I want to install myself but don't know what to order. I searched few sources and they show different pads. Are OEM pads coming with the the those clips that snap into the cylinder heads or not?

Anybody with a 2017 Q5 can give me some pointers? What exactly do I need and where top get them?
Thank you .

 

Did you try autopartsway.ca?
I recently bought Textar brand from them, and it came with everything needed. Very easy install on my A6. Be careful to look at the part specific options. For Audi, the pads are different depending on your trim and engine.

Forgot to mention, you also need a Audi brake pad wear sensor

 

I know, that was the easy part.
I ended up buying the complete set from GermanParts.ca. I sent them an email with my VIN and they gave me the whole list with links. Ordered and had the parts in 2 days. Everything fitted well. Good quality.

thank you!

 

Glad it worked out for you. I personally prefer the Textar brand, but TRW is also great.

 

They're not bad and they fit well, that's the most important thing. Do you know a good motorcycle shop in Montreal?
