Hey guys... I recently purchased my first Audi. Since I have driven it off the lot, I have been expierencing large amounts of brake dust onmy rims. Did you exp. this when you first purchased your car or is this a sign that I should take the car in to have the brakes inspected?

 

i get loads of brake dust. you can buy pads that create less but it doesn't bother me. i clean my car a lot anyways

 

I have to agree with you there... I find that I am detailing my car on a daily basis...

 

yup, wash her every saturday.........

 

i think i read somewhere that brake dust is a comon things with the audis i upgraded to ebc's red stuff pads and stop alot better and not as much dust as what ever was on there before

 

Our cars come with organic pads, which produce black
sticky dust.

 

Does EBC Red Stuff pads has sensor?

 

I agree with that, every Saturday i wash her Clean as a whistle i dont care about the dust.

 

I have seen the green stuff (lower heat range for street) with sensors, its on there site. Reds (more of a high performance, some racing street pad) i cant remeber, they should. If not just loop the wires and do away with the sensors.

 

You just have cheap pads on there. If you upgrade to ceramic pads it should pretty much go away. EBC is pretty popular. I used Akebono Euros front and rear (come with sensor on front pads). Expensive, but I get almost no dusting it seems. They stay pretty clean looking (and I don't even wash my car once a month let alone every weekend). Good pads for the lazy washer.
