Carbon Ceramic part numbers
Hi all,
I need to replace my rear pads on the S8 that has carbon ceramic brakes. I have Carista to wind back the calipers so that issue is sorted, however I am struggling to actually find a part number or pad that is safe to use with the carbon discs. I have messaged TPS but I haven't got a reply in a few days. Thank you in advance! |

OEM part number for the rear pads are 4E0698451A or superseded version 4E0698451C.
Pop along to the Introductions section and introduce yourself and your car.

Go with OEM. I only found one other manufacturer (possibly Febi?) which was supposedly for ceramic brakes but at £40 a set it seemed too cheap and I was nervous about using them. In the end, genuine pads were fitted and considering the originals lasted about 10 years I can't moan at the cost.

Hi All,
Just to confirm, after hearing that Audi wanted nearly £600 just for set of rear pads, I shopped around a little, after speaking to a few motorsport companies and pagid themselves. It turns out pagid make a pad that is safe/applicable for ceramics, the code is 8039 RSC1. I managed to get them for just under £260 in the end, I will get the retaining clips and screws from audi as they were only around £30 total.

A very useful piece of information for those that have carbon ceramic brakes and don't want to pay OEM prices.
