Bosch Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:BE965H
Help keep front stops smooth and quiet with the BOSCH brake pad set, part number BE1663. It is a direct-fit front replacement for the 2013-2017 Audi Q5. It pairs Bosch's NAO-ceramic friction formulations with pre-attached multi-layer shims designed to dampen noise. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
Bosch's OE braking heritage dates back to 1927, and this disc brake pad set carries that focus on strength and durability. When you press the brake pedal, the caliper clamps each pad against the rotor, and the resulting friction slows the vehicle. Signs the brake pads on a 2013-2017 Audi Q5 may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, and friction material that looks visibly thin.
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicle does the Bosch BE1663 fit?
It is cataloged as a front brake pad set for the 2013-2017 Audi Q5. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment details.
What friction material does the BE1663 use?
Bosch lists advanced, platform-specific NAO-ceramic friction formulas that its engineers rigorously formulate and test.
How do the shims help with brake noise?
Pre-attached, OE-style multi-layer shims bond rubber and steel layers. Bosch says this provides lower noise, added strength, and corrosion resistance.
Is brake lubricant included?
Yes. Bosch includes synthetic lubricant in all applications to help reduce resistance on the sliding contact points.
What should I check during a brake pad replacement?
With the pads off, inspect the rotors, caliper slides, and hardware. Follow the vehicle service information for the installation and bed-in procedures.
