How long is it going to take to......

switch rotors..
pads..
and flush the system in the A6

will need to do this Friday when I get down there either before or after Tech

BTW, I'll have a full set of tools, caliper piston press and power bleeder, and I'm pretty good with a set of tools, just never did this on a Audi.

Sorta...

I garaged the car in October and fired it back up 3 weeks ago and brought it to Raush Performance. It has been there for the past 3 weeks collecting "shop dust". So, putty knife here I come!

Switching all 4 rotors or just the fronts?

Bleeding goes faster if you have 4 jack stands.

But Mike is right - an hour or so if you stick to the task at hand

It's still something best done at home in the comfort of a heated garage.
