Thank you to Paul at ShopDap.com, he let me know these brake rotors have been updated a few times from Audi. Possibly because of this very issue. Check out factory brake discs here: www.shopdap.com/4h0-615-301-an-vw-audi.html
Hey Jamie! Have you ever heard of this? On my 06 bmw 325i, the stock pro radio, when I’m listening to music in aux or radio, it randomly changes to CD player. I can’t figure it out. I can change it back or leave it for a moment and it will switch back. And along with that, when I unlock my car, the cd player is doing something, I can hear the noise likes it’s switching disc or something, and the car isn’t even turned over or in accessory mode. Wtf? Lol only solution I can think is just replace the head unit oem or aftermarket. Any suggestions ?
Hi Jamie, excellent video as it has solved my issue with my SQ5. I have exactly the same issue as yours and it also drove my insane trying to find it. Just concerned that if using the same product again by Zimmermann whom make them for Audi I believe will you be replacing them again if the same problem arises? Mine have only been on the car for under a year and they failed! Not to sure if I will go back to the similar product here in Australia, do you know if the issue has been resolved with this rotor ?
@@djcjohns1133 The brake rotors that made noise where factory Audi brake rotors. The fix in this video was Zimmerman rotors. As of today, that noise hasn’t come back. Hope this helps 🤘
What a serious kick in the pants. By far one of the most frustrating things to deal with as a flat rate tech. Love your videos and how you shoot them to show the process/explain stuff. Im an A level Chrysler tech with over 10 years experience. We recently started having to send videos to customers and from the start I’ve spent the time to really show and explain what’s wrong with their vehicle. Customers leave good reviews mentioning my name, I’ve had customers come personally thank me, management has nothing but the best things to say about me, even the owner has recognized me. So thank you for inspiring my video production at work. It’s made selling work for customer safety and upsells so much easier.
Of course, when mechanics are in a hurry to fix our loved ones cars, we get out the parts cannon! "It probably needs one anyway". Nice find, much safer car now.
Creaking noise is a sunroof frame, there is a bulletin to help the noise a bit but if that doesn’t work, needs an entire frame, good luck! Great video as usual
This reminds me of a nightmare sound issue I had on a customer car when I worked at Subaru. High-pitched whine sound between 40-60mph, thought it was sus, wheels, bearing, etc. Turned out one of the brake lines had gotten bent up just enough to barley rub on the frame and cause that sound, took 3 days just to figure it out.
My god. Thank you man. I changed all these parts on my A8 and nothing was fixing it. I tested the rotor just like you and voila, it was loose just like yours. You saved me a lot of money, the mechanics were telling me to replace the front airbags smh. Thank you again
You are a life saver!! I have been chasing this rattle for at least 6 months!! Had done everything under the sun!! I have been saved, lol. I have a 2015 Audi A8
have to comment, you’re the man, love your videos, i can truly sympathize, after many years of being in a european shop, by necessity, one had to become a “master” of rattles, nice work
Never in my 20+ years of owning several 100 cars have I ever seen this issue before. I would have had the whole suspension redone, there no human on this planet that would have found that problem.
Just dealt with this issue the last couple of days and narrowed it to the passenger front rotor. I found your video after the fact but nice to see that we're not the only ones dealing with this! I actually made some wooden wedges to take the slack out of the disc/hat and verified the noise was gone before replacing the rotors on the customer's S8.
I think this is a video many people should watch. They don't realize the seek and find that you guys have to do when trying to find an issue a customer is complaining about. Customers think that because you are a technician you should just know what it is. They don't realize your frustration when you can't find the easy quick answer. It's not like a radiator hose that is leaking which is apparent. Great work.
Hi Jamie, love the video! I was in contact with you around 6 months ago with the same problem here in Australia. Well we put on new set of Zimmerman rotors on and guess what, we are experiencing the same issue again. Quite a grey area with the sellers of this brand of rotor saying they have never seen this issue ever? Well I have experienced it twice now hopefully we can get a warranty claim because to me it is not normal for a rotor the become loose on the hat. I think we will be going after another brand !
A few decades ago a brake rotor on my dad's Jeep XJ sheared so smoothly where the pressed hat was welded to the cast chinesium that no sounds could be heard when applying the brakes. I've never used those type rotors again as I've heard of more examples of rotors shearing the welds.
YES!!! I have! Thank you soooo much! Now I know that stupid rattle. going to show my mechanic this right away! Thanks. This was perfect. I thought it was coming from the strut towers too! I'm so glad I didn't drop the coin for the repair! Awesome!
That's awesome Jamie. Long time Audi owner long before they became mainstream. My first Audi was an Audi Fox, then a 1984 GT Conpe just to take a trip in time. I like your curious mind and approach to gremlin solving. Keep up the great reviews.
My wife had a rattle on her Q5 was driving me nuts, finally tracked it down to the sunroof. Fully opened and closed the sunroof and noise has been gone for a week now!
Hei ... thanks allot ! I do have the same noise and I already changed lower bushes. I was planning to change the entire suspension because that sound gets me crazy. Thanks allot, man !!!
Bro this helps me alot! I have exact same noise in rs3 and i replaced struts, endlinks,swaybar with bushings, top mounts and brake pads, today i tested my rotors and exact same moves😂
That creaking noise your wife mentioned at the end of the video is most likely the sunroof frame. Have replaced about a million of em'. OK maybe not a million but alot of em. 😁
Good video, trying to track down a rattle can be a pain, had a rattle in my motorcycle that I couldn't find tried everything, finally one night I looked at the chain guard, found a crack that you couldn't see where bolted onto the bracket LOL
