Re: Brake Caliper lube / Lubro Moly LM508???
Audi's grease part number for lubricating caliper pins is G000650. They also call it a lubricating paste. I got a tube of it years ago and have used it dozens of times to relube pins and the caliper openings for the pins after cleaning them up, and I bet I still have half the tube left.
The parts catalogs for brake calipers also list a lithium grease, part # G 052150A2. I THINK this is the stuff they put into the parking brake section of the rear calipers. It's white and looks like a really thick and heavy vaseline. It may also be used as an anti-squeal lube for the backs of pads.
I think LM508 is an anti-seize paste for bolts and an anti-squeal paste for the backs of pads.
