How do I properly maintain the brakes on my Audi A4?

I've noticed that my Audi A4's brakes are not performing as well as they used to. How should I clean and maintain them to ensure they are working at their best?

Hello Karen, maintaining your brakes is crucial for your safety and the longevity of your Audi A4. To properly clean your brakes, use a brake cleaner and a wire brush to remove any dirt or debris. Make sure to also inspect the brake pads and rotors for any excessive wear and replace them if necessary. Additionally, it's important to regularly check and top off your brake fluid. By following these steps, you can ensure your brakes are working at their best.

Hi Karen, make sure to also regularly rotate your tires and keep them properly inflated. This helps distribute the weight of the car evenly, reducing strain on your brakes. Additionally, avoid excessive braking and try to anticipate stops in advance. This can also help prolong the life of your brakes.
