Product Details

The DFC 4000 HybriDynamic Brake Pads line focuses on practical daily-driver performance. For Audi A4 and Audi A5 Sportback front brake service, the hybrid compound helps provide predictable braking behavior while keeping dust and noise under control. Part number 4000-1953-00 is a front disc brake pad set with a hybrid friction material composition, and it is prepared for an electronic wear sensor, though the sensor itself is not included.

Fits 2021-2025 Audi A4 Quattro, front with 314mm front disc. Fits 2021-2025 Audi A5 Sportback, front with 314mm front disc. Fits 2017-2020 Audi A4, front for USA/CANADA applications. Fits 2016 Audi A4, front, 190hp.

Common Brake Issues Addressed

  • Squealing or noisy front brake pads
  • Excessive brake dust on wheels
  • Uneven or inconsistent pedal feel
  • Reduced braking response from worn pads
  • Front pad replacement on Audi A4 and Audi A5 Sportback models

Installation Notes

Verify rotor size, caliper configuration, and vehicle application before installation. This set is prepared for an electronic pad wear sensor, but no sensor is included. Mounting hardware is not included. Confirm pad dimensions and front axle fitment against the vehicle before service. Part number 4000-1953-00 should be matched to the listed Audi A4 and Audi A5 Sportback front applications only.
