1986 4000S, Brake questions
The car in question is a manual 1986 4000S with a 1.8L 4 cylinder
engine (7/85 production date). Front brakes are disc, rear are drums.
Front Brakes:
I am about to replace the front pads and rotors on my car and I have a few
questions in reference to the Bentley repair manual.
Page 46.1a indicates Rubber-coated silencer shims P/N 811 615 231
However no Audi dealer in my area can find these. Does anyone know of an
updated part number or what the deal is? I already have a set of pads,
new mounting bolts and some anti-squeak paste. Anything else I need to
replace when doing the job?
Rear Brakes:
These definitely need changing too. I also know that the wheel cylinders
are leaking a bit. My understanding is that I will need new brake
linings and brake wheel cylinders. Do I also need brake drums? Anything
else? Finally, the Bentley manual makes mention of "G6 grease", does
anyone know what it is and where I can get some?
Any advice is greatly appreciated,
Peter
