Audi VW Disc Brake Pad Retaining Clip - Genuine VW Audi 1K0615269

Product Information

A Disc Brake Anti-Rattle Clip is a small metal clip used in disc brake assemblies to hold the brake pads securely in place and reduce movement, vibration, and noise during braking. It keeps the brake pads stable within the brake caliper, minimizing any "rattling" sound or movement as the brakes engage and disengage. This helps ensure a quiet, stable, and effective braking experience.

• Rattling or Clunking Noise: One of the main indicators of a failed anti-rattle clip is a rattling, clunking, or knocking sound when driving, especially over bumps or rough surfaces, as the brake pads may shift within the caliper
• Increased Brake Noise: If the clip is damaged or missing, you might hear squeaking or scraping sounds when braking due to pad movement
• Uneven Brake Pad Wear: Without a secure hold from the anti-rattle clip, the brake pads may shift, leading to uneven or accelerated wear on the pads

About Genuine VW Audi

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG 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 VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG 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.
