Whenever I apply the brakes on my Audi A8, it makes a high-pitched screeching noise that can be heard from a distance. This has been happening for a few weeks now and it's really starting to concern me. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
ReplyThe loud screeching noise could be due to worn brake pads. Over time, the brake pads wear down and can start making a noise when they rub against the rotor. I would recommend getting your brake pads inspected and replaced if necessary.
Another possible cause of the screeching noise could be a stuck brake caliper. When a brake caliper gets stuck, it can cause the brake pads to constantly rub against the rotor, resulting in a loud noise. It's important to get this fixed as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your brake system.
Sometimes, the screeching noise can be caused by a build-up of brake dust on the rotor. This can easily be cleaned off with a brake cleaner spray. However, if the noise persists, it's best to have a mechanic inspect your brakes.
