How do I change the brake pads on my Audi A1?

I recently purchased a used Audi A1 and I'm unfamiliar with the process of changing brake pads. Can anyone provide guidance on the steps involved in changing them?

First, gather all necessary tools such as a lug wrench, jack, and new brake pads. Then, loosen the lug nuts and raise the car with the jack. Remove the wheel and locate the caliper and brake pads. Remove the old brake pads and replace with the new ones. Finally, reattach the caliper and wheel. Make sure to consult your car manual for specific instructions.

Replacing brake pads can be challenging for those who are new to car maintenance. I recommend watching online tutorials or seeking guidance from a friend who is experienced in this type of repair. Remember to always prioritize your safety and take your time when completing any car maintenance tasks.

My friend who is a mechanic recommended using a lubricant spray on the caliper bolts to make them easier to remove. It's a small tip, but it can save time and frustration during the brake pad replacement process.
