Brake pads WAGNER or OEM Audi
I just checked my maintenance notes and for my car I bought brake pads for $18.98 for the front set. They were Wagner OEX closeout and they are still going fine at 30,000 miles.
Wagner severe duty pads also have treated me well.
No. Looks perfectly normal.
I've had no problem with Wagner, Bosch, Hella/Pagid, and Brembo; Raybestos, Bendix, Beck/Arnley, Centric, etc are all solid options for a daily driver too.
I have a 2021 District Green Q5e / tan interior and it has been a fantastic car for my use case. 55% City driving means little to no gas use with home charging. Lots of road trips too, it’s a fast highway cruiser. 50k miles so far.
Brakes will last forever since I use so much regen.
Oem is expensive and are dealer items, and quality aftermarket brakes are readily available. Look for raybestos or Wagner brands for domestic vehicles, ebc for European vehicles. And there is no need for oem wear parts
Upgraded brake pads can be louder and dirtier.
Unless you thrash your car and don\u2019t care about it, a full brake+tire/alignment service at 30k is wild.
they're Audi pads, with Extra squeek!
