Bosch BP1549 front brake pad for the 2017-2018 Audi A6 and other vehicles is a semi-metallic pad with a protective transfer layer that extends pad and rotor life.
- Bosch QuietCast brake pads use a patented copper free friction formula with an advanced aerospace alloy, compliant with 2025 Copper Free legislation.
- OE style rubber core shims come pre-attached in multiple layers; the rubber-to-steel bond gives lower noise, increased strength and corrosion resistance.
- PTFE and rubber coated hardware reduces vibration and noise and prevents binding to the caliper.
- The powder-coated backing plate helps prevent rust and corrosion.
- Synthetic lubricant is included to help reduce resistance on sliding contact points.
Squealing or grinding when you brake, a longer stopping distance, or friction material worn thin can mean the pads are due. Before you replace them, rule out a sticking caliper or slider and a grooved rotor, since either can wear or noise up a fresh set too.
This disc brake pad set is listed for a wide range of Audi models, including the 2012-2018 Audi A6 Quattro and the 2012-2018 Audi A7 Quattro, and each takes one. If your Audi isn't named here, open the "Vehicles it fits" section and look up your exact model and engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the right Audi A6 brake pad for the 2017-2018 model years?
Yes, Bosch BP1549 is a front brake pad listed for the 2017-2018 Audi A6 and the 2012-2018 Audi A6 Quattro. Use the "Vehicles it fits" section to look up other models.
What hardware comes with the Bosch BP1549 brake pads?
Bosch BP1549 includes mounting hardware, abutment clips, pad shims and brake lubricant. A pad wear sensor is not included.
Is the BP1549 one of the Bosch QuietCast ceramic brake pads or Bosch ceramic brake pads?
No. Bosch BP1549 is semi-metallic, with a patented copper free formula compliant with 2025 Copper Free legislation. The friction material is bonded to the backing plate.
How can I tell when these front brake pads are worn?
Squealing or grinding under braking, or friction material that looks visibly thin, can mean the pads are worn. New pads have 19.3 mm of friction material on both the inner and outer pad.
What does the coated hardware do on Bosch BP1549 brake pads?
The PTFE and rubber coated hardware reduces vibration and noise and keeps the pad from binding in the caliper. The pre-attached multilayer rubber core shim also helps lower noise.
