Default So my neighbor drops off his A6 at my house today for me to look at....

the other night I sat in his car to confirm that his brake pedal was going all the way to the floor and then I proceeded to notice fluid at his right rear tire. Today, I removed the tire to see if the line was cracked, etc, and below is what I found.

Any idea what's wrong? ;-)

I've already done his TB and will soon do some control arms. Oh, I also added air to his ~8psi in his left rear tire. It's certainly nice to have a neighbor that has all of these reasons to finance my beer fund, however if he kills himself like it seems he's trying, my beer fund won't be so happy....

How long would you have to go to grind away the pad and backing.

Default I had the same thing happen to me....

Wife: Uhhh... my brakes are really loud.

Me: OK, how long has it been doing this?

Wife: About a month now.

Me: Let me take a look... What the $@#^!!

Me: There are NO pads. You've been driving around like this for a month!

Wife: Actually, it started making noise around New Years.

Me: Big sigh.
