How can I fix the loud screeching noise coming from my Audi 80's brakes?

Recently, my Audi 80 has been making a loud screeching noise every time I brake. Is this something I can fix on my own or should I take it to a mechanic? What steps should I take to diagnose and resolve this issue?

Hi Samantha, this loud screeching noise from your brakes could be caused by worn out brake pads. It's important to address this issue as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your car's braking system. I would recommend taking it to a mechanic for a professional diagnosis and repair.

Hi Samantha, the screeching noise could also be due to a build-up of brake dust on your brake rotors. You can try cleaning them with a specialized brake cleaner and see if that helps. If the noise persists, it's best to take it to a mechanic for further inspection.

Hey Samantha, it's possible that one of your brake calipers is sticking, causing the noise. This can be a bit trickier to fix on your own, so it's best to let a mechanic handle it. They can also check for any other underlying issues that may be causing the noise.
