Failboat.
This is why Audi gets a bed reputation for maintenance. People like you trying to work on them improperly and then saying these cars are a pain in the ass, when they are not at all.

my fault. i havent worked on much audi but many vw. it was my 1st rear brake job on a 03 a4. atleast now i know. cut the 8mm socket down to size. i wasnt thinking lol
