Default You will need a special tool for the rears that rotates the piston

as it is depressed, Harbor Freight sells one for $20 see below. This is a VW/Audi thing on the rear calipers, the fronts you just push back with a screwdriver but the rears you need the tool.<ul><li><a href="http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=40732">Tool</a></li></ul>

Default So I haven't driven the car since Saturday night and...

this morning I jump in to drive it to the train station and no rear brake noise at all.

So I push the "check" button and when it goes to the brake check nothing comes up.

I never got a brake sensor message in the car so I am wondering if they just got really pissed off from all the hard work at the track.

I don't think the RS4 has brake wear sensors or if they do, they don't work correctly.
