How often should the brake pads of an Audi A2 be replaced?

I recently bought an Audi A2 and I'm curious about the maintenance schedule for brake pads. Is there a general guideline or does it vary depending on individual driving habits?

On average, brake pads should be replaced every 20,000-30,000 miles depending on driving habits and road conditions. However, it's important to regularly check the thickness of your brake pads and replace them if they are less than 3mm to ensure safe braking.

The Audi A2 has a wear indicator that alerts you when it's time to replace the brake pads. It's recommended to get them replaced as soon as the indicator shows wear to avoid potential damage to your vehicle's braking system.

Many factors, such as city vs. highway driving, the weight of the vehicle, and the quality of the brake pads, can impact when they need to be replaced. It's best to consult your owner's manual for specific guidelines or talk to a mechanic for personalized recommendations.
