I recently bought a used Audi 80 and want to make sure I am properly maintaining the brake system. What should be included in regular upkeep and what are some common warning signs to look out for?
ReplyRegularly inspect the brake pads and rotors for wear and replace them if necessary. Also check the brake fluid level and top off if needed. As for warning signs, pay attention to any unusual noises or vibrations when braking, as well as a spongy or soft brake pedal.
In addition to checking the physical components of the brake system, it's important to also flush the brake fluid every 2 years or so. This helps remove any contaminants or moisture that can affect brake performance.
If you notice your brake warning light is on, don't ignore it. This could indicate an issue with the brake system, such as low brake fluid or a malfunctioning sensor. It's best to have it checked by a professional to avoid potential safety hazards.
