B8.5 rear pad wear sensor question

I replaced the rear discs and pads recently.
I'm not happy how the wear sensor wiring is sitting, I don't remember it laying out in a wide loop. It's held under the cap as previously but seems loose.
Can anyone please take or share a photo showing the correct routing?
Thanks :thumbs:

Re: My 2015 Sepang Blue RS4

New rear discs and pads fitted today. Getting on 2 hours on the first side, mostly working out tools and methods. Second side done in around 30 mins. Carista app worked well on the electronic handbrake service routine. Popped reservoir cap, kept an eye on it then eased the pistons back to accept new...

Good.
Could you detail what kind of upgrades you did?
How big was the bill?
Not on here. PM me if you like :thumbs:

Re: My 2015 Sepang Blue RS4

Back home with a fully rebuilt engine. Not much made it back under the bonnet, but what did go back was finely put together with numerous uprated components or reconditioned/replaced with new for preventative sake. Running like new and nice to have it home again! It's all run in and has fresh oil, b...

Re: Dropping the engine... making the best of it

Seems good time to do chains and tensioners. Perhaps consider water pump and starter motor as precautionary?

Re: My 2015 Sepang Blue RS4

Absolute catastrophe Easter Monday cruising along M2 all hell breaks loose, shuddering and alarms on dash, limped it off the road and it cut out. Recovered home 8 hours later. Many long weeks of diagnosis to find it had dropped a valve! It's since been with a specialist being stripped and repaired a...

Re: My 2015 Sepang Blue RS4

Replaced missing RS4 decal from tailgate. Some little scratches in the area, probably indicative of some scallywag prising off the original ones! Some guidance online the corner of the red RS "square" starts 90mm up from the tailgate edge by 100mm in from the left. Also brewed up some rouge powder p...

Re: My 2015 Sepang Blue RS4

I'll try and get some more pics when it's had a good clean.

Meanwhile front ARB links replaced yesterday to sort out a bit of front end noise over bumps. Seems to have done the trick, will need to do some miles to make sure.

Re: My 2015 Sepang Blue RS4

Cleaned and a bit more polishing to nsr quarter. Paid my Audi tax and changed the inoperable fuel flap lock (wasn't locking/ unlocking). It was showing as a ground fault when scanned, fingers crossed it wasn't a wiring failt... The removal and replacement wasn't as bad as I thought. The plastic cove...

Re: Power fold mirror juddering noisy

With mirrors folded up, this thin bit between the arrows. It's flexible rubbery plastic surface. A suitable lubricant on that seems to have worked for me, temporarily anyway.

Re: Power fold mirror juddering noisy

Will do. The GT85 spray didn't last and it started coming back again, nothing like before. Did a bit of research, silicone is kinder to rubber materials. Tried some silicon spray, did the trick again and problem gone for now. Don't remember this before now, only with it getting cold recently. Will m...

Power fold mirror juddering noisy

Driver's side mirror was a little noisy today when opening and closing. Could hear it from inside and also feel it struggling with my hand on it. Searching on here and a bit of general internet bashing couldn't find a relatable issue or fix. Noticed the mirrors have a thin rubber piece between mirro...

I've used the original springs as I wanted to retain the original ride height.

Bit more cleaning. Decontamination, light polish and wax on this corner.