So cool you found the problem I have an annoying creaking sound when I turn left on an intersection. BMW dealership can’t pinpoint my X5 35d 2014 problem, suspension struts been replaced and front brakes.
Ran in to the phantom noise situation recently. Heard a squeak every time the car jostled. Turns out some kind of filler foam in the b-pillar was rubbing.
I had a same type of noice and I tried the same way you did... (I'm happy 'cz I'm not a professional mechanic) Finally one person found the reason.. it was caliper pins...
Currently hearing a rattling sound in my Audi Q7 when driving thought it would be because of ball joints going bad but I’m going to check the rotors now.
Reminds me of the shaking front-end and steering wheel of my wife’s Murano. For 12 years since almost new her steering wheel would shake when driving between 55-70mph, which covers like 90% of our commute. We spent thousands of dollars on rotations, balancing, alignments, new wheels, new tires, new struts, and much more including all the payments in dead-end diagnostics fees and after 12 years we finally replaced the car because it needed a new catalytic converter that even after market was worth more than the car and the last straw.
Those brake rotors are designed so that with heavy braking generating alot of heat, the outer rotor material can expand and contract evenly on those pins reducing chance of distortion/waves.
hi jamie. thanks for this video. i have this noise on my 2012 toyota RAV4. its driving me insane and i cant tell where it was coming from i had changed the brake discs last month and ever since it has started makeing that noise. im going to have to go back to the shop but i doubt they will do anything.
The back of the pad sticks to the face of the piston and keeps the pad from rattling around in the caliper. You can buy high heat sticky 2 sided sticky pads for the back of the pads or you can get it in paste form
@@JamiesGarage1 this is very helpful because I work at an Audi dealer in Wisconsin and I have had a few issues because of pads not staying where they're supposed to. Any products you recommend?
Dude….calling in from Australia here. I have a 2015 q7 (4M). I bought the car a year and a half ago and have had this bloody annoying rattle in the front left “suspension” since the day I got it. I changed everything under the sun to try and find it. Changed shockers, upper control arms, bushes etc….just like you. Removed the sway bar…..and even clamped the brake line and drove around without the caliper on to try and find it. I’ve gone as far as mounting a GoPro under the car to see if I could see anything moving. No joy there either. Audi themselves had the car for nearly two weeks trying to find the rattle and ended up telling me it must be structural damage due to a previous accident. I’ve searched youtube and google HUNDREDS, of times trying to find an answer to the most annoying rattle in the history of mankind……..and your video never popper up. Then, for some reason this morning it popped up as a suggested video…..and I have to tell you mate, today you changed my world.! No more embarrassing rattle, no more annoying speedhump noises. No more curious wondering as I drive along. And yes….as much as im ecstatic to have found the problem, im super Embarrassed that I didn’t find it sooner. The fact that it went away when I put my foot on the brake should have been a dead giveaway…..but I just for some reason never suspected the rotor. After all, when the wheel is on its bolted in hard right??….wrong!!! As soon as I finish this comment, I’m Off to the shop for a new rotor. Thanks so much man. So thankful.
I have a question. For 6 months I have been dealing with these check engine light codes. P0420 p0430 catalyst system below threshold bank 1 and 2 P0455 large evap leak detected P0457 evap leak fuel cap loose Cylinder 3 misfire detected My car battery recently went bad about 10 days ago. I Replaced the battery and the check engine light went away and hasn't come back on in 10 days. It's hard to believe replacing my car battery fixed my check engine light codes?
Yep, had the same issue with my SQ7 i also have never experienced such a fault. Had us scratching our heads for a while! Unfortunately you have the SQ5 with the sunroof, that will be the next rattle to annoy the crap out of you. You'll notice it in winter vs summer as the rubber seal expands and contracts. Still love Audi but theyre heartbreakers 😂
I have had a unsolvable mystery noise much like this on my B6 Passat. I was so stoked to check and see if this was the problem but, alas, it was not. Anyone have any suggestions?
I have a similar issue on my FZR400 motorcycle, when on the brakes and going over a bump it clunks hard, its just the rivets for the floating rotors, its not like your issue though where it happens all the time
Jamie - Great video! I have a 2016 A8L (3.0T w/64k miles) I have an indiscriminate chirping noise coming from the left rear shock as I go over different kinds of road grades. It's not as crazy as your brake rotor rattle, but it sounds like I have a bird trapped in there. Any ideas?
Oh yeah dude. There is a TSB on this. The floating brake rotors. A lot of newer German cars are bringing them. Audi/Porsche it's a top complaint. Sadly, I've seen them rattle right out of the box. The parts department just has them stacked on shelves, which causes unnecessary strain, and can loosen the pins or rivets. Whatever you want to call them.
Yes definitely had a similar problem with rattling brakes on my Mercedes C220 CDI w203. Mechanic checked the brakes they are fine in good shape yet i have a rattling noise either from rotors or calipers. I can't be bothered to do anything about it.. As shortly I'm having new front rotors and new brake pads + calipers restored
I have a weird rattle, when at a stop, sounds like a little metalic rattle. On park or when riding it never makes a sound. Pull great etc. No codes anything. Jetta 2012 2.5. What could it be?
Jamie... like your channel.....good editing, lighting, host.... I would like to see you take on a bigger project that you could break up in multiple episode say a 1986 M6... one that needs a full restore or some other classic bmw just a suggestion I notice on Harry's Garage his biggest amount of views are on his restoration projects.... good luck
That’s what up. Keep up that awsome work. And your wife should always be your best and worst customer. But at the end of the day, she’s the best no matter what…
If that serves as a consolation comment, I would NEVER suspect that the rotor was the culprit. I'd go for sway bar bushings, brake pads/callipers and then struts.

