3/17/2013 JimmYou did not state whether the ABS sensor was for the front or rear wheels. Anyway, check the many on-line parts sources; such as www.RockAuto.com, www.autopartswarehouse.com, or www.autopartsfair.com.
For example, they (RockAuto) list these ABS sensor(s) for your vehicle from around $ 18.00 each.
As long as they are equivalent to the original (OEM) design and application - then they will work OK. Be sure to compare the build date and chassis number on your car to the specific sensor - as there nay have been a design change mid-year to the ABS sensor (not uncommon; this often occurs with many vehicles)
Front wheel ABS sensor:
Delphi # SS200004
Beck/Arnley Part # 0844041
Standard Motor Products #ALS426
Airtex / Wells # 5S10456
Rear wheel ABS sensor:
Standard Motor Products #ALS416
Airtex / Wells # 5S10455

12/23/2012 JimmTo replace a stoplight switch, first determine what type of switch you have.
If you have an electrical switch mounted to the brake pedal in the passenger compartment:
Unscrew the switch.
Unplug the wires.
Replace with a new switch. Adjust as needed.
Plug the wires back in.
If you have a hydraulic pressure switch that is mounted in the brake master cylinder:
Mark and disconnect the wires.
Unscrew the switch.
Screw the replacement switch in.
Reconnect the wires.
Try the many on-line auto parts sources, such as; www.autopartswarehouse.com or www.rockauto.com for the replacement parts. For example, they (RockAuto) list the brake switch for around $4.00 for your vehicle.

7/28/2012 JimmSince the vehicle is a 2011 model and still under warranty - take to the local delaership to have the brakes inspected and the disc pads lubricated with an anti-squeal gel applied to the disc pad metal backing plate.

I'm going to replace my front brake pads and was thinking of trying the ceramic pads.amkmeco - 2002 Audi A4 Quattro - Brakes - 4/1/2012Would like to know f the ceramic pads worth the try or not? Some say z they last long, not affected by repeated braking, no dust or minimal and no noise. My driving s 50/50 highway/town and I'm doing any racing.-
4/1/2012 JimmThe only drawback to the ceramic pads is somewhat higher brake pedal pressure. They do work best under extreme conditions, such as racing environments. Normal driving however, you won't notice any difference.
