The noise is created by the brake pad material. A new brake pad (part number 4G0698151K) with improved compound has been developed. The supplier cannot currently produce this part in high volume due to factory capacity, which is causing a delay in part availability. It is possible that installing the original brake pad (part number 4G0698151D) will reduce the noise, but doing so is not always effective.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10118347-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10118347-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10118347","components":[{"id":"brakes","name":"Brakes","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"AUDI","model":"A6","year_from":2014,"year_to":2015,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2014_audi_a6","2015_audi_a6"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A7","year_from":2014,"year_to":2015,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2014_audi_a7","2015_audi_a7"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
