I would be careful pushing the pistons back into the caliper casting without cracking off the bleed nipples, it's relatively unlikely, but pushing fluid back through the system could cause some damage to the ABS pump especially if it is contaminated. It's good practice to give the brakes a bleed anyway when you're changing the pads. I made up a really nice little bleeding device the day, it's much easier if you can get someone to operate the pedal for you than try to do it on your own! Also, as above, I don't bother with the dampers.
NB, the photo is not of the brakes on my RS2! Its my wife's A6.Last edited by treebirch; 19 September 2018, 20:26.

I also don't use them but find that anything better than viewing stock ish pads make noise. The rs14 pagid pads I ran to the ring and back on and they were extremely noisy. Work well though... Was thinking that the dampers might shut them up enough to daily them.

The noise was very loud. It was squeeling like a pig. I don't mind some noise but this was way too loud. Mostly the pads fault, as they aren't a road pad, but I like how they work so am looking to find something to quiet them down from mental to just noisey.

Ok, I bought the Porsche dampning plates from the local Porsche dealer. Price was about 8-9 euro per dampning plate.
For once, the Porsche solution is cheaper than Audi!
The Porsche plates fit totally easy into the calipers. During test ride, no more squealing brakes. Excellent!
Porsche numbers are:
44mm plate:
96535109600
36mm plate:
96435109601
