To check the brake pad life on an Audi A8, you will need to remove the wheels and inspect the pads visually. Use a flashlight to check for any visible signs of wear and measure the pad thickness using a caliper.

Start by loosening the lug nuts and removing the wheel to access the brake caliper. You can then measure the brake pad thickness using a brake pad gauge or ruler. Be sure to compare the thickness to the minimum recommended thickness for your specific Audi A8 model.

Regularly checking the brake pad life on your Audi A8 is an important part of vehicle maintenance. Once the wheels are removed, inspect the pads for any cracks, glazing, or uneven wear. Measure the thickness and replace the pads if they are below the recommended thickness.
