How to fix brake squeaking on an Audi 80?

I have noticed that my Audi 80's brakes have started to squeak every time I apply them. It's quite annoying and I'm afraid it might be a sign of a bigger issue. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Samantha, brake squeaking is a common issue in cars and it could be caused by various factors. One of the main reasons is worn brake pads, which need to be replaced. Other potential causes could be damaged rotors, dirt or debris on the brake pads, or issues with the brake calipers. It's always better to get it checked by a mechanic to determine the exact cause and fix it accordingly.

Hey Samantha, I had a similar issue with my Audi 80. It turned out that the brake pads were not properly installed and were causing the squeaking noise. I would advise you to check if the brake pads are aligned correctly and if not, get them fixed. Additionally, you can try cleaning the brake pads with brake cleaner to see if it helps.

Hi Samantha, another possible reason for brake squeaking is the use of low-quality brake pads. These pads tend to wear out faster and can cause the squeaking noise. If you recently replaced your brake pads, make sure you used high-quality ones. In case you didn't, it's recommended to switch to better quality pads to avoid further issues.
