I recently noticed some squeaking and grinding noises when I brake in my Audi A3. I suspect it's time to replace the brake pads, but I have never done it before. Can anyone provide a step-by-step guide on how to replace the brake pads on an Audi A3?
ReplyFirst, make sure you have all the necessary tools and replacement parts before starting. Then, loosen the lug nuts on the front wheels and jack up the car. Remove the wheels and locate the brake caliper. Using a brake caliper compressor tool, compress the piston to make room for the new brake pads.
Once you have compressed the caliper and removed the old brake pads, check the condition of the brake rotors. If they are worn or damaged, it's best to replace them as well. Then, install the new brake pads and lubricate the caliper slides with a silicone-based lubricant.
