How do I check and replace the brake pads on an Audi 80?

I have noticed my brakes are squealing and want to make sure they are functioning properly and replace them if necessary. How can I check the brake pads on my Audi 80 and replace them if needed?

To check the brake pads on your Audi 80, first lift the car using a jack and secure it with jack stands. Remove the wheel and locate the brake caliper. You will need to remove the caliper and use a brake pad gauge to measure the thickness of the pads. If they are below the minimum thickness, it is time to replace them.

To replace the brake pads on an Audi 80, you will need to remove the wheel and brake caliper as mentioned before. Use a C-clamp to compress the caliper and remove the old pads. Then, install the new pads by following the manufacturer's instructions and reassemble everything in reverse order.
