspension is available as an option in the A8. It is the first Audi sports suspension system to be based on the principle of air suspension which allows the driver to change the suspension as individually preferred. Both the damping characteristics and ride height can be adjusted in a single process via the MMI “CAR” menu system.

Audi A4 — All Car History Volume2
Filed Under audi | Comments Off
The Audi A4 is a luxury compact executive car produced since 1994. The successor to the 80 series, the A4 is a mid-range option that holds its own in the face of tough competition, mainly from the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes C-Class. Available as a four-door saloon, five-door estate and two-door convertible form, the Audi A4 was the first ever car from the Volkswagen Group to include the new 1.8 L 20V engine with five valves per cylinder.
TYPESThe A4 has been produced in three distinct generations since its inception. The first (1994 to 2001) was based on the Volkswagen B5 platform. It was introduced as a four-door saloon though the “Avant” estate version arrived the following year. The second generation (2001-2005) was based on the new Volkswagen B6 platform. Re-styled, the revised A4 had engine upgrades and the company introduced a continuously variable transmission (CVT) option. The third generation (2004 to 2008) saw many additions to the engine options. The company released the first official pictures of the brand new “B8″ series A4 in August 2007.
The Audi A4 range now includes 1.8, 2.0 TDI, 2.7 TDI, 3.0 TDI Quattro, 3.2 FSI Quattro and 3.2 V6 versions; a range of ten petrol and diesel engine options area available in total. It is available as a saloon or Avant estate version. Topping the petrol engine range is the 261bhp 3.2 V6 though “S4″ and “S4″ versions are planned. Topping the diesel range is a 237bhp 3.0 V6 that initially will be manual only.

Audi A4 Facts
The Audi A4 reportedly accounts for half of all the vehicles the company makes at its Ingolstadt plant.
The A4 S line 3.2 FSI has a top speed of 155 mph and accelerates from 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds. Meanwhile, the slightly more sluggish A4 S line 2.0 TDI, can reach a top speed of a mere 134 mph, and only gets from 0-62 mph in 9.4 seconds, but then it can deliver 65.7 mpg on the extra urban cycle.
The German newspaper “Bild am Sonntag” presented the “Golden Steering Wheel” award for the 2008 Audi A4.