It is a two piece just like the e60 rear. They’re riveted. Fascinating story behind that but it does reduce rotation weight obviously.
Love the surprise towards the end
Me too ;)

Nice diagnosis. Tricky hidden rattle. Wow.
I had rattling noise also replaced bunch of parts, until found the actual issue. One of the dozens bolts in multilink suspension just was loose
I actually solved many suspension noises due to loose bolts. It’s always the first thing I check now

Nice work 👍
Oh yeah dude. There is a TSB on this. The floating brake rotors. A lot of newer German cars are bringing them. Audi/Porsche it's a top complaint.
Sadly, I've seen them rattle right out of the box. The parts department just has them stacked on shelves, which causes unnecessary strain, and can loosen the pins or rivets. Whatever you want to call them.

Does it still rattle when you heat up the rotors cus they expands
Great video. Does your SQ5’s moon roof also rattle? Ours is horrific. 2014 TDI.
When you changed the rotor, did you also change the brake pads? (Inexperienced mechanic, just trynna retain information)

I've used Zimmerman and ATE for all my q5 changes
noises drives us crazy lolol.. (when you work at dealership you deal with noises everyday, I used to hate that) these vw and audi got lots of noise.
Really really common on audi, and yes s8/a8 do it too, I’ve been at audi for a decade and heard it many times!
Does this happen on the D5 A8s? I have this same noise.
If that serves as a consolation comment, I would NEVER suspect that the rotor was the culprit. I'd go for sway bar bushings, brake pads/callipers and then struts.
Would that be a warranty claim?
That seems to be the dumbest design of a rotor I’ve ever seen, but I’m no engineer
