How to fix squeaky brakes on my Audi A3?

I have noticed that my Audi A3's brakes have started to make a squeaking noise whenever I brake. It's quite annoying and I'm worried about potential safety issues. Is there a way to fix this issue without having to take it to the mechanic?

Hey John, squeaky brakes can be a common issue on the Audi A3. It's usually caused by dirty brake pads or rotors. Try cleaning them with a brake cleaner or sanding them lightly. If that doesn't work, it's best to take it to a mechanic for further inspection.

Hi John, have you checked your brake fluid level? Low fluid can also cause squeaky brakes. You can easily top it up yourself with some brake fluid from the store. If that doesn't solve the issue, it might be a sign of worn brake pads and they should be replaced.

Don't ignore squeaky brakes, John. They could be a sign of a more serious issue and can potentially compromise your safety on the road. It's best to take it to a professional to get it fixed.
