[s-cars] S6 v. A6 front brake calipers

[Thomas Rodriguez]

Folks:  On Sunday I sat down with my new Bentley service manual to
read about servicing the brakes on my '95 S6.  After reading the
sections, I removed the front wheels to get a good look at things and
make some notes.  To my suprise the front calipers and pads on my car
are completely different than those described in the service manual
for the S6 (rears are a match).  After much head scratching I turned
to the section of the service manual that describes the brakes on the
'95 A6, and there they are.  As a cross-check I looked up brake pads
for my car on AutohausAZ and they seem to show pads that will fit my
calipers (2 pads per wheel), but not for the calipers shown in the
service manual (4 pads per wheel). What gives?  Is the service manual
wrong, or did Audi fit the American S6 with the same calipers as the
A6?  Attached are a couple of photos of my right front brake caliper
and a pdf of the drawings in the service manual for the S6 and the A6.
 Sorry if this question has already been covered by this group, as I
neglected to look at the FAQs before typing this message.  Thanks,

Tom
