SOURCE: brake bleeding audi 80 1992

Generally you can bleed any system by following this method: Start at r/r wheel, then l/r, r/f l/f. Break each bleeder loose, attach a twelve inch piece of clear plastic tubing to it (I use fish tank air supply hose) If hose diameter is too small, generally putting it in a pot of hot water will allow you to strech it over bleeder end.Put the other end in a small jar with about an inch or two of clean fluid in it Keep the hose end submerged at all times while doing this procedure.. When you open the bleeder, fluid should begin to run through tube. (if not, sometimes GENTLY putting some pressure on pedal will start it flowing. Keep the jar below the item you are bleeding...gravity will do the rest. When no further air comes through the line, close bleeder and repeat on each wheel.
While doing this, keep master cylinder full with cap open. When finished, make sure fluid level is full and close it up.
If you have further problems, you may need to inspect all hydraulic components. Generally, since your brake system is essentially "sealed" just changing pads does not require bleeding to make system functional. Changing fluid and bleeding is a good maintenence procedure because brake fluid is hygroscopic (it tends to draw moisture from the air) which causes internal rusting of calipers, wheel cylinders etc.
Good luck

SOURCE: I have tried changing the rear brake pads on my

If you have the pistons pushed back as far as you can, try this: Make sure that the mounting bolts that attach the caliper to the rotor assembly are not in the way and that you have the right brake pads for the right side. The bolts are attached to the caliper and are long in a protective boot. Sometime they slide over just enough to not allow you to install correctly. Make sure to push them out of the way and look to make sure they are not hanging up on them. Hope this helps, let me know if it  does and I will see if I can help some more....

Brake shudder

If you did nor replace the attaching hardware when replacing the rear shoes and drums then there is a good chance that the rear brakes are not performing the self-adjustment necessary for them to work properly. This results in the rear brakes not braking effectively and placing extra stress of the front brakes. The increased stress on the front brakes causes excessive heat on the rotors and they will warp and this causes the shuddering you feel. Inspect the rear brakes to ensure that they are working as designed.

Ask your mechanic to back off on the adjustment ( way too tight ). Or maybe, did you accidently leave the parking brake on? ( happens to the best of us!!! ). Good luck and God bless.
