How can I fix the brake pads in my Audi A2?

I noticed my brake pads are making a squeaking noise and are not functioning as well as they used to. I want to fix them myself, where should I start and what are common mistakes I should avoid?

To fix your brake pads, first make sure to secure your car on a level and safe surface. Then, remove the wheels and use a brake pad spreader tool to compress the caliper. Next, remove the old brake pads and replace them with new ones. Make sure to properly tighten any bolts and screws and test the brake function before driving.

Common mistakes to avoid when fixing brake pads include forgetting to properly secure the car before starting, not using a brake pad spreader tool, and not testing the brake function before driving. Also make sure to properly dispose of old brake pads and wear gloves when handling brake components.

Remember to use high quality brake pads to ensure optimal performance and safety. It's also a good idea to check the brake fluid level and replace it if necessary while changing the brake pads. And if you're not confident in your skills, it's always better to seek professional help.
