How to fix a squeaky brake pedal in an Audi 80?

I have an Audi 80 and recently noticed that the brake pedal is making a loud squeaking noise every time I press it. It's not affecting the performance of the brakes, but it's definitely annoying. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi John, squeaky brake pedals are often caused by worn out or dirty brake pads. I would recommend checking and cleaning your brake pads first. If that doesn't solve the issue, it could be a problem with the brake caliper or a lack of lubrication. In that case, I suggest taking it to a mechanic for further inspection.

Hello John, another common cause of a squeaky brake pedal in an Audi 80 is a faulty brake booster. This is the component that assists with applying pressure to the brakes. If it is malfunctioning, it can cause the pedal to squeak. It's best to have a professional diagnose and replace the brake booster if needed.
