Audi Disc Brake Anti-Rattle Clip - Genuine Audi 8W0698231

Product Information

Disc brake caliper repair kits typically consist of seals, dust boots, and miscellaneous hardware that is often overlooked but critical to proper brake caliper operation. If these caliper components are damaged, or if uneven brake pad wear is observed, a new caliper repair kit should be installed. Fresh seals and dust boots should also be installed on every caliper rebuild. Higher mileage calipers, calipers with unknown service history, or brake systems with poor brake fluid conditions can also benefit from the components in a brake caliper repair kit.

• Ripped dust boots
• The caliper piston not moving freely in the caliper bore or seized in the bore
• Uneven brake pad wear
• Excessive noise under light braking

About Genuine Audi

The original parts used by Audi to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Audi” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Audi, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the Audi Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Audi are not necessarily manufactured by Audi. No cause for concern, as Audi designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Audi for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Audi parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of an Audi logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
